Description
See at least nine lesser-known waterfalls in South Iceland on this private super jeep tour from Reykjavik, away from the busiest tourist routes.
In Icelandic, "foss" means waterfall, so you'll see the word in most of the names on this tour.
You're picked up in Reykjavik by your driver-guide in a 4x4 super jeep, with just your group on board. Throughout the day, your guide tells you about Iceland's geology, history, and folklore.
The first stop is Haifoss Waterfall in Thjorsardalur Valley, one of the tallest waterfalls in Iceland, with a drop of 400 feet (122 meters).
Next, you visit Gjain Valley, a quiet valley with small waterfalls, green vegetation, and volcanic rock formations, and Gjafoss Waterfall, known as the "Waterfall of Gifts," which flows into a river below.
Hjalpafoss Waterfall, also in Thjorsardalur Valley, is a two-tiered waterfall surrounded by basalt columns and green moss.
Then you visit Urridafoss Waterfall, which many visitors overlook. With its wide, powerful flow, it's one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland.
The name of Thjofafoss Waterfall means "Thief's Waterfall," and it's said to be named after thieves who hid in the area.
At Fossabrekkur Waterfall, in a remote part of the country, water cascades through rugged terrain.
Next is Sigoldugljufur Canyon, often called the "Valley of Tears" for its many waterfalls, followed by Sigoldufoss Waterfall, a quiet waterfall surrounded by mossy rocks.
The last stop is Arbaejarfoss Waterfall in a remote valley, before you're driven back to Reykjavik.
The waterfalls you visit may vary depending on the conditions and the weather on the day.
