Skaftafell Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Breathtaking view of Skaftafellsjokull glacier tongue and volcanic mountains around on South Iceland.
Panorama Aussicht auf den Skaftafellsjökull Gletscher im Skaftafell Nationalpark
Inside an ice cave in Vatnajokull, Iceland, the ice is thousands of years old and so packed it is harder than steel and crystal clear. Winter travel around the world.  Beautiful landscape background
beautiful hike in the surroundings of Skaftafell. When i saw this mountain, it turns a big smile on my face!

It's worth to walk about an hour to reach this waterfall in the south part of Iceland as  the autumn scene here is so stunting.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,000 reviews)
The room is small, basic and clean. It had three twin beds that were very comfortable and clean. Staff were very nice. The breakfast was outstanding. The location is remote but suited our trip to the Glacier and allowed us to see the Iceberg lagoon and Diamond beach.

Clean room and beautiful location. Amenities were great to still enjoy a day at the hotel while there was a snowstorm and road closures in the area. Delicious food and breakfast!
