Itinerary

  1. Glymur

    3 hours

    Embark on an unforgettable adventure with Lilja Tours' Private Hiking Tour to Glymur Waterfall, Iceland's second-highest cascade, nestled within a dramatic canyon just an hour's drive from Reykjavík.

    This guided hike leads you through lush valleys and rugged terrain, culminating in the breathtaking view of Glymur Waterfall plunging into a deep canyon. The trail includes two river crossings: the first assisted by a log bridge, and the second requiring wading through water at the waterfall's summit. These crossings add an adventurous element to the hike, so appropriate footwear is essential.

    The hike takes about three hours, and driving there is around 1h15 each way.
