Stuðlagil

Choose the appropriate bank to explore the basalt-column canyon.

Stuðlagil’s east-bank hike and west-bank viewing platform offer different visits, so confirm the entrance first. The basalt columns define the canyon; water colour and level vary.

Turquoise water in photographs is not guaranteed. Do not swim in the river. Follow local trail, parking and closure arrangements, and keep away from slippery edges.
