Autumn brings a chill to the air in Iceland, but that only means you’ll want to sit a little closer to your favourite travel mate at stunning viewpoints, like the Kolugljúfur waterfall – pictured above in our new Nordic Photo of the Month.
Thankfully, cold temperatures and changing seasons won’t keep anyone from enjoying Iceland’s abundant waterfalls. There’s seemingly one around every corner, and the most popular ones are easily accessible off the main roads. But there are a few hidden gems among these waterfalls, places that require a little extra legwork. That’s how our winners, Matt and Alexis Booth, found their strikingly beautiful photo spot. As Matt recounted:
“We ended up going to the Kolugljúfur waterfall after my wife found it in the Lonely Planet book for Iceland the night before and thought it was close enough that we should check it out. It was actually nice going to one of the lesser visited waterfalls as we only saw two other people as we were leaving. As far as the trip goes, it was amazing! We were looking for an adventure and Nordic Visitor was able to provide us with a fantastic itinerary and accommodations along the way. We can't wait to come back to Iceland!”
Matt and Alexis celebrated their honeymoon on the winter version of our Iceland Full Circle Tour, a self-drive journey around the 1,332 km Ring Road (Iceland’s main highway).
Good to know: Any of our tour packages can be tailored with special touches for a honeymoon or other special occasions. All you have to do is make a note of it when booking online or mention it to your dedicated Nordic Visitor travel consultant.
Go chasing waterfalls: And some other natural wonders while you’re at it. A self-drive tour is the way to go for anyone interested in landscape or aurora borealis photography. And Nordic Visitor equips you with all the bells and whistles – like a personally annotated road map, free in-car Wi-Fi, our Iceland travel guide, extra brochures and more – so can wander freely in search of the perfect photo without feeling totally lost.
