We booked this excursion with our cruise ship. It did take a while to drive to the area but was well worth the time involved. We were provided with a long, warm jacket. We wore this jacket over jeans and a light jacket, which was sufficiently warm for the conditions. We did take a hat and gloves, but we didn’t need them. We got close to some of the glaciers in the area. They do have a café onsite as well. I recommend this tour.

This day was one of the most memorable of my life; after touring the glacier bay, we took a short ride to the iceberg lagoon, where I watched the icebergs float out to the river that brought them to the ocean. Here, you will see seals and other such wildlife. They have kayaking here. I walked down to the water and walked along, marveling at the stunning views. To return, I climbed up top and enjoyed the views from up high, then ventured to the Diamond Beach nearby. I highly recommend this approach. There are also food trucks and restrooms here, so it's a great place to grab a snack. This entire area is an absolute must when you are in Iceland. I can't imagine never having had this experience.

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.

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.
