Plunging 32 meters into a rugged canyon, It is one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders as well as the second most powerful waterfall in the country.

Hike to Bruarfoss Waterfall
You will finish your day’s adventure with a hike to Bruarfoss waterfall, a hidden gem located in a lesser-known area of the Golden Circle. This 2-hour roundtrip hike takes you along a stunning glacial river on easy and mostly flat terrain the entire way.
