When I was at Haufoss, there were no busses. They have a very hard time making the trip. I saw a motorcycle, helicopter, numerous rugged cars, but no busses. I even saw local guides in 4wd cars ferrying people from their street cars from an area a few miles away. That is an option, but the best option is to rent a capable car and drive yourself.

From Stong it is about a 20km hike to the top of Haifoss - a big ask. However, there is a walk to the base of the falls from Stong, following the river upstream up the valley, about 10km.

From Hotel Gullfoss it took us about 2 hours. It's a very winding road in the higher parts so speed is not a factor.

if you'll get haifoss with 4x4 you won't any problem. don't worry. in august we will get it with ford focus :)

We just drove this today...there are a lot of really large rocks and big pot holes on the road and it's not a short drive either (I'd say about 15-20 minute drive). If it is wet or raining, I don't think you could get up there in a car. Also ground clearance is kind of important in a couple spots. If it's dry (as dry as possible for Iceland), then you could try in a car if you go REALLY SLOW and be VERY careful. It's not a dangerous drive but you could find yourself stranded if your car can't make it. I would get a 4x4 bc right next to Haifoss (you'll see a sign pointing towards it when the road comes to a T), you can go to Gjian which is well worth it as well! GOOD LUCK!!!

hi! 9km! i suggest you to use car...don't worry about the road...if you are gonna skip the holes you will get the waterfall...

ho appunto scritto che non serve un 4x4 per andare su. vai tranquillo. con la focus ci riesci. prenderai qualche pacca sotto la macchina ma se dribbli qualche buca ce la fai...in ogni caso al massimo lasci la macchina da parte e vai a piedi. sono 9 km dalla strada principale ma volere potere...noi l'abbiamo fatto con la macchina senza stare a contare le buche :)

no problem 4x4 and also no problem with ford focus in august... enjoy! ;)
