Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Svinafell?
The best area to stay in Svinafell is directly within the handful of accommodations located at the base of the Svínafellsjökull glacier, often referred to as "Glacier Lagoon Hotels" due to their proximity to the famous Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon.

This area is primarily defined by its dramatic natural surroundings. You'll find yourself practically at the doorstep of the Svínafellsjökull glacier tongue, with views of ice caps and mountains. Accommodations here are often spread out, offering a sense of seclusion, and are designed to complement the rugged landscape. The focus is entirely on the natural wonders.

For couples seeking a romantic and awe-inspiring escape, staying right near the glacier is unparalleled. You'll have immediate access to glacier hiking tours, often departing directly from the hotels, and can easily visit Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach for stunning sunrise or sunset views without a long drive. The convenience of being able to step out and witness the natural beauty makes for a truly memorable experience.

Solo travellers who appreciate nature and photography will also find this area ideal. The easy access to walking trails, glacier tours, and the iconic ice lagoon means you can maximise your time exploring.
When is the best time to go to Svinafell?
The best time to visit Svinafell largely depends on what you want to experience, with the summer months from June to August offering the mildest weather and longest daylight hours.

For those keen on hiking and exploring the Svínafellsjökull glacier tongue and the surrounding Skaftafell Nature Reserve, the summer is ideal. The trails are generally clear of snow, and the longer daylight means more time for outdoor activities. Temperatures are typically between 10-15°C, making it comfortable for walking and sightseeing. This is great for active travellers who want to make the most of the natural landscapes.

If witnessing the Northern Lights is a priority, then the winter months, from October to March, are your best bet. While the days are short and temperatures can drop below freezing, the dark, clear nights provide the best conditions for spotting the aurora borealis.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
