2025 Southern Region Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

#Waterfall #100 Ways to Travel #gullfoss #geysir #iceland For Asians, Iceland is already part of the Eurasian territory and is considered a circumnavigable island; the nearest natural landscape, Gullfoss, is only 120 kilometers away from the capital, and is usually included in the Golden Circle ~ Geysir is nearby! 🌟The Golden Falls is very spectacular. You can climb up the trail to get close to it. The white snow cliffs are very romantic. It is of course more beautiful when the sun shines on sunny days💕 📍 You can park your car in the scenic area parking lot (free of charge) High viewing point: You can see the panoramic view more completely Low viewing point: You can see the spectacular waterfall from the bottom up, so wear a windproof and waterproof jacket!

If you visit the Vatnajökull Glacier, you'll pass through this area. It's a desolate region, an endless plain covered in volcanic rock. The moss and lichen growing on it give it a unique charm, contrasting sharply with the black rocks, and combined with the snow, it creates an absolutely spectacular landscape. They look like soft blankets, making you want to touch them or lie on them (strictly prohibited!).

What a great experience for me as my first horse rider! Our tour guide was a very personable and patient man. I personally was very nervous but he helped guide and kept us calm! The route itself is scenic, with several rivers ending at waterfalls and back. We love how well cared for and loved these animals are! Choosing this place is definitely the right choice! I would recommend this experience to anyone, especially if you are on the fence about riding a horse. It’s the best way to experience the connection between people and horses while experiencing Iceland’s epic landscape and fully embracing the wild nature of Mr. Iceland. Thank you for such an epic experience! #OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES #Iceland #Horse Riding Experience #Slow Walk #Zoo Tour

🌊 Iceland, the hidden beauty of Brúarfoss Waterfall Iceland, a land filled with mystery, is not only famous for its spectacular waterfalls but also has many lesser-known waterfalls waiting for travelers to explore. On my recent trip, I was fortunate to discover a secluded and tranquil waterfall—Brúarfoss. Its clear blue water flow and peaceful atmosphere left a deep impression on me. 📸 The Charm of Brúarfoss Waterfall - Spectacular Scenery: The water of Brúarfoss is crystal clear, presenting a mesmerizing blue that is stunning. - Peaceful Environment: With few tourists around, there's no noise from tour groups, allowing for a serene viewing experience. - Beautiful Secret: I hope more friends will discover this beautiful waterfall, as it deserves to be appreciated by more people. 🗺️ How to Get There - Navigation: Use Google Maps to search for "Bruarfoss Parking" to find the parking lot. - Parking Information: Upon reaching the parking lot, don't forget to pay the parking fee.

| “Infinity pool” in the uninhabited valley. If you drive from Reykjavik, you will drive along the south bank of Highway 1⃣, pass the town of Selfoss, slow down before reaching Skogafoss, turn left on a dirt road (be sure to check the navigation carefully, it is easy to miss the small intersection), until you reach the parking lot🅿, and then walk for 15-20 minutes to reach this man-made hot spring swimming pool hidden in the mountains. Navigable 🧭Local name: seljavallalaug Seljavallalaug is close to the mountain and buried in a deep canyon. Due to the temperature difference between the hot springs and the air, layers of fog are also shrouded in the hidden and uninhabited valley, adding a bit of psychedelic style. The swimming pool is 25 meters long and 10 meters wide. It was built in 1923 and is one of the oldest hot spring swimming pools still in use in Iceland. Although it is man-made, the water in the swimming pool is natural hot spring water. The hot spring water is replaced every summer, so if you come late, the water may be a little turbid. However, because this place is relatively small, there were not many people when we went there, and we were the only Asian group there Tips: 1⃣The hot spring swimming pool only has a dressing room, and there is no shower room. The dressing room is also simple and divided into several small rooms. There are only simple hooks in the room to hang things. It is recommended to change clothes together for convenience; 2⃣Slippery seaweed grows on the walls and bottom of the swimming pool, especially in summer, dyeing the water a mysterious green. You need to pay special attention to anti-slip. When taking pictures with a camera/mobile phone in the swimming pool, it is best to prepare a waterproof bag.

📍 Ikadal Haukadalur As the name suggests, geysers are hot springs that erupt intermittently – in Iceland, the uncanny workmanship of nature (meaning the uninterrupted burning of boiling water from magma deep underground) allows this show to be broadcast 24 hours a day😲 I still remember arriving at the attraction and feeling very much a shadow of Noboribetsu’s Hell Valley – it was smoky all around with a little bit of mystery…🫧 This geyser also reminds me that there used to be an irregular musical fountain show at City Center – it’s quite interesting to watch the fountains rise and fall one after another☺️ But the difference from the fantasy is that the fountain is not always sprayed very spectacular, like the online introduction of ten meters high 😅 After all, the natural landscape this thing depends on the right time and place ~ #EarthSeeingInstantly #AllWeather Fountain ShowBroadcast #Geysir Geyser #Icadale #Iceland #øhhejtravel #20221001

Looking for a spectacular excursion not too far from the capital of Iceland? We highly recommend the excursion to the lava caves Raufarhólshellir, just 30 minutes from Reykjavik. You will witness the inner workings of a volcanic eruption here. Follow the tunnel where the lava flowed thousands of years ago to deep underground. A true adventure for young and old. On arrival you will be offered a helmet with lighting and that is necessary. The further you walk into the lava tunnel, the darker it gets. Raufarhólshellir is one of the largest lava caves in Iceland. The tunnel has a length of more than one kilometer, but only the first 400 meters can be visited with an experienced guide. Sturdy shoes and warm clothing are a must, as the temperature in the cave is only just above freezing. In some places the top has collapsed and this is how the sun gains access to the lava tunnel. This also explains why there is snow in some places. The different mineral types in the rock also provide different colors in the cave. An ideal trip of three hours from Reykjavik! #iceland #lava #reykjavik #excursion #cave #gooutside #bucketlistreboot

If you have limited time in Iceland but wish to witness the wonderful waterfall, you can opt to head to Gullfoss. Gullfoss Waterfall Iceland is a great choice to visit because it is relatively close to town around 116 kilometre that took us 1 hour and 40 minutes. There is no hike to Gullfoss. Just a short walk to the viewing platform and a brief distance down to the waterfall. It is easily accessible by most people, though there are some stairs and path to the waterfall which is slippery. The waterfall stands tall at 32 metre. The crevice is about 20 metres wide and 2.5 kilometres in length. The average amount of water running down the waterfall is 141 cubic metres. We took the Golden Circle excursion trip and it was convenient as we were drove to all these exciting attractions in Iceland #waterfall #gullfoss #iceland

All waterfalls in Iceland have one characteristic, which is "magnificent" This Gullfoss waterfall is located in the Hvítá River Canyon in the southwest of Iceland. It is the second largest waterfall in Iceland (the largest is Dettifoss in the north). The two-tier waterfall is quite magnificent #Learn to take photos#Beautiful travel photos#Guide to taking photos of scenic spots

Amazing sunset colours on typical turf house beneath former cliffs ♡South coast Iceland♡ #awesomepic#instagramworthydestinations

I still remember getting off the bus and walking straight ahead until I saw this sea arch in front of me. Standing here quietly watching the waves hitting the shore, the endless sea makes people feel very peaceful and all worries are thrown behind. Just before sunset, the setting sun shines softly on the sea arch, and the warm color adds a touch of calmness. Does anyone think that the sea is a panacea like me? #mostcooltravelexperience #attractionphotographyguide #travelinspiration #kolcheck-inhotspot #naturalwonders #seasidephotographystrategy #iceland #iceland #icelandroadtrip #overseastravel

Iceland is truly a mindblowing destination. With its waterfalls, dreamy sunsets, black beaches and glaciers it falls to be my favourite place for roadtrips and adventures. We decided to visit Iceland in December to fully enjoy the wintery landscape, but I would love to re-visit in summer when the days are much longer! Considering the fact that days in December have approximately 5 hours of sunlight, we decided to explore the South and East coast- home to some of the most spectacular waterfalls. We rented our 4x4 from Geysir Car Rental and commenced the road trip stopping in Reykjavik, Kirkjufel, famous for its black sand Reynisfjara beach, visited Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls and had the best spa experience in the Blue Lagoon. We stayed in Ion Adventure Hotel, which had a heated pool and the best Aurora light observatory. #iceland #icelandroadtrip #awesomepic

Vik is surely a popular travel destination in Iceland, and we recommend 100% to make a stop here while traveling around the country.

#adventuremoments There’s something utterly otherworldly about watching green ribbons of light ripple across an Arctic sky. Seeing the Northern Lights — Aurora Borealis — in Iceland isn’t just a pretty sight; it’s a full-on adventure. Here's how to do it right. What are the Northern Lights? ✨ The Aurora Borealis is a natural light show caused by charged solar particles colliding with Earth's atmosphere. The result? Magical waves of green, pink, purple, and sometimes red light dancing across the night sky. When to Go? 📆 Your best shot is September to April, with the peak season from November to February when nights are longest and darkest. * Time of night: 9 PM – 2 AM is prime time * Weather matters: You need clear skies — cloud cover means no show * Solar activity: More geomagnetic activity means brighter auroras Use online sites for real-time aurora forecasts and cloud coverage maps. Where to See the Northern Lights in Iceland? 📍 To maximize your chances, you’ll want dark skies, minimal light pollution, and a touch of luck. Top spots to chase the lights: * Thingvellir National Park – Close to Reykjavik, wide open skies, historical and scenic * Snaefellsnes Peninsula – Mountains, ocean views, and starry skies * Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon – Auroras reflecting off floating icebergs? Unreal * Reykjanes Peninsula – Lava fields and geothermal areas, just 30 mins from the airport * Anywhere far from city lights – Even your remote cabin or campsite Pro tip: self-drive with a 4x4, so you can adapt quickly based on the forecast. How to Go Aurora Hunting 🧭 Self-guided trip: * Rent a car, bring warm layers, and follow the forecast * Download apps like My Aurora Forecast or Aurora Alerts * Ideal for flexibility and photographers Guided tours: * Experts know where to go based on the latest data * Many offer free second tries if no lights are seen * Options: Super Jeep night tours, boat aurora tours, even combo tours with hot springs Photography Tips for the Lights 📸 * Camera: DSLR or mirrorless * Tripod: Absolutely necessary * Settings: Manual mode, long exposure (5–20 sec), high ISO (800–3200), wide aperture (f/2.8) * Don’t forget to turn off your flash and bring extra batteries (cold drains them fast) What to Wear? 🧣 Northern lights hunting means standing still outside in freezing weather. Pack like you’re going to space: * Thermal base layers * Windproof insulated jacket * Hat, gloves, scarf * Waterproof boots * Hot drinks in a thermos = bonus points Make It an Adventure 🏕️ * Combine aurora hunting with a soak in a hot spring (like the Secret Lagoon or Hrunalaug) * Stay in remote countryside hotels or glass cabins with aurora wake-up calls * Turn the hunt into a full road trip across the south coast or Westfjords Final Tips ⚠️ * Don’t go only for the lights. Even if nature doesn’t cooperate, Iceland’s landscapes will still blow your mind * Be patient. The lights might show up suddenly or take hours. Keep watching * Avoid full moon nights — the darker the sky, the better Your Aurora Hunt Checklist ✅ * Go between September–April, darkest months are best * Check cloud and aurora forecasts * Leave the cities, chase dark skies * Bring warm gear, snacks, and a tripod * Combine it with hot springs, glacier tours, or camping

Gljufrabui is a waterfall next to Seljalandsfoss. 5 minutes walk from Seljalandsfoss. Free admission. After passing through the narrow path at the base of the waterfall, you can see the waterfall hidden in the rocks. This place is popular because you can stand on the rocks and take photos with the waterfall in the background. However, the path to enter the base of the waterfall here is narrow and the number of people is limited, so there is quite a line. To get to the base of the waterfall, you have to walk through a puddle, so it's better to wear shoes that you don't mind getting wet. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7VT1W9norawe6q63A #0yentravelFebruary2025 #Icelandroadtrip

Iceland Self-Driving 2/7 Days Cloudy and rainy. Leaving the capital Reykjavik, head south and enter Iceland's natural scenery. Rútshellir Cave The exterior looks like the cave from Lord of the Rings. A hollow in the mountain wall suddenly appeared in a large grassland. It was so dark that one could not see the fingers, and a miniature altar for sacrifice appeared at the end. The ground is lined with Nordic elf puppets. The atmosphere is a bit weird. 《Dyrholaey》 Also known as Cape Potland, it is the southernmost point of Iceland. Strong winds brought thick fog. Park the car and walk towards the trail. The fog made the vision unclear for about a few meters. When you reach the end, you can look down at the curving coast from a high point and see the Puffin, a bird unique to Iceland, nesting on the cliff, waiting to spread its wings and fly. He looks a bit like a flying penguin. It is small in size, with a yellow and curved beak. Their bright orange legs, black feathers and white belly are their hallmark. It is the representative bird of Iceland. I often see it on souvenirs and postcards. The black sand beach and black basalt near the peninsula, in the wind and rain with big waves, tourists crowded on the beach to watch the waves and take selfies. It was a bit cold due to the strong wind, so I went into the tourist rest center on the beach. The coffee, dessert and beer in the glass cabinet can make the driver Replenish physical energy. The place where we stayed at night was very special. It's called Volcano Huts Þórsmörk Polsmok Volcano Lodge There is a shuttle bus in the morning and evening, and the journey takes about one and a half hours. A huge shuttle bus arrived, and soon a long and turbulent river appeared. There was a camper stuck in the river ahead, and it looked like it was about to be washed away. A truck appeared nearby, ready to tow the vehicle. "Should we drive across the river too?" Just as I was thinking about it, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and almost everyone in the car exclaimed, I turned my head and looked out the window, and saw the car swaying on the river. Arriving at the campsite, we saw the log cabins standing tall and the rain-washed mountains in the distance. Walking across the large lawn leads to the wooden house, the sauna next to it emits warm yellow light. Walking with a lantern, it looks like the poster of the movie "Nomadland". Travelers from afar need to return to the house to rest. The cabin is filled with the scent of wood at night. After a tiring day, the traveler can finally have a good rest.

#getgoing2025 Golden Circle Route, Iceland The Golden Circle is one of Iceland’s most popular tourist routes, covering a total of about 300 kilometers from Reykjavik into the Icelandic countryside. It offers a perfect introduction to the country’s natural wonders, including geysers, waterfalls, and volcanic landscapes. Key Features: • Þingvellir National Park: The first stop on the route, a UNESCO World Heritage site where visitors can see the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and explore the historical site of the Icelandic Parliament. • Geysir Hot Springs Area: Home to the famous Strokkur Geyser, which erupts every few minutes, sending hot water up to 30 meters into the air. • Gullfoss Waterfall: One of Iceland’s most stunning waterfalls, Gullfoss cascades in two stages, creating a powerful and scenic display. • Optional Stops: Visitors can also explore additional sites such as Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater lake, and Secret Lagoon, a natural hot spring. Tips: • The Golden Circle is easily accessible from Reykjavik, and a full day is usually enough to explore the main attractions. • Dress warmly and be prepared for changing weather conditions. The Golden Circle Route is a must-do for anyone visiting Iceland, offering an incredible overview of the country’s geological wonders and natural beauty.

Start your day at Urriðafoss Trout Waterfall. This waterfall has the highest average water volume in Iceland and ranks second in Europe! The first place is the Rheinfall in Switzerland. This waterfall can be arranged as one of Iceland's tourist attractions. There are very few tourists here, and few people come here. If you want to take pictures of waterfalls in Iceland and want to avoid the crowds, it is highly recommended to come here! There is a reason why it is called Trout Falls. This waterfall is the lower reaches of the Shorso River Þjórsá (the longest river in Iceland). The Shorso River Þjórsá is a place rich in trout. Every summer, people will go fishing for trout here. The waterfall was opened to fishing with fishing rods in 2017. The attraction I visited a few days ago (stokkseyri beach view) mentioned the Þjórsárhraun volcano. The Shorso River Þjórsá flows down along the lava left by the Þjórsárhraun volcano, and the Trout Falls appeared. And you can see traces of lava along the way at stokkseyri beach #globaltravel

We stayed at Úthlíd Cottages the night before, and this morning my husband and I headed to the nearby Blue Waterfall. Before we set off, I had no idea what the waterfall looked like. I thought it was just an ordinary waterfall that was just a little bluer in color, but I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful! Photos can't capture its magnificence and beauty, I recommend everyone to come Parking lot address: Hlauptunga, 801 Selfoss, Iceland (Google search for Brúarfoss Parking) Opening hours: 24 hours (but it is very dangerous without any lighting facilities at night, so it is recommended to go during the day) Parking fee: No tickets required, but you need to pay a parking fee of 750 ISK/4hrs (1~7 people/car) 2000 ISK/4hrs(8~9 people/car) 4000 ISK/4hrs(20+ persons/car) There is a big parking lot here. We came here at around 8 or 9 in the morning when the sun just rose. There were not many people there, so we had a lot of fun taking photos. XD Brúarfoss waterfall is also known as the Bridge Falls. Because the water of the waterfall is very blue, many people call it Tiffany Blue Falls or Blue Secret Falls (because it is difficult to reach). But now more and more people know about this place, and it is very easy to reach ~ it is no longer a secret place In the past, when there was no parking lot so close, you had to walk for 1 to 2 hours to see this waterfall. Many people said it was worth it. After a trip today, I found that it is really worth arranging a photo here! #GlobalTravel

#europetrip Tucked away in the heart of Iceland’s Golden Circle, Bruarfoss is a hidden treasure that’s often overshadowed by more famous waterfalls like Gullfoss. But let’s be honest—sometimes the best things are the ones you have to work a little harder to find. Bruarfoss is known for its stunning turquoise waters, which flow through a narrow, rocky channel, creating a series of beautiful cascades. The color comes from the glacial meltwater, which is so pure it looks like something straight out of a dream. The vibrant blue contrasts dramatically with the surrounding greenery, making it feel like a secret paradise. Getting to Bruarfoss is half the fun. While it’s relatively easy to find using Google Maps, the hike to the waterfall is an adventure in itself. Expect a short walk through moss-covered paths, muddy stretches, and the occasional crossing over small streams. But once you get there, it’s totally worth it. The waterfall is a quiet, peaceful spot compared to Iceland’s larger, more tourist-heavy attractions. It’s the perfect place to take a break from the crowds, snap some incredible photos, and simply enjoy the tranquility. Plus, you’ll feel like a secret explorer discovering Iceland’s best-kept hidden gem. So, next time you’re exploring the Golden Circle, make sure to venture off the beaten path and give Bruarfoss the attention it truly deserves!

Gullfoss in Iceland is a breathtaking natural wonder, resembling a spectacular water curtain show! This magnificent two-tiered waterfall cascades down a cliff approximately 32 meters high, with mist rising and creating an almost otherworldly atmosphere. As you approach the waterfall, you can feel the mist on your face and even smell the fresh scent of water. When sunlight passes through the mist, the occasional rainbow is truly awe-inspiring. Gullfoss is not only a great place for photography but also a magical spot where you can feel the power of nature. This site is a key attraction in Iceland's Golden Circle. When you visit, don't forget to bring your camera to capture this stunning natural beauty!

#familytrips2024 Comtrary to what most people think, the most voluminous waterfall in Iceland is not gullfoss but Urriðafoss! This is really another waterfall which many people overlook but it is pretty and majestic in its own way. If you are lucky, you can spot some fish and even see seals frolicking in the water here. Feel free to allocate about 15-30 minutes to enjoy this waterfall!
