List of all Waterfalls

We made a list of more than 130 most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland. This is of course nowhere near the list of all, because there are thousands of them. Nevertheless, we believe that our detailed guide to waterfalls in Iceland covers all you need to know about famous Icelandic waterfalls. We hope it will help you choose your favorite waterfalls to see in Iceland and plan your trip.

All the waterfalls in this article are accessible to visitors. Many of them easily, some of them not. We list the exact location of every waterfall, its photo, its height, and if a waterfall is accessible in winter. If a hike to a waterfall is necessary, we include all info about the hike – distance, difficulty, and hiking trail itself. Importantly, we also describe what type of car you need to reach every single waterfall, or in Icelandic, “foss”.

Note: We will be adding even more waterfalls. Please, if you know of any beautiful waterfall we have not covered yet, send us your picture and waterfall info and we will give you all the credit for it (and a bottle of wine when we meet in person)!

The biggest waterfalls

The biggest waterfalls in Iceland by volume are Urriðafoss, Dettifoss, Hafragilsfoss, Selfoss, and Goðafoss. Measuring volume is tricky and there are scarce data. The volume of the waterfalls varies seasonally and also in time. This means that any list of the largest Icelandic waterfalls can’t be entirely precise. Nevertheless, all these waterfalls are definitely big.

The most popular waterfalls

The most popular waterfalls in Iceland are Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Gljúfrabúi, and Dettifoss. Most of these waterfalls are located around the easily accessible south coast. These are not only the most visited Icelandic waterfalls but also the most visited places in entire Iceland. These waterfalls are very touristy and in full season you may meet tens of tourist buses there. To enjoy them to the fullest, it’s best to arrive at off-peak hours or during a shoulder season.

The most beautiful waterfalls

The most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland are said to be Dettifoss, Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Dynjandi, and Gljúfrabúi. This list is of course highly subjective and everyone has to choose his own favorite waterfall. Some prefer big waterfalls, some prefer remote waterfalls. This list is a blend of all waterfalls the most frequently referred to as the most beautiful ones.

Dettifoss is said to be the most beautiful because it’s one of the biggest, Skógafoss because it’s big and in picturesque surroundings, and Seljalandsfoss because you can walk behind it in summer. Dynjandi is probably the prettiest waterfall in Westfjords, Gljúfrabúi is uniquely hidden in a ravine, Aldeyjarfoss in the highlands, and Fagrifoss on a way to Laki craters. Bruárfoss has the bluest water, Raudufossar is fully covered in orange and Ófærufoss is the highlight of the Eldgjá reserve.

The most hidden waterfalls

The most hidden waterfalls in Iceland are Drifandisfoss, Nýifoss, Núpsárfoss, Bolugil, and Möngufoss. All of these are among the most remote Icelandic waterfalls, yet still accessible and amazingly beautiful. It is of course impossible to exactly tell which waterfall is the most hidden one, but this list should give a good overview of such waterfalls.

Prepare well when visiting the hidden Icelandic waterfalls. Most of them are hard to access and hidden in the highlands. You either need a proper car or proper hiking gear, or both. You should also visit them only in good weather conditions. That being said, there are nearly as many undiscovered waterfalls in Iceland as those that are already discovered. This means there’s still a huge room for exploration and adventure.

FAQ

Below are the most frequently asked questions about Icelandic waterfalls with up-to-date answers.

How many waterfalls does Iceland have?

There are thousands of different waterfalls in Iceland. If someone counted also all the sub-waterfalls the number can easily grow to tens of thousands. Most of the waterfalls in Iceland have actually not been discovered yet. They are hidden in uninhabited and remote parts of Iceland, often referred to as the highlands.

Which Iceland waterfall can you walk behind?

You can walk behind 4 Icelandic waterfallsSeljalandsfoss, Kvernufoss, Selvallafoss, and Skútafoss. The most famous waterfall you can walk behind in Iceland is Seljalandsfoss. Most of the sources wrongly state that this is the only waterfall you can walk behind. This is incorrect information. You can also walk behind Laugavallalaug, but it’s so small it doesn’t count.

When walking behind the waterfalls, please take special care. The terrain may be slippery and dangerous. Never do this in snowy or icy conditions. Typically you can walk behind the waterfalls in Iceland only in summer.

Is there a valley of waterfalls in Iceland?

There are 3 well-known waterfall valleys in Iceland:
