Next, we visit the Skógar Folk Museum, which contains an outstanding collection of farm and domestic artifacts from Iceland’s past and several turf-built houses. Nearby is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the country, the 62-meter high Skógafoss waterfall. If you booked the optional glacier hike with your travel agency or through the operator’s website in advance, the bus will take you to the base camp before the 14:30 timeslot. The glacier hike is a total of 3 hours, with 1-1.5 hours spent on the ice. The minimum age for the glacier hike is 10 years. You need to bring warm clothing, rain gear, and hiking boots.
