34 waterfalls in Westfjords

Dynjandi waterfall

Dynjandi

The jewel of the Westfjords. This wedding-cake waterfall drops 100 meters in stages, getting wider as it falls. The drive to get here is half the adventure - remote fjord roads with sheep and zero traffic. Once you arrive, you'll understand why people make the journey. There's a series of smaller falls below too. Pack a picnic.

Gullfoss waterfall

Gullfoss

The Golden Waterfall. Two massive drops into a rugged canyon, with the river seeming to disappear into the earth. On sunny days the mist creates golden rainbows - that's how it got the name. Part of the Golden Circle, so expect crowds. But honestly? It's worth it. The power here is something else. Stand on the viewing platform and feel the ground shake.
