Best Gullfoss Tours & Trips
Gullfoss, aka "The Golden Falls," is fed by a glacial river that cascades 105 feet over two tiers to a gorge below where it sends up clouds of magical mist and shimmering rainbows. One of the most popular attractions in Iceland, Gullfoss is on the famous Golden Circle route. The unique shape of the fall's drop makes it appear that the river simply disappears from a distance.

Reviews for Gullfoss Tours
E
The tour leader was great, personable, knowledgeable and flexible where he could be. Weather and the sites were outstanding. I particularly liked that we took in a number of places that were a little more remote and less traveled by tour buses (ie. East Fjords), so the volume of visitors was relatively low. Overall is was a great trip, with outstanding weather, and it provided an excellent overview of Iceland, it's variety of landscapes and unique culture.
