Iceland is famous for its thousands of waterfalls. Among them you will find specimens more than 200 meters high, low and calm, or wide and powerful so much so that attempts at conversation are effectively drowned out by the roar of the falling water.

The choice is great, and many of the most beautiful ones, such as the huge and majestic Gullfoss or the spectacular Skogafoss, are within easy reach of all visitors.

You can find magnificent and varied waterfalls as you travel throughout the island, including the West Fjords and the far north or deep interior. While it’s impossible to name a single most captivating example, we encourage you to check out our list of the 10 most beautiful waterfalls.

Before visiting, it’s a good idea to learn a little more about them, as well as relevant directions to specific locations.
