The Grapevine's take

Glymur

If you want a hike to brag about, try Glymur. Iceland’s second-tallest waterfall, Glymur plummets an impressive 198m, and it is a real gem of the oft-overlooked or bypassed entirely Hvalfjörður. Be warned, though—it’s no stroll in the park. The hike is a four-hour round trip on uneven terrain, and crossing a stream. Sturdy hiking boots and a decent level of physical fitness are required, but the payoff is, as our panel puts it, “Breathtaking!” It’s, no doubt, the best hike in West Iceland.

About this tour

This fabulous tour takes us to Glymur waterfall and the spectacular valley of Thingvellir, Iceland’s historic parliament site. Magnificently revealed from the air, this unique site bears witness to the tearing apart of the Americas and European tectonic plates and the immense geological forces which have formed Iceland over millennia. Other highlights include geothermal springs, power plants, lava fields and a flight over Reykjavik.
