Description
Discover the beauty of the East Iceland countryside on this shore excursion from Seyðisfjörður. Visit the Rjúkandi Waterfall, Stuðlagil Canyon, and Vök Baths.
Travel through the remote countryside of East Iceland along the beautiful Jökuldalur valley, stopping at the picturesque Rjúkandi Waterfall before continuing to Stuðlagil Canyon — one of Iceland’s most impressive basalt formations.
On this tour, we explore the east side of the canyon and hike approximately 2.5 km each way (5 km total) along a mostly flat gravel path. There are two gradual inclines/declines along the route which may feel slightly challenging for some participants, but they are generally easy and manageable for anyone in normal walking condition.
Reaching the canyon floor allows you to experience the dramatic basalt columns and glacial river up close — a truly unforgettable highlight for nature lovers and photographers.
After the hike, we unwind in the soothing geothermal waters of Vök Baths.
