The best view of these spectacular waterfalls is from the car park, from where you can view the main falls, at the top, and the various cascades below them. If you are fit and sure of foot, you can climb alongside the stream to stand below the main falls, a sheet of water 60 meters wide falling 100 meters over a horizontally stratified rock face, mimicking a leaping chessboard made of water; quite remarkable, and a sight you will never, ever forget.

If you want to see Puffins, and I mean lots of Puffins, then this is the perfect location. You can get to the island of Grimsey by plane or ferry. We had a wonderful few hours walking along the coast taking pictures. You can get quite close to the cliffs and there were 100s of Puffins to view and photograph. We got good results with our 400mm lens. (250mm x 1.6 crop) If you are lucky, you may also get to see whales just off the coastline. The flight is about 30mins from Akureyri. As the island is located on the Arctic Circle, you will also be able to get a certificate to prove that you have crossed the line.
