Create an itinerary including Gullfoss Falls
Feel the mist from Gullfoss Falls, a stunning waterfall in southwest Iceland, as you walk right up close to the natural wonder. One of the most visited attractions in the country, the powerful falls plunge in two stages into a narrow crevice of the Hvita river. From afar, the 32 m (105 ft) deep crevice is hidden from sight, so when walking to the falls, you get the impression that the Hvita River just disappears into the ground. Hike along the crevice, which is 2.5 km (1.5 mi) long, and admire the incredible volume of water constantly rushing over the edge. The waterfall, along with Thingvellir and the geysers of Haukadalur, is part of the Golden Circle, which can make a great day tour.

  • This is the waterfall to see and you need to go on both levels and back some to see the many stunning views. The lower level is my favorite. they have a nice gift shop here and restrooms too.

  • One of the most enjoyable falls we’d gone to during our time in Iceland. There are a number of different viewpoints to enjoy the falls from. The sheer size of the falls makes it great from any vantage point, and the sound was phenomenal to listen to. Could have stood here all day!
  • Absolutely gorgeous and grand waterfall. It is so amazing to see it. The walk from the parking lot to the falls is only a short five minutes. A must see in Iceland.
