Vatnajökull National Park is one of Iceland's three national parks and is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty. Spanning 14,141 square kilometres, it covers a large part of the country and includes Vatnajökull glacier - Europe's largest outside of the Arctic. With its diverse geography from powerful rivers to glaciers and volcanoes, the park offers exciting opportunities for exploration such as hikes across the icecap or canoeing through the Segull river canyon. Of particular interest are the mesmerising waterfalls such as Dettifoss, Herðubreið table mountain and Ásbyrgi horseshoe-curved cliffs.

At the parking area of the national park, you can go on nature hikes or take a guided glacier walk.
