A day at Skaftafell National Park

This is an amazing location if you love nature, mountains, and ice. If you are not doing a tour, you can walk up to the foot of the glacier but cannot hike or climb on the glacier. Note that depending on weather, they may restrict how close you can get. The best way to experience the glacier is by signing up for a glacier hike tour which allows you to walk on glacier itself. However, this is not kid friendly so if you are w/ kids or strollers, you will be limited to just walking up to the glacier, grabbing some pictures and moving along. There is a bathroom you can use. There is also a restaurant but it was closed when we went.
