Hiking in Iceland EP 8: The Haifoss Hike & the Hidden Gorge no one goes to

Most people visiting Haifoss will stop by the main viewpoint. Some will hike down at the foot of the waterfall. Almost no one will venture into the amazing gorge right next to it.
Here's how to get there and the full hike report of the hike on:

Thanks for the visit!

Was here just one week ago. Definitely worth the drive and hike. My joint favourite Waterfall alongside Dynjandi ❤️🇮🇸

[@thephotohikes]

Glad you made it, yes one of my favorites too

I have visited Iceland twice. I tried to visit Haifoss during my second trip to Iceland but could not see the waterfall because of the very low visibility. I have to go back to Iceland in the future.

That's what I also tell myself each time I come back from Iceland...I have to go back :) Seriously, hope you can catch it next time you visit! In the meantime, happy holidays!

The road to Haifoss is not marked and my GPS directed us on a very rough road that scared us. we were not alone because other drivers also were confused how to reach Haifoss. So we never got there, a pity.

[@thephotohikes]

Thanks for the comment, Tom. It's an unmarked track indeed. I haven't been there in a couple of years now. Since then the road likely deteriorated even further due to traffic.

[@welshlad6427]

Have visited Iceland 5 times and it's an absolutely beautiful country with stunning scenery. I've travelled the ring road and seen many of what the country offers. However I've never been to Haifoss. I tried on my last visit but the road was too difficult in the car I hired. Hopefully one day I will get to see it as it looks a stunning area. Grey vlog mate ❤

[@thephotohikes]

It really a stunning area, hope you can make it there one day! thanks for the visit mate!

[@welshlad6427]

You have to visit Haifoss and also Gjain which is nearby. Yes the road can be tough so always recommend a 4x4 if wanting to do this.

How long did it take you to get down? Difficult hike ?

[@thephotohikes]

About 40 minutes. Not a difficult one, and it is marked - thought there is loose gravel in places so it can be a bit slippery, especially when wet. Best to have a waterproof jacket when passing by Haifoss it’s like raining down there :)!

[@ugosenatore]

Is it possible to get there in october?

[@thephotohikes]

Hi Ugo - normally it should be possible in early October, unless the weather is particularly bad. Late in October, it may be a bit of a gamble since the road is not serviced.

[@jessevandalen9086]

Which time of the year was this?

[@thephotohikes]

This was early August
