Hengifoss Waterfall

Reviewed By 843natw - Singapore, Singapore

Trekked up to see the 128m Hengifoss, the 3rd highest waterfall in Iceland. This unique waterfall has streaks of red clay and black basalt pressed into patterns on the cliff face This provided a colourful backdrop for the cascading water flow. Awesome view and well worth the arduous trek.

Waterfall Circle

Reviewed By HayleyW568 - Rawreth, United Kingdom

This is without a doubt the best walk I’ve ever been on - the scenery is stunning, the walk the perfect length and just overall the best medication for the soul! Whilst there were hills there was also a lot of flat ground so not too difficult. We got some amazing pictures and would definitely love to do this walk again if we visit Iceland again.
