Sat May 30 2020Super easy, wide, manicured trail. Great falls and pools but the ease of the trail makes it super busy. Food truck was in the parking area when we left near lunch time.
Sun Oct 06 2019Pretty but too many people, no peace!
Thu Sep 12 2019Easy walk, pretty waterfall but so many that are better.
Mon Sep 09 2019Nice trail that goes through the park - easy walk. Waterfall itself isn’t the most fantastic in Iceland but the park is worth a walk through.
Tue Aug 20 2019Easy walk on gravel trail. Waterfall is pretty, but there are many more picturesque falls in Iceland. Lots of people not always respecting the area, which can be frustrating to see.
Tue Aug 13 2019Very busy but very scenic. Do it if you pass by!
Sat Jul 20 2019Nice walk with interesting landscape and small colourful waterfall at the end.
Mon Jul 08 2019Easy, but wonderful walk, mostly on paved path. Nice outing, fascinating history.
Fri Jul 05 2019Beautiful little falls, but not actually a hike. Short walk on a well maintained road, pretty much. Worth the extra half mile if you’re already at Thingvellir, but don’t go there just for this.
Fri May 24 2019So this is not a hike. It’s a walk along a well-groomed path. The falls are beautiful though. It took about 30 minutes for us to go up and back.
Tue Apr 30 2019Facilement accessible à toute la famille et même aux handicapés. Site accessible à tous et très beau
Sun Oct 28 2018Easy, but fun. Great falls.
Fri Sep 14 2018This waterfall is located within Pingvellir National Park. In my opinion, the waterfall is not the highlight of the things to see. The history is interesting and i've never seen a fissure before. You can walk to the several attractions in about 2-3 hours.
Fri Sep 14 2018A bit of a crowd but still a beautiful and worthwhile walk
Thu Sep 06 2018There weren’t as many tourists as I anticipated. Beautiful waterfall and the whole surrounding area too.
Mon Aug 20 2018Beautiful area with fascinating history, but not very peaceful due to the crowds. As with most Iceland points of interest, recommend going early to beat the tourist crowds.
Fri Aug 03 2018easy walk with more to see than the waterfall
Thu Jun 28 2018Easy walk down through a fissure to beautiful canyon (lots of tourists)!
Wed Mar 14 2018This waterfall is great! Looks like something from another planet.
Wed Nov 15 2017Great scenery and some interesting Icelandic history to learn about along the way, but very crowded and the waterfall is underwhelming compared to others in Iceland.
Sun Oct 22 2017well paved trail and beautiful scenery nice easy hike
Sun Oct 08 2017It was a decent view, pretty crowded but that's to be expected. Definitely a good spot to bring the family if you want to go for a little hike but not spend too much energy on it.
Sun May 07 2017Its difficult to not give this 5 stars yet when I compare this to some of the other breath taking falls here in Iceland I must say that this one is not as spectacular as Skogafoss. The trail is easy but not strollerable, have alot of storge space available on your camera or phone because I took probably 50 pics here. Well around the whole Thingvellir National park area anyways.
Mon May 01 2017Quick little walk to the awesome waterfall. Worth stopping and checking it out.
Sat Apr 22 2017Easy but pretty hike. A bit of a different experience from my usual New England hikes.
