Ways to spend less
- Walk the shore path and Diamond Beach: both are free, only parking is charged.
- Take the amphibian rather than the Zodiac if you just want to be among the icebergs; it costs less than half.
- Combine Skaftafell and the lagoon on one day to pay half the parking fee at the second stop.
- With children under six, the amphibian costs nothing for them.
