We went there around 9am, it was already getting hot but the walk was in the shade so it protected us from the sun. Hike is very easy, it's more like a walk, it takes about 20mins to the waterfall. As we visited in March, there wasn't much water, but it still looked beautiful. The Bat Cave on the way is nicely hidden behind the trees, there were bats sleeping inside. Very pleasant visit!
Very pleasant visit at the waterfall. The walk is short, just 15 mins and you reach the pool. You have to pay to enter, also for the parking if you arrive by a vehicle. There are fish in the water and also a snake but the local worker scares it away so no need to worry.
Awesome stop. One of my favorite stops in Iceland. Was able to climb up down & around the falls. Such great photo options. Started the day with this stop and had a blast.
Inns are hard to find on the trails. Omine Okugake barely goes through any towns as well. Before you choose a provider to help get around and where to stay, make sure you check out the accommodations. Also check out what type of transportion they plan to use for the whole journey.
Several of the pilgrimage trail are difficult and some hard to follow. You should go on the trails with an experienced guide. The Kohechi trail is particuly difficult. The Omine Okugake is another difficult trail due to its high ridges.
It's best to ask locals for directions and go with them/by yourself. They would gladly show you the place, some of them would expect a tip though. Nice waterfall, you can relax in the shade and cool down in the pool.
