Description

Hike to Glymur Waterfall, the second-tallest waterfall in Iceland, on this private tour from Reykjavik.

Glymur is about an hour's drive from Reykjavik, at the end of Hvalfjordur Fjord, also known as Whale Fjord.

From the end of the fjord, you start up a steep, rocky path. As you climb, the views of the fjord and the surrounding mountains open up.

The trail takes you through a forest, across a series of streams and rivers, and along the edge of a steep cliff. Near the waterfall, you cross a narrow log over the river.

Glymur drops 650 feet (198 meters) down a sheer rock face, sending up a misty spray. You have time at the waterfall to take photos and enjoy the scenery.

The hike back down follows the same route, with more views along the way. You may spot native birds such as ptarmigans.

After the hike, you're driven back to Reykjavik.
