We will pick you up in an impressive Super Jeep at Akureyri or Goðafoss, then drive towards the Center Highlands, where we will go Off-Road through sometimes quite deep snow and challenging but fun conditions to reach the falls.
The first one is the majestic waterfall Aldeyjarfoss, which is really a unique waterfall resting just beyond the edge of the harsh and unforgiving Center Highlands and, therefore, out of reach for most people.
Aldeyjarfoss tumbles through a narrow passage into a wide basin surrounded by black basalt columns. These columns provide a stark contrast against the snow and ice in winter and the thrashing white foam from the fall, making it one of Iceland’s greatest photographic gems.
After a good stop there, we go further upriver to explore the hidden gem Hrafnabjargafoss. Many do not know this waterfall, and very few tourists ever see it, especially during the wintertime when it is exciting.
Hrafnabjargafoss spreads out over a series of cliffs, and at one point, it falls into a closed rock bowl. The raging water then continues through a naturally submerged tunnel to continue downriver. In winter, the cliffs around the falls are covered by ice, creating beautiful and mesmerizing conditions.
Many photographers we have taken to those falls have been stunned by their characteristics and beauty and shot some great photos there.
