Located at the foot of
Vatnajökull, the biggest glacier outside of the polar regions,
Skaftafell is the gateway to the largest national park in Europe. This is an awe-inspiring place, with incredible mountains reaching for the sky and enormous glaciers stretching out in all directions. If you are looking for breathtaking views, great hiking and unforgettable glacier trips, this is certainly Iceland's top location.
Numerous outlet glaciers descend from the main glacier plateau of
Vatnajökull, all unique in shape, form and accessibility. We offer amazing glacier hikes on the most beautiful one of the bunch, the
Falljökull or rightly named "Falling Glacier".
Our two most popular trips both combine
glacier hiking with an
alternative adventure:
One combines the serene beauty of a
glacier hike on Falljökull with an amazing boat trip among the icebergs on
Breiðarmerkurlón, the original Glacier Lagoon. It is called the
Glacier Grand Slam and you can find out more here:

The other combines a short
glacier hike on Falljökull with a wildlife and history tour to the
Ingólfshöfði cape. It is called
Blue Ice & Black Sands and you can find out more here:
Blue Ice & Black Sands
You can also choose a simpler tour and just go for an breathtaking glacier hike on Falljökull:
