Grab this opportunity to go out on a day tour that takes you off the beaten track through one of Iceland's longest valleys, Bárðardalur, all the way to the edge of the highlands.

Take the road that passes through the Bárðardalur Valley. See the farms scattered along the foot of the surrounding hills. Follow the glacial Skjálfadafljót River until you reach the last farm. Continue your trip to Aldeyjarfoss Waterfall, one of the most spectacular and interesting sights in Iceland. See how the water from the glacial river drops into an icy pool more than 20m below.

Explore the basalt pillars that frame Aldeyjarfoss. These structures are counted among the gems of Icelandic natural beauty. Only a short distance away is Hrafnabjargafoss Waterfall, hidden in the middle of a barren lava field.

Return to the green Bárðardalur Valley by crossing the river. Enter the ring road and head for Goðafoss Waterfall, yet another roaring waterfall with a drop of around 12m and a width of 30m. End your tour after having seen some of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland.
