Bring some rain coats and lens wipes and start threading the trails for the best views!

QUICK NOTES:

• What it is: One of the most popular and iconic waterfalls in Iceland.

• Best season: Late spring to mid summer for the most power but honestly any time of the year (but some viewpoints might be closed or icy during winter).

• Best time of day: Sunrise/sunset for the least people and best light.

• Nice to know: You can both see it from the west side (a few options) and east side (just over 1 km / 0.6 miles one way). There's most likely going to be way more people on the west side but it's still super pretty from both sides.
