Ellifoss is located on Landvegur at the coordinates 64.0613209, -19.8309084. Look for parking available at or near the site.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, your best option is to take a bus from Reykjavik. Bus companies like Strætó offer routes to key locations in the Golden Circle. Take a bus from Reykjavik to Geysir, and then transfer to a local bus heading towards Flúðir. Make sure to check the bus schedules, as they may vary throughout the day. Once you arrive in Flúðir, you can either walk to Ellifoss (approximately 5 kilometers) or arrange for a local taxi to take you directly to Landvegur, where Ellifoss is located. Taxi fares in Iceland can be high, so be prepared for additional costs.
