Making your way through the rural countryside of East Iceland, we travel along the beautiful valley of Jökuldalur and stop at the picturesque Rjúkandi Waterfall before continuing towards Stuðlagil Canyon.
At Stuðlagil, we visit the west side of the canyon, where accessible walking trails and scenic viewing platforms offer spectacular panoramic views over one of Iceland’s most impressive basalt rock formations. From this side, you’ll enjoy breathtaking perspectives of the dramatic columns and the glacial river below — perfect for photography and experiencing the scale of the canyon.
Please note that this tour does not include the hike down into the canyon on the east side.

Itinerary
1
Rjukandi Waterfall

15 minutes

Studlagil canyon
Nestled deep within the remote Icelandic countryside, Stuðlagil Canyon is truly a remarkable destination. On this tour, we visit the west side of the canyon, where scenic walking paths and viewing platforms offer sweeping panoramic views over the dramatic basalt columns and the river below.
Reaching the main viewpoints involves a short walk from the parking area, including uphill and downhill sections as well as a fairly long staircase leading down toward the canyon overlook. The total time spent at Stuðlagil Canyon is approximately 1 hour, giving you ample time to take in the views, explore the platforms and trails.
Most of the summer the water in the river is clear with turquoise colour but in the beginning of August the river changes to grey-ish glacial water.
1 hour and 15 minutes

Vök Baths
After enjoying everything Stuðlagil Canyon has to offer we head to the geothermal oasis of Vök Baths. Vök offers Iceland's first floating pools in Urriðavatn Lake, a large pool with it's own bar, steam bath, cold mist tunnel, quality guest facilities, and restaurant Vök Bistro with a view of the lake and the pools with a menu based on sustainability and local ingredients.
