    19 min drive - 33.2 km
  • The smaller of the two lagoons. I saw this one first and it was amazing. It was off to feel like your driving in the middle of no where and then, boom, amazing glacier lagoon! Lol. I couldn't decide which boat tour to do so I chose to do both (at each lagoon). For the tour I actually liked this one better. Cozier, the guide seemed more knowledgeable, and the mountain backdrop was better. Definitely go hang out at the other lagoon on the beach, but I'd vote do the tour at this lagoon. Love the reflections!!! This was approx 3pm in June. O and I don't recommend if you want to try both tours to do them back to back. The lagoons are only 10km/10min from each other, but this tour went over for me so I missed the other one and had to reschedule it for the morning. Good thing I was staying nearby. #waterlust

Pretty good guesthouse just a few meters away from the ringroad. It got nice double rooms with private bathrooms. Breakfast is simple, but alright. You have access to coffee and tea the whole time. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Clean and handy.

Basic but spotless, quiet, and comfortable. Hot drinks available in the hall. Great breakfast buffet. Reasonably priced - very good stop-over on the way to/from the glacial lagoons.

The property is pretty basic l, needs what need to have and that's it. I didn't sleep because there was an alarm beeping since 2:30am like up to 4:30am so didn't rest, there was no way to warm the room, like heat. Breakfast was good. On the other hand is a perfect spot to see the Northern lights if the weather permits

Spent two nights at this property. We showed up late in the night, but they had an easy self-check in process. Room was simple and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy and warm. Breakfast had the essentials (coffee, tea, breads, spreads, eggs, meats, cheeses). Location was good for visiting Black Diamond Beach and the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. There weren't many dinner options around, so make sure to plan that in advance. Area was also dark enough to catch some northern lights. The shower water did smell like sulfur and the smell filled up the bathroom bedroom, but we were able to air it out pretty quickly by opening the window. No complaints!

A fairly no-frills motel in an amazing location. The room was comfortable and clean, and breakfast was reasonable. There was a good place to have an evening meal about 15 minutes' drive away.
