Beautiful falls can be seen from a bridge. The blue is stunning, especially against the snow and ice. If coming in wintry weather, highly recommend crampons as the trail is icy with small inclines.

This is a stunning hidden gem in Iceland! It is unique, with a series of smaller falls and rapids, but it's the mesmerizing turquoise color and surrounding scenery that truly make it magical. It's often called one of the bluest waterfalls in Iceland, and the striking contrast between the vivid blue water and the rugged landscape is breathtaking. The road leading to the waterfall can be quite icy and snow-covered in winter (December), so be sure to drive carefully. There is no fee to visit the waterfall, but there is a parking fee. If you have the Parka app, you can easily pay for parking directly through the app. Perfect for photographers looking for incredible shots. Highly recommend!

Amazingly accessible (path is rough gravel but had a low enough grade w wheelchair user could possibly use it). The new parking lot is wonderful! The road was bumpy to get to it but it was just a short hike to the falls from the lot. Gorgeous blue water, worth braving the cold!

Beautiful waterfall with turquoise color water . Car parking was about $6 and you can pay by app. Short walk to the waterfall and you can spot beautiful birds on the way. Took less than 30 minutes for going back and come back. We stopped by on the way to dinner and it was just perfect.

One of the most beautiful places in Iceland 🇮🇸! After a long drive down a gravel road, you come to a parking lot and you will walk down a gravel path. This is the only place in Iceland that we dealt with a lot of bugs. Once you are too, the falls get ready for one of the most amazing places you’ll ever see. The blue of the water almost looks fake. There’s a bridge you can walk over and you can also walk under it can be muddy, so make sure you have proper shoes. You do need to pay for parking and on the day that we went there was a food truck in the parking lot.

Visiting Brúarfoss was an incredible experience! Tucked away on an off-the-beaten path, it felt like a hidden gem with hardly any tourists around. The vibrant blue water and peaceful surroundings made the short hike completely worth it. A must-visit for nature lovers!

Probably one of the most amazing waterfalls I’ve ever seen! The water is an unreal shade of blue, and the short walk from the new parking lot (which costs $10 per entry) makes it super accessible. If you’re up for a longer hike, the trail along the river is a nice way to take in more of the scenery. You can easily combine this with the traditional Golden Circle tour, making it a perfect stop. Honestly, once you’ve seen Iceland, every other place feels hard to impress you—everything here is just on another level, and Brúarfoss is no exception!
