Stuðlagil Canyon Express & Vök Baths - Shore Excursion

We will start the tour by driving to Rjúkandi Waterfall in Jökuldalur Valley, where we'll make a short stop and take an easy and accessible walk up to the waterfall. From there we will make our way to Stuðlagil Canyon.

Nestled deep within the remote Icelandic countryside, Stuðlagil Canyon is truly a remarkable destination. On this tour, we visit the west side of the canyon, where scenic walking paths and viewing platforms offer sweeping panoramic views over the dramatic basalt columns and the river below. Reaching the main viewpoints involves a short walk from the parking area, including uphill and downhill sections as well as a fairly long staircase leading down toward the canyon overlook. The total time spent at Stuðlagil Canyon is approximately 1 hour, giving you ample time to take in the views, explore the platforms and trails. Most of the summer the water in the river is clear with turquoise colour but in the beginning of August the river changes to grey-ish glacial water.

Vök offers Iceland's first floating pools in Urriðavatn Lake, a large pool with it's own bar, steam bath, cold mist tunnel, quality guest facilities, and restaurant Vök Bistro with a view of the lake and the pools with a menu based on sustainability and local ingredients.
