Terms and Conditions

Informational purpose

Skaftafell.org provides general destination, hiking, tour-comparison and trip-planning information. Content is not a personal risk assessment, professional guiding service, guarantee of access or substitute for instructions from the responsible authority.

Distances, durations and difficulty descriptions are indicative. Your result may differ because of route choice, weather, snow, ability, stops and current restrictions.

Conditions and Responsibility

Icelandic roads, trails, rivers, weather and glaciers can change quickly. You are responsible for checking current information, choosing an appropriate plan, carrying suitable equipment and following closures, signs and instructions.

Glaciers are technical terrain. References to a viewpoint, tour or glacier area do not authorise self-guided access onto the ice.

Third-party websites and bookings

Links may lead to tour operators, booking platforms, accommodation services, maps or official information. External services are responsible for their own content, availability, prices, terms, privacy practices and performance.

If you book through an external service, the contract is between you and the provider identified during checkout. Skaftafell.org is not responsible for payment processing, fulfilment, cancellations, refunds, schedule changes or disputes relating to that booking.

Affiliate relationships

Skaftafell.org may earn a commission from eligible referrals. A commercial relationship does not change your obligation to review the provider's current description and booking terms.

Permitted use and intellectual property

You may read, link to and quote brief portions of the guide for lawful personal, editorial or educational purposes with appropriate attribution. You may not reproduce substantial parts of the site, remove attribution, scrape it in a way that disrupts service or present the content as official park material.

Third-party names, marks and images remain the property of their respective owners. Nothing on the site grants a licence beyond what is expressly stated or permitted by law.

Availability and limitation

We work to keep the guide accurate and available, but do not guarantee that every page is complete, current, uninterrupted or free from error. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Skaftafell.org is not liable for indirect loss arising from reliance on general information or from the acts of an external provider.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, or limits any mandatory consumer right that applies to you.

Changes, severability and contact

We may update the website and these terms as services or legal requirements change. The published date identifies the current version. If one provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted.

Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact page. A dispute should first be raised with enough detail for us to understand and respond to it.
