This is worth the drive out to these lava waterfalls. Very interesting to see water coming right out of the lava. Nice parking lot and paths to walk on to get nice photos! Even a bridge you can cross to look straight down at all this flowing water. Should not miss this place!

You cannot see these waterfalls from close distance; however, you can be overlooking all the waterfalls from a platform. It is pretty impressive view and not that many people go there, so I recommend you to stop by.

Beautiful and amazing to see! Easy walkable path from parking lot. Barnafoss is the same area and the path will take you there.

A truly unique kind of falls. More of a seep - high powered. Easy to get to and a short walk from the parking lot, if you are exploring West Iceland, this is a must go on your list. Figure about an hour.

These falls are definitely in the top ten to see. What makes them even more amazing is the back drop of snow and the ice. The colour of the water was the iciest blue I have ever seen. Despite the cold winds you could stand and watch them for hours. Worth a visit any time of year.

We’ve seen many waterfalls all over but we were stunned by the view of this gorgeous series of falls along a long stretch of the river. Definitely a must see place.

Hraunfossar is actually a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming out of a lava field. We visited it in late October and the place all around was slightly covered by snow and ice. It was absolutely spectacular and the access to it is easy (there is a pathway leading to it from a free parking lot).

As waterfalls go, this place is a must. There are various impressive viewpoints to gaze upon this sprawling and majestic series of waterfalls. We had visited a number of average sites throughout the day and felt that maybe we were tapped out as far as beautiful nature visits are concerned. However, our visit here changed all that. I loved how big this place was and it had many elements to it which I also appreciated. I highly recommend visiting this place in Western Iceland. So incredible !

Water comes straight out of the lava rock rather than a river, so it is unique. You get a good look at the river before hiking a short distance to beautiful little Barnafoss. It is near Reykholt and easy to find.
