Explore the breathtaking Highlands, far from the crowds, by booking this incredible full-day tour. Those eager to discover waterfalls, canyons, and turf houses should book this small-group tour now.

Your day begins with pick-up from Reykjavik and a drive into the southern Icelandic highlands. Here you will see several natural wonders hidden from the casual traveler. Passionate travelers will love getting off the beaten track to explore hidden gems in the country’s interior.

First up, you will see the unique Hjalparfoss waterfall. Marvel at the sight of two waterfalls joined at the bottom, marking where the Fossa and Thjorsa rivers meet. Only a three-minute walk from the parking lot, you will enjoy easy access to this twin waterfall, which boasts impressive rock formations and a serene pool of water below.

Your next stop is Gjain, a flourishing oasis. Here you will see rivulets braiding together into broader streams and small yet beautiful waterfalls. This rugged landscape was a Game of Thrones shooting location, and it will not disappoint. You can explore the area by walking to an old farm and around the waters.

Next, your driver will take you along rocky gravel roads to visit Haifoss waterfall, one of Iceland’s tallest. It tumbles 400 feet (122 meters) amid stunning natural surroundings. A short walk from the car park takes you to the waterfall viewpoint with an outstanding view into Thjorsardalur valley. You will also be able to see the Granni waterfall nearby.

After a delicious lunch at Hrauneyjar Highland Center, it’s time for a short visit to the Sigoldufoss waterfall. Although it's smaller than the other falls on today’s tour, it's often a brilliant blue color. 

The majestic Sigoldugljufur canyon is up next. Graced with many small waterfalls along its length, this canyon has earned the moniker “Valley of Tears.” Its pristine waters often boast a blue-green color, so it’s a magical photography location. Take your time to explore the canyon from above and marvel at the awe-inspiring scenery around you. After your adventures, your driver will take you back to Reykjavik.

Don’t miss this fantastic ten-hour tour of the Highlands full of natural wonders, including a unique canyon, several waterfalls, and colorful landscapes. Check availability now by choosing a date.
