When in Iceland, all you need to do is close your eyes, spin around in a circle, and walk for a bit to stumble upon a cascade of water and mist that would be at home in any issue of National Geographic. The water cycle is not just a natural phenomenon here \u2014 it\u2019s a visual spectacle, one that feels inherent to the existence of this uniquely beautiful country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, of course, this begs the question: which Iceland waterfalls should be on your \u201cmust-see\u201d list? Well\u2026 that\u2019s a tough one. Some are big, some are small, some are surrounded by beautiful scenery, some sit in lonesome, stark locations \u2014 you get the idea. Everyone has their own preferences. Still, if you\u2019re looking to brush off TLC\u2019s advice and go chasing waterfalls, we\u2019ve got a few in mind that should satisfy even the pickiest sightseer. Here are 11 incredible Iceland waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/2\/embed?mid=1BjuyJlAVv3fIFckmCRAXIHQs_Ip9gBU&amp;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"dynjandi\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dynjandi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Isolated, moody, and quiet, the Westfjords region of Iceland is one that many travelers skip out on. You have to take a detour off of the Ring Road to get there, and many of the sights require a fair amount of driving to get to. This isn\u2019t to say that the Westfjords aren\u2019t worth visiting \u2014 in fact, it\u2019s quite the opposite. The intensity and mysterious feel of this corner of the country is amplified by the comparative lack of crowds, and its stark beauty is best seen by a visit to Dynjandi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone has their favorite, but we\u2019re going to go out on a limb and suggest that Dynjandi might be the most stunning waterfall in all of Iceland. Yeah, we said it! At 330 feet, it\u2019s the largest waterfall in all of the Westfjords, but more important is its unique visual appearance. Water snakes over a series of ledges, creating a spiderweb pattern with an unbelievable level of detail. Fine mist from the falls creates a hazy fog around the area \u2014 catch it on a cloudy day and its beauty is nearly ghostly. With a delicate fjord in the distance only adding to the ambience, Dynjandi is an absolute must-see. Oh, and did we mention that there are five smaller waterfalls that you pass on the short hike up to Dynjandi? Talk about bang for your buck\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CjFTTdvrqGv\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

But the hill itself is only half the story. Part of what makes this spot on the Sn\u00e6fellsnes peninsula so special is Kirkjufellsfoss, the waterfall that sits conveniently near Kirkjufell. Together, they make an absolutely classic destination\u2026 and a perfect spot to snap some pics for Instagram.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of size alone, Kirkjufellsfoss isn\u2019t that notable. In fact, if you solely look at the waterfall itself, it doesn\u2019t really stand out from the thousands of others in Iceland. But it\u2019s the context that makes it so special: the mossy landscape that glows with eons of growth, the quaint bridge that crosses over the top of the falls, and the views of Kirkjufell and the sea in the distance. In a way, it\u2019s a location that seems to capture the essence of Iceland: water and land combining to create a paradisiacal scene that suggests subtle, ancient power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CkLY4YjDU4G\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Dettifoss is often called the most powerful waterfall in Iceland, and it\u2019s easy to see \u2014 and feel \u2014 why. Any visitor to the falls is bound to get drenched in mist within just a few minutes! Even if you stand far away from the falls themselves, the sheer power of the water will likely leave you soaked. Remember to bring a rain jacket or a poncho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dettifoss is found in northern Iceland, just about 45 minutes off of the Ring Road. Although its height of 144 feet means that it\u2019s not the tallest around, a width of about 330 feet makes it feel truly gargantuan. A short and sweet hike leads to a viewpoint that lets you look down into the canyon where the water plummets to, offering an unbelievable sense of scale. Additionally, Dettifoss\u2019 location on the popular Diamond Circle route means that you can easily visit other nearby attractions like \u00c1sbyrgi and Dimmuborgir while you\u2019re in the area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"683\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABAAAAAKrAQMAAABV2G3XAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAGxJREFUeNrtwTEBAAAAwqD1T20MH6AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOBtYOgAB23VbnQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\"  alt=\"Dettifoss waterfall\"  class=\"wp-image-9003 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/richard-dorran-JFW-P9IMgxo-unsplash-min.jpg 1500w\" ><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@dozza88\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Richard Dorran<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/JFW-P9IMgxo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rjukandafoss\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rjukandafoss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two kinds of Iceland waterfalls. The first is the kind that you need to search out, hike to, and work for. The second is the kind that just seems to magically appear in front of you, a perfect cascade of water tracing its way through the hills. Rjukandafoss firmly falls into that second camp. Just a short ways off the Ring Road near Egilssta\u00f0ir, this waterfall has an easy, natural grace to it that makes it a worthy stop on any Icelandic road trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Rjukandafoss is nearly roadside, it receives very few visitors. You can enjoy a real moment of tranquility while staring up at it as it drops over 300 feet down to the river below. The hilly nature of the surrounding environment means that there are a few other falls in the other area as well, so it\u2019s definitely worth walking around and exploring a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CaZfxQEszhL\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Each with its own distinct appearance, these two eastern Iceland waterfalls are certainly worth the uphill trek! There\u2019s also a lot of mythology based on the area surrounding these two falls \u2014 the nearby lake, Lagarflj\u00f3t, is said to contain Loch Ness Monster-style creatures. It\u2019s definitely a compelling spot for anyone traveling in Iceland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Litlanesfoss, invisible from the road, is close to 100 feet tall and pours out of a bowl of rock ringed by impressive columns formed by basalt. The contrast between the soft abstraction of the water and the geometric exactness of the columns is a sight to behold! Walk a bit further up through the grassy hills and you\u2019ll find Hengifoss, one of Iceland\u2019s tallest falls at more than 400 feet. It sits in the back of a canyon and offers an incredible view for those who make it all the way up the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CjAmR3nLoo7\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

One of the true jewels of the Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park, Svartifoss is another spectacular waterfall that spills over a wall of basalt columns in the manner of Hengifoss. It\u2019s surrounded by lush growth, a rarity in Iceland, and can be easily accessed with a well-maintained hiking trail thanks to the national park workers. You\u2019ll also pass along several other falls along the way, including the popular Hundafoss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting Svartifoss is also a great way to see the unbelievable landscape of Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park. From the trail to the falls, you\u2019ll be able to see the mountains that rise above you, each capped with ice from the gargantuan Vatnaj\u00f6kull glacier. It\u2019s a quintessential Icelandic environment that\u2019s beautiful across all seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ci3Q7nTrwDi\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

This canyon in the south of the country looks like it came straight out of a fairytale, with vibrant green moss coating the surface of the cliff walls and a gentle river crawling through the gorge. Fja\u00f0r\u00e1rglj\u00fafur has many claims to fame, but one of our favorite aspects of this natural wonderland is M\u00f6g\u00e1foss, a waterfall that can be seen with a short hike along the lip of the canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most striking things about M\u00f6g\u00e1foss is the unique geology that allows the falls to exist. Rather than tumbling blindly off the edge of a cliff, the water slowly slides down a series of more gentle slopes. It\u2019s like a massive water slide created by Mother Nature herself. You probably wouldn\u2019t want to slide down it yourself (and we doubt it would be allowed), but it\u2019s still a sight to behold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"683\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABAAAAAKrAQMAAABV2G3XAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAGxJREFUeNrtwTEBAAAAwqD1T20MH6AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOBtYOgAB23VbnQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\"  alt=\"M\u00f6g\u00e1foss in Fja\u00f0r\u00e1rglj\u00fafur\"  class=\"wp-image-9004 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/kristian-ranstrom-IkaBLZAsTDY-unsplash-min.jpg 1500w\" ><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@redapollos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kristian Ranstrom<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/IkaBLZAsTDY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"skogafoss\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skogafoss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TV shows, movies, promotional drone videos that play as your computer\u2019s screensaver when you leave it on for too long \u2014 Skogafoss can be seen everywhere. There\u2019s a good reason, and that\u2019s mainly because it\u2019s laughably beautiful. It\u2019s the kind of thing you stumble upon in nature that seems too good to be true, too picturesque to exist outside of the realm of pictures. Yet it is indeed real. Found in the quaint village of Skogar, Skogafoss\u2019 fine mist and perfect plumes of water draw in visitors from all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the stats, it\u2019s easy to see why Skogafoss is so popular compared to other Iceland waterfalls. It drops about 200 feet, is more than 80 feet, and is only about two hours outside of Reykjav\u00edk. But, somehow, that\u2019s not all. The waterfall is accompanied by a metal staircase that allows you to walk from the bottom to the top, letting you view it from any angle you choose. It also serves as one of the endpoints of the Fimmv\u00f6r\u00f0uh\u00e1ls trek, a famous hike that links up with the even more renowned Laugavegur trail. If it\u2019s not already there, a backpacking trip either beginning or ending at Skogafoss definitely deserves a place on your travel bucket list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CisnaXxriqg\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

It has a drop of nearly 200 feet and a picturesque setting in the plains of south Iceland, and that alone makes it deserving of a spot on this list. But the main factor that sets Seljalandsfoss apart from the other falls in Iceland is that you can walk <em>behind <\/em>it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind Seljalandsfoss is a small, mossy cavern, and a walking trail goes right through it. This allows you to see the falls from every angle possible, including peering through the curtain of water out towards the landscape in the distance. It\u2019s an incredibly unique visual experience, but just make sure to bring along some waterproof gear. You get pretty close to the falls, and you\u2019ll want to hang around for a bit to get the perfect picture before heading back to the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CjGIJG9D9gU\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Heated by geothermal energy tucked away under the surface of the Earth, the river has all the qualities of an excellent hot spring \u2014 in fact, the different areas of the river even feature different temperatures, so you can adjust the warmth whenever your mood shifts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the river itself isn\u2019t all there is to the magic of the Reykjadalur Valley. The vibrant, hilly landscape is a sight to behold, but it also naturally creates beautiful, subtle waterfalls in the area. Dj\u00fapagilsfoss is one of them, and it\u2019s visible as you hike towards the river for a quick soak. Although it may not be the main draw of the area, it\u2019s a nice appetizer before the main course, so to speak.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"683\"  height=\"1024\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAqsAAAQAAQMAAAD83oKlAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAG1JREFUeNrtwTEBAAAAwqD1T20JT6AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHgaXA8AAaOSslwAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Dj\u00fapagilsfoss in the Reykjadalur Valley\"  class=\"wp-image-9010 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-683x1024.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-110x165.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-380x570.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-255x383.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-550x825.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1-1160x1740.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/nuno-antunes-vTSsgf_hUvY-unsplash-min-1.jpg 1500w\" ><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@onun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nuno Antunes<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/vTSsgf_hUvY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"gullfoss\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gullfoss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is it, folks: the most visited and most popular of all the Iceland waterfalls. Okay, we don\u2019t really have any stats to back that up, but it\u2019s probably true. Gullfoss is utterly iconic, and nearly everyone who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/why-travel-to-iceland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">travels to Iceland<\/a> makes a stop at it. As part of the world-renowned Golden Circle circuit along with Thingvellir and the geysers of Haukadalur. It\u2019s close to Reykjav\u00edk, just a short walk from the road, and generally absolutely crowded with people.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do the crowds make Gullfoss a dud? Absolutely not. Sure, you may accidentally photobomb a few unsuspecting families\u2019 photos, but the waterfall is so intense and powerful that you just need to see it if you have the chance. With multiple drops, a crazy average width of nearly 600 feet, and a spray to rival Niagara, Gullfoss is a ton of fun to visit. Don your poncho, snap some pics, and enjoy this Icelandic gem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"768\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABAAAAAMAAQMAAACAdIdOAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAHZJREFUeNrtwQEBAAAAgiD\/r25IQAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO8Ggw8AAeUA3VQAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Gullfoss\"  class=\"wp-image-9011 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-1024x768.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-110x83.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-255x191.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min-1160x870.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/joey-clover-EKS9eyla3VY-unsplash-min.jpg 1500w\" ><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@joeyclover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joey Clover<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/EKS9eyla3VY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">About TourHero<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TourHero is a social travel platform that enables you to travel with like-minded people and fall in love with the journey.
