Hi everybody! How are you doing out there? 💙

We just wanted to give you a small update during these wild and scary times. Things here at have been pretty slow the last couple of months after some nice and relatively busy summer months.

As we settle into winter mode here in Iceland, we wanted to let you know that Atlantsflug, Melrakki Adventures and Tröll Expeditions are open for business, so go check them out and see what kind of adventure they can set up for you! 🛩🧗‍♀️🗻

We can‘t wait for things to get back to normal and have our terminal buzzing with travelers, see you (hopefully) soon! 🤞

Anyways, we hope you are staying safe and secure and following public health advice. If you plan on visiting Iceland we recommend you check out ➡️ covid.is to get the latest news on the situation here in Iceland.

You know summer has arrived when these fluffy friends are the first ones to great you in the morning. ⠀

Fun fact: Did you know there are more sheep in Iceland then there are humans? Throughout the year there are around 500.000-800.000 sheep in Iceland. The Icelandic sheep is one of the purest breed in the world and although the sheep if famous for it's wool around the world, in Iceland it is bred almost exclusively for it's meat. 🐏 🐑 Please remember to drive safely and rembember to stop by at Skaftafell Terminal. ❤️⠀

Skaftafell Terminal was built to serve as a tour center, a joint meeting point for companies offering tours in the Skaftafell area. ⠀
On May 1st, moved their meeting point to Skaftafell Terminal and we encourage anyone that might be slightly interested in doing the same to contact us, either by messaging us here on instagram, contacting Atlantsflug or just stop by for a cup of coffee and a chat. ☕️🙋⠀

This is where it all began!

For 25 years, the founder and CEO of Atlantsflug , has been offering sightseeing flights from Skaftafell Airport. In this tiny shed, the pilots would eat, sleep and handle customers. And bear in mind that this was before cellphones and the internet. 😲 How did they manage?!

20 years ago the cabin you see on picture #2 was moved to Skaftafell. This was a huge improvement, now we actually had separate bedrooms, a kitchen, and a working toilet. And through the years we have made some amazing friendships in this house 💕 squeezed endless people around the dinner table and played numerous board games. 🎲🃏

But like always times change and we always felt the need for something more. More space for our customers. More time to show people our beautiful surroundings and of course, more toilets! 💩🤭

So here we are today, Skaftafell Terminal, in all its glory. 🤩🥳 @ Skaftafell Terminal

Landhelgisgæsla Íslands/Icelandic Coast Guard came for a visit today 😀

Today this nice crew from Landhelgisgæsla Íslands/Icelandic Coast Guard came for a trial landing and coffee at Skaftafell Terminal. Next time we will fit it in to the hangar as this is such a perfect location for ambulance helicopter like this one.

Spackle and Prime (May 2018)⠀

When the walls were up, we needed to spackle every crack, sand it down and prime all the walls before we could begin to paint. ⠀
