stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail, there are two other gorgeous waterfalls that a lot of people missed by not going all the way to end end of the trail (which is only a few hundred meters long).

This is an amazing place to hike and see some glorious views - especially on a clear day - which can be a bit tricky. We were extremely fortunate to have some of the the sunniest days recorded. Could not ask for a more comfortable hike. There are glacier hikes that you can pay for but honestly parking at the Park and hiking up yourself is something you will not soon forget. Not too laborious, but you defintely feel like you are exercising. Loved every minute of this hike and I wish I could have stayed longer.

Sadly we only had a day in Skaftafell and I wish we had more time to explore the national park. What we did see was stunning. Nature, hikes, glaciers and ocean all within a stones throw of each other. Well worth a longer visit than just to pass through.

Tremendous family run generational local property.
Tremendous family run generational local property. Gorgeous setting and very close to National Park. Great path in rear of property leading to amazing glacier views and outlet lagoon. Lovely dinner and dessert! Friendly, warm staff. Great relaxing indoor bar and outdoor patio with stunning glacier views. Thank you, Hotel Skaftafell!!!
The location is awesome - right near Skaftafell & views were wonderful from the bar upstairs. We were in the main building and parking was very convienent. The dinner in the restarant was good and no reservation was needed when we went in. Breakfast was good & plentiful. All the staff we interacted with were helpful.
The location of the hotel is closed to the glacier. Breakfast is right on time so we can go out for the ice cave adventure early in the morning. The room is standard for an international hotel, good fit for 3 people in one room. Thanks for recommending us the best local guide tour for the ice cave.
Amazing trail and view at the back of the hotel. We had a good time walking at night time under the midnight sun. Fields of lupines against the backdrop of the glacier. Check in was smooth, staff were friendly. Warm and comfortable room.
