Your Travel Experience with Baendaferdir
Skaftafell National Park
Skaftafell is easily accessible along Route 1. The closest population centres are Kirkjubæjarklaustur 70 kilometres to the west and Höfn, 130 kilometres to the east. The region is accessible year-round, weather and road conditions permitting. Outside of the summer months, conditions can change rapidly. It is therefore important to inform yourself before visiting. Skaftafell is a hiker's paradise and everyone should be able to find a trail suitable to their skill level. There's an excellent campsite in Skaftafell that is open year-round. Flush toilets are available in the area as well as a variety of seasonal tourism services and privately operated restaurants.
Jökulsárlón- Glacier Lagoon
View the spectacular Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. You can also opt to take an adventurous snowmobile tour on Mýrdalsjökull Glacier.
Diamond Beach
Diamond Beach (Breiðamerkursandur) is a stunning black volcanic sand strip in southeast Iceland, located right next to the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Here, massive icebergs calved from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier wash ashore, glittering like giant diamonds against the dark sand.
