- Stuðlagil Canyon - Tucked away in the remote Icelandic countryside, Stuðlagil Canyon is a truly extraordinary destination. This tour visits the west side of the canyon, where scenic walking paths and viewing platforms provide breathtaking panoramic views of the striking basalt columns and the river below.
Reaching the main viewpoints requires a short walk from the parking area, which includes both uphill and downhill sections, as well as a fairly long staircase leading down to the canyon overlook. The total time spent at Stuðlagil Canyon is approximately 1 hour, allowing plenty of time to enjoy the views, explore the platforms, and wander the trails.
During most of the summer, the river’s water is clear with a turquoise hue, but at the beginning of August, it transforms into a greyish glacial water.
