If you are travelling in the East of Iceland, enjoy this day trip in the valley of Jökuldalur and visit the Rjúkandi waterfall and Stuðlagil Canyon, a truly remarkable spot. The canyon is one of the largest and most beautiful basalt rock formations in Iceland and has extremely photogenic scenery. On the east side of Jökulsá River, you will go on an easy 30-minute walk to the gorge of the canyon. Total time at Stuðlagil Canyon is about 2-3 hours which gives plenty of time to explore and enjoy the scenery along with snacks and drinks. 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.
End your day of exploring with a bath in the geothermal oasis of Vök Baths. Included are Iceland's first floating pools, 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 pools and a menu based on sustainability and local ingredients.
This day-long adventure promises to be a harmonious blend of exploration, awe, and relaxation - a truly immersive experience that will linger in your memories for years to come.
Only available if you book an Egilsstadir (Fly & drive or Flights and Hotel) package of minimum 2 nights.
