This is another one of the many gorgeous waterfalls in Iceland. Its pretty tall, powerful and impressive. I made the nearly 500 step climb to the top by the right side of the waterfall, expecting a spectacular view. It is a long upward climb, many stop along the way to catch their breath. I was truly disappointed, the view from the platform is nothing compared to the ground view. Certainly not worth all the effort. All you can see at this vantage point is a small side view of the falls. If you’re questioning making the climb, don’t feel bad if you don’t. You have the best view right in front of you!

We visited on a very overcast rainy early morning and this waterfall was still absolutely jaw dropping…possibly even more so as it looked so dramatic. Wear waterproofs if you want to walk up towards it as the spray of water will soak you. Absolutely beautiful place. You can easily park and then walk 5 minutes.

One of several sensational waterfalls reachable from Reykjavik. The water has a drop of 62m (cf Niagara, 57 m – though much wider) and cascades with a great roar. You soon get damp as you approach it. It was sunny for our visit which created a great and spectacular rainbow to one side of the fall in its spray. You can climb about 465 steep steps to one side to look down on it from above, but it’s quite a slog!

You can't go behind this one, though it's one of the more accessible of the famous falls. You don't need to be fit or have proper gear to get to it, and it's very safe--no deep waters and few ways to get hurt. You can see that pretty clearly from the photo I attached. That said, I climbed the stairs alongside it and got to see the overhead view and got to see the rainbow from above. There are also a ton of trails and things around it. Close by, there's a restaurant that is pretty good, reasonably priced, and has reasonably priced lunches. Definitely don't skip!

Very beautiful waterfalls. Short way to reach the waterfalls at their bottom. The possibility exists to climb about 400 steps and see the waterfalls from the top. Make sure you wear waterproof clothes when visiting.

The must-see waterfall by all means! This is something not to be missed when you visit Iceland. Make sure to wear waterproofs when you visit here, especially in winter you will get drenched when the wind changes and gets freezing. Warning though the path up the side of the cliff to go on the trail is not the sturdiest and when the wind picked up at the top, I felt like I was honestly hanging on for dear life. I would not recommend taking kids up to the top when it is windy.

This is one of the major attractions here in Iceland. It's along the ring road and attracts lots of visitors. There's a huge parking lot right on site. Free of charge. And some shops and a public toilet. The fall is 60m high. A big drop carrying a lot of water. At least when we visited. You can get really close to the fall. So close that you will need some waterproof gear, except you like getting fully soaked. The spray is strong. Unlike Seljalandsfoss you can't walk behing the fall here. Seljalandsfoss for me was a bit more impressive even. But that doesn't make this a bad attraction. It IS an amazing sight. No wonder the fall and location was also used in the 8th season of Game of Thrones. But don't stop here at the fall and at the bottom. Follow the path and the stairs up. Ok, when it's windy (and it was), the stairs will swing slightly. But it's worth to get up there. Not just to see the fall from the top. That's fine and most visitors actually do just that and stop at the platform on top. But the path continues following the river upstream. You can hike for miles and miles. There are more waterfalls up here. It's unbelievable beautiful to walk along the valley up there. For us the prettiest spot we've seen in Iceland. And only a handful of visitors.

While Iceland has hundreds of waterfalls due to numerous streams and glacier melting, Skogafoss counts into one of 4 Iceland's big waterfalls. It's located on the southern Route 1, some 15 min drive after a similar Seljandsfoss. Skogafoss is similar in height, however wider than the latter one. Black lava stone and sand add up to beautiful scenery. You can climb to the top of the fall via a wooden stairway leading up, but we were unable to do that due to heavy rain all day which I deeply regret. Certainly a must stop on your Iceland tour.

Before I start - please show respect for this area and STAY ON THE PATHS. We had a winter experience of Skogafoss and the ground was covered in snow and ice. (It was raining hard.) Be aware that Skogafoss is not suitable for disabled people. The waterfall was amazing and nice to see the ice around it. There are some steps to climb to get to the top of the waterfall and you will need a good degree of fitness to climb these. As I mentioned before, the ground and paths were very icy, so you will need to take care. One thing that disappointed me was the amount of self entitled people who felt that the signs instructing people to not leave the paths or walk on the grassy area did not apply to them as it is these people who are destroying the plants and mosses that may take 50 - 100 years to grow. If you are not capable of respecting this beautiful area, then I recommend you stay at home. Skogafoss is about a 90 minute to 2 hour drive from Reykjavik. I recommend leaving Reykjavik by 9am to avoid the crowds.

The visit to this waterfall is part of the south coast tour. It’s a high fall and you can walk very close to it. You must wear waterproof clothing to remain dry. It’s a beautiful location, not hard to reach. It can be slippery if too cold and icyThere are also stairs to walk to the top of the waterfall. All the surroundings provide a beautiful scenery. A must see.
