Iceland is a country full of beautiful waterfalls. It can be hard to narrow down which ones to see when you have limited time.
After driving Ring Road and exploring the country, here are the five best waterfalls in Iceland that you won’t want to miss!
Godafoss is the fourth largest waterfall in Iceland, and it is easy to access from the road. You can see it as you drive up, and there is not much walking needed.
There is a path you can walk between the two and a campground between them if you need somewhere to stay for the night.
Dettifoss makes it so high on our list because it is an extremely powerful waterfall. In fact, it is the most powerful waterfall in Europe according to many sources.
The water falls 400 feet (122 meters) to the base of the gorge. You can hike right out to the edge of the cliff, but be careful along the edge as some parts are not stable.
Aldeyjarfoss is unique because of the basalt columns surrounding it and the way the water pools at the base.
