Visiting Gullfoss Fall With the Golden Circle Tour

A visit to the Gullfoss Waterfall in Iceland is part of the Golden Circle tour. This tour is to be found in South Iceland on the Hvítá river. It is this river which is fed by Iceland´s second biggest glacier, named ‘The Langjökull’.

The fast flowing water from the Gullfoss Fall drops way down 32 meters in two separate free fall stages. The icy water plummets into a rugged canyon in which the canyon walls reach up to 75 meters in height.

On a bright sunlit day at Gullfoss Falls the spray of the waterfall causes a shimmering rainbow to form in the sky over the falls which is an awesome opportunity for amateur photographers.
