Our trip to Iceland was nothing short of magical — a land shaped by fire and ice, where every corner holds a new natural wonder. From roaring waterfalls to steaming geysers and dramatic coastlines, here’s a glimpse of the unforgettable places we explored:
Geysir Geothermal Area
One of Iceland’s most iconic sights! The powerful Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes, sending a tower of boiling water high into the air. A surreal, bubbling landscape that truly reminds you of the earth’s raw power.
Seljalandsfoss
This graceful waterfall is famous for the path that allows you to walk behind the curtain of water — a truly unique perspective. Just be ready to get a little wet! The surrounding landscape is lush and green, making it feel like something out of a fairytale.
Skógafoss
A majestic wall of water, 60 meters high and thunderously powerful. We didn’t climbed the long staircase to the top but i image that view is stunning but both me and Henrik felt that the view from below was stunning enough.
Just nearby, we found Fryea Café, a cozy and magical little spot tucked into the landscape. The coffee, the pastries, the view — perfection.
Brúarfoss
Known for its striking blue water, Brúarfoss is smaller but no less captivating. The icy-blue stream cuts sharply through the black volcanic rock, making it one of the most photogenic waterfalls in Iceland. A peaceful and beautiful spot, a bit off the beaten path.
Dyrhólaey
This coastal headland gave us sweeping views over black sand beaches, dramatic cliffs, and the famous stone arch jutting into the sea. We could have stood there for hours, just watching the waves crash below. A great place for birdwatching, too — puffins love this area!
Kvernufoss – The Hidden Gem
Kvernufoss was such a special experience that it deserves its own blog post — which you can read . Hidden in a quiet canyon, this waterfall felt like our own private discovery.
Each place we visited felt like a postcard brought to life. Iceland is wild, dramatic, and unforgettable — and we’re already dreaming of our next adventure back.
