There is a boat ride offered on the lagoon to explore the enormous floating icebergs in the blue water. In winter time there is a chance that there is too much ice in the water for the boat ride. If so, you can still see and photograph the spectacular icebergs in the lagoon from the shore. There’s a small cafeteria by Jokulsarlon where we can enjoy lunch before heading back west to Skaftafell national park which is renowned for its beauty. The driver guides will show you the best places to go, such as Svartifoss (black waterfall) which runs from a black basalt rock, Svinafellsjokull where Game of Thrones and Batman Begins where partly filmed.
