    Part of the golden triangle tour, but would certainly visit this separately given the chance. Amazing view from every angle ... Bitterly cold but give some amazing pictures

    Very beautiful falls, lots of water and one can get close if willing to walk. Ware waterproof clothing.

    This was part of my tour of the golden circle, and what a treat it was to eat lunch looking over the waterfall with a glacier behind us. It's no wonder it was packed when we visited because it's such a beautiful location and a must-see on the golden circle tour.

    One of the greatest waterfalls to witness, this looks like something straight out of a fantasy movie with the great wide river and the deep rifts. We went to see the place super early in the morning around 6-7 AM in order to avoid the tourist buses, and honestly the best decision ever. You really get to actually enjoy the greatness of Mother Nature without the hundreds of selfie sticks and shouting Asians haha.

    A showstopper!! This place is epic, the waterfalls are amazing to look at, the views are the best thing about it. Once you seen the waterfalls, you have to stop in the cafe at the shops and visitor centre the food is there is awesome. Lovely gifts and memorabilia in the shops. In the distance you can see the glaciers, the sheer size of these are amazing !!! Would recommend stopping here 👌

    Spectacular sights to see Specially in winter as the water fall freezes in December, definitely a sight to see for everyone and a great place to get some amazing pictures! There's 2 routes you can take when you arrive up high or down the bottom, only about 50 steps to go down, we did both and it was amazing to see the waterfall from different angles. The coach tour had wifi which made it alot easier

    I was astonished after seeing Gulfoss. Its beautiful. Scary, huge and dramatic. See the pictures yourself, but no picture can do the justice to live experience. The gorge created by the river is beautiful. Site is free to visit. There is ample parking. And a cafe with several food options including vegetarian options. Shops are also nice to buy some souvenirs.

    Out of the dozens waterfalls of Iceland that I’ve seen during my trip to Iceland (out of the thousansds that it has) I found Gullfoss the most spectacular. The shear force of the water is breathtakind and scary at the same time.
