in winter there is not much to sail but there is a lot to see and experience. Our guide Boris knew us after a short walk get on board safely and sail us around the icebergs he was a source of information. You will be equipped with a lovely warm jacket and life jacket and can relax afterwards drink a cup of tea or coffee.

We are so glad we went with Fjallsarlon Ultimate Ice tour adventure. From the glacial lagoon boat ride to the glacier hike it was great. The guides were great and very informative. Fjallsarlon lagoon is hidden from the Ring road so it is by passed by the majority of tourist whitch is part of the reason it was so great. We stopped at the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon after visiting Fjallsarlon and were very disappointed, to commercialized and too busy, and the view of the glacier wasn't that good. Forget all the hype about Jökulsárlón and go to Fjallsarlon if you want to feel and see natural Iceland and not the circus.

We ended up booking this tour on a whim after another lagoon tour was canceled. Fjarllsarlon is set back a bit a more protected from the wind, so we had no issues. The lagoon is breathtaking and much quieter than Jökulsárlón. We preferred it to the busier lagoon down the road. Highly recommended! The walk from the starting point to the lagoon takes about 5 minutes but didn’t pose any issues.

Wild experience! Sailing between the icebergs and experiencing them very close is something very special. We heard a brag and a splash, and a big piece broke off on one of the mountains behind us, it was great to experience. Great boats, good guides and good equipment. Can definitely be recommended. The trip is unique and worth all the money.

Fjallsarlon really is a wonderful stop when driving the ring road located just before Jokulsarlon if you are driving counter clockwise or just after clockwise. Whilst Jokulsarlon is clearly much larger in size, this can also be said for the groups of tourists that it attracts throughout the day. Fjallsarlon tends to be a bit quieter, although still runs boat tours it seems to have a much more personal feel to it. The glacier is closer to you giving a really good glimpse into the formations of ice and a the deep blue colours of it. There is a lovely little cafe with toilets as well so great to grab a drink and make a pitstop on the drive if needed.

This is a lagoon quite close to the more popular Jokulsalron glacier lagoon. However, I enjoyed it more. You can also get right up to the water, although it is a bit of an uphill and offroad drive. What I enjoyed was how quiet and secluded it was here. You could really enjoy the nature here compared to the much busier Jokulsalron glacier. I would recommend stopping here for a visit before continuing on to Jokulsalron.

We stopped at sunrise in the direction of Jokulsaron. It was magical because the sun brought beautiful colors and we were alone in peace away from the tourist influx of other glaciers or lagoons. Essential step with the sun rising or setting, take only a few minutes to walk.
