The clear blue water is incredibly beautiful and it's just a short walk from the parking area. Although the waterfall isn't very large, the stunning blue water makes it look amazing. If the weather isn't too windy and cold, it's perfect for standing and admiring the beauty for a long time.

For our first waterfall in Iceland this was stunning with its lovely blue water that I was afraid we’d miss as a result of the rain and clouds but it more than exceeded my expectations. Parking is paid via the parka app and it’s a short 5 min walk towards the waterfall where it can be viewed from a bridge and its surrounding area.

Another waterfall but a must see due to how blue the water is flowing. Note that it is roughly 1/2 a mile (.8 KMs) round trip walking from the parking lot to the falls and back and the dangerous warning due to how cold and fast the water is moving!

Unpaved road for 3k but very quiet place with less tourists. Stunning blue waterfalls. Very pretty. 750krona to park

The parking fee is 750ISK via Parka. The parking lot is 1 minute away from the waterfall, so it's zero hike. Maybe it's not the most powerful waterfall in Iceland but the water color is amazing. Drones are allowed.

Amazing blue color! You gotta see this place in person. Once you pull off the paved road, expect about a 1.5km gravel road drive to a paid parking lot. After a short 5 minute walk, you come across the waterfall and bridge. The sun intensifies the blue color of you can catch this place on a sunny day. I highly recommend a visit!

Beautiful waterfalls. Definitely one of our favorites of all the waterfalls in Iceland (and in the world!). So blue! We parked in the parking lot that is right by the waterfalls. Im sure the hike along the river would've been great too, but logistically, this worked out better for us. Pay by Parka. We went during the last week of June. It was overcast with just a tiny bit of sprinkles. It was very buggy. Nothing that stings or bites. But definitely annoying. We had our face/bug nets, which worked out great.

Bruarfoss is a really beautiful waterfall with clear blue water flowing between dark volcanic rocks. The colors create a striking contrast that’s great to see in person and makes for amazing photos. The hike is easy and worth it for the peaceful and less crowded surroundings. A great spot if you want to get away from the usual tourist paths.
