One of North Iceland’s most famous waterfalls. The name means Waterfall of the Gods. Legend tells of a chieftain who threw his pagan idols into the falls when Iceland turned to Christianity. Easy to reach from the Ring Road. 🌊

A stunning 60 metre waterfall that drops over a former sea cliff. The unique part is the path that lets you walk behind the curtain of water for a sheltered view inside the falls. At sunset the light through the water is spectacular. 🌊🌅

One of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. A 60 metre drop and 25 metre width. On sunny days the spray often throws single or double rainbows. Local lore says a Viking settler hid a chest of gold behind the curtain of water. 🌈

A gentle series of cascades near the Ring Road by Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Not a single tall drop but a picturesque stretch of flowing water over rocks and old lava. Easy to pause and enjoy. 💧

A beautiful waterfall inside Þingvellir National Park. Set within the dramatic Almannagjá gorge on the edge of the North American plate. The river Öxará feeds the falls and the scene is picture perfect year round. ❄️💧

One of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls and a Golden Circle highlight. A powerful two tier cascade that drops into a narrow canyon. On sunny days the spray often throws shimmering rainbows. 🌈

Dramatic waterfall in a remote valley, located near a volcano with many photo opportunities. Maybe the tallest waterfall I have seen around Iceland. Tall and powerful, drop into a deep canyon, raw and incredible. Go down to the bottom for a closer view, spray on your face, worthy every step. 💧 Kind of a hidden gem in Iceland.

Iconic multi step waterfall, powerful and huge, with enough angles for jaw dropping photos. On sunny days rainbows appear in the mist, spray and roar, incredible. A must see highlight of the Golden Circle. 🌈

Definitely worth a visit. There's a million points of view of this waterfall and all of them look great. You can also walk behind the fall, full curtain of water, spray and light, incredible. There is a place to buy gifts and food, and parking is paid. Easy stop and so beautiful. 💧

This was one of the most exciting places I ever been, the raw landscape and those huge natural monuments impress everyone one even the more skeptical 🧐. Easily accessible from the parking lot. On a sunny day, you will likely see rainbow in front of the fall as well.
