Explore some of the top waterfalls in Iceland along the Jökulsá River on this special Waterfall trail tour. The tour will take nine quality hours since the trail takes place along a river that boasts of 15 waterfalls. You will not only love the breathtaking walk but also be blown away by the panoramic view of the landscapes. The waterfalls have a vertical fall of 600 meters in just about 30Km. Your climax of the tour will be a visit to an abandoned farm of Kleif. If you are daring enough, you can try winching across the river using a traditional cableway.

What to expect?

  • The Icelandic Wilderness Center is located at the edge of the wilderness by the Jökulsá river which boasts around 15 waterfalls, large and small. No other river in the country has as many waterfalls, and the river’s vertical drop is around 600 meters in only 30 kilometers. After experiencing the Wilderness Exhibition, the walk takes you to the abandoned farm of Kleif, and soon you will catch sight of the lowest of the waterfalls. Daring souls can try their hand at winching themselves across the Jökulsá river by a traditional cableway. As you walk along the river, the falls appear one after the other. You’ll follow a marked trail through a birch wood. The walk from the Center to the Laugarfell Highland Hostel takes about 6 hours. At the hostel, you can relax in an outside pool of warm spring water.
