Waterfall Locations in Iceland
43 curated GPS coordinates
Plan an Iceland waterfall photography itinerary with GPS coordinates for famous stops like Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Dettifoss, Godafoss, Gullfoss, and Dynjandi, plus smaller cascades that are easy to miss while driving. The waterfall map is built for real route planning. Use the waypoint notes to compare access, seasonality, required vehicle type, and distance from Reykjavik before choosing sunrise, sunset, or bad-weather backup locations.
South Coast waypoints cluster within a tight driving radius of Vik and Hella, so a single day can string together five or six cascades if the light cooperates. Westfjords and North Iceland stops trade density for solitude — Dynjandi, Hengifoss, and Aldeyjarfoss reward photographers who plan longer transit windows and accept changeable summer weather.

Before you buy
- Hundreds of named waterfalls across every region, from the famous ones (Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Dettifoss, Goðafoss) to dozens of hidden cascades that aren't in guidebooks.
- Coordinates drop you at the photographer's vantage point. Where parking is separate, the access notes tell you how to reach the viewpoint on foot.
- Yes. Use the GPS points, distance from Reykjavik, season notes, and access fields to group nearby waterfalls into practical Ring Road, South Coast, North Iceland, or Westfjords shooting days.
- Every map ships in all three formats so you don't have to choose. Use GPX for Gaia GPS, Garmin, or most outdoor apps. Use KML for Google Maps and Google Earth. Use GeoJSON for custom tooling or web maps.

- We have step-by-step guides for Google Maps, Google Earth, and Gaia GPS. Most imports take under two minutes.
- Yes — pay once and download the files immediately. There's no subscription. If we add new locations to the category later, existing buyers can reach out for the updated file.
