Some places are better in the rain. This waterfall is one of them: the path is slippery, the light is soft and the crowds stay in the car park.

## Getting there

Drive the south coast road from Reykjavik for about two hours. Arrive before nine or after six.

## Where to stay

Farm guesthouses along the coast, most with a hot tub and a view of the glacier.

## What I would do differently

I would bring waterproof trousers. The spray reaches you long before the path does.

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
