Canyon baths at Husafell

A hidden gem in Husafell

Enjoy a relaxed walk among natural wonders not found in many guidebooks, including the spectacular two-tiered waterfall Langifoss. 

You will also learn about Iceland’s renewable energy practices, cross an icy stream of glacial meltwater. The highlight of this excursion is a serene soak in Giljaböð Canyon Baths, a surreal hot spring paradise that has to be seen to be believed.

Experience the serene beauty of the Húsafell Canyon Baths, a stunning hike through the remote Icelandic wilderness that concludes with a soothing geothermal soak in pools nestled within a magnificent highland canyon. 

Begin your adventure with a short ride from the Húsafell Activity Centre, followed by a relaxed walk through surreal landscapes that include the breathtaking two-tiered Langifoss waterfall and the site of Okjökull, Iceland's first glacier claimed by climate change.

The highlight of this tour is undoubtedly the Canyon Baths themselves. Choose between two geothermal pools with temperatures ranging from 30-41°C (86-105°F), each offering spectacular views of the surrounding canyon, mountains, and glaciers. 

The Húsafell locals have designed these baths using environmentally sustainable practices, incorporating local materials like flagstone from the canyon floor and repurposed timbers from nearby areas, making the entire experience authentically Icelandic.

Enjoy an hour of pure relaxation in this surreal hot spring paradise, where you can recharge and breathe in the crisp Icelandic air before returning to Hotel Húsafell. Private tours are also available for those seeking a more exclusive experience. 

Please note, the tour’s availability can be affected by weather conditions, so plan accordingly to ensure the best experience.
