Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, start from Akureyri, the largest town in North Iceland. Head east on Route 1 (the Ring Road) for about 40 km until you reach the town of Fossholl. Turn onto the local road leading to MFP5+268, which is where Geitafoss is located. Follow that road for approximately 5 km until you reach the parking area near the waterfall. The drive should take about an hour and be sure to watch for road signs directing you to Geitafoss.

Once you arrive in Fossholl, you may need to arrange for a taxi to take you the remaining 5 km to Geitafoss since public transport options may not reach the waterfall directly. Make sure to confirm taxi availability in advance to avoid delays.

Walking

If you are already in Fossholl and prefer to walk, Geitafoss is approximately a 1-hour walk from the town center. Head southeast on local roads leading to MFP5+268, and follow the signs to the waterfall.
