Skip the Golden Circle—Take Iceland's New Arctic Coast Way Instead

"Goðafoss is one of the most epic waterfalls in Iceland. Nicknamed the “waterfall of the Gods,” it’s where the rushing Skjálfandafljót river drops nearly 40 feet across a 98-foot expanse."

The waterfall is gorgeous! We visited the waterfall from both the west or the east side. On the east side, there is a path leading to the river bank and you can enjoy the views there.

Free parking for a magnificent waterfall. Park on the west side (for the best views) and then there is a short walk from the parking area. There are viewing platforms and there’s a staircase to get closer to the waterfall. A souvenir shop and a paid WC (200kr) is located near the west parking lot.

Godafoss waterfall offers an incredibly accessible and awe-inspiring experience. Located a mere 100 meters from the car park, it's effortlessly reached by all. The sheer volume of water cascading over its multi-tiered drops is breathtaking, creating a mesmerizing display of nature's power and beauty. The vibrant blue and white hues of the rushing water against the surrounding landscape are particularly striking. It's an ideal stop for a quick, impactful visit or for those seeking stunning photographic opportunities. Truly a must-see natural wonder in Iceland.

Free car parking here which is a nice change from the paid parking down south. An impressive collection of waterfalls which are very easily accessible from the car park. The falls can be viewed from both sides by crossing the footbridge and there are multiple picnic areas. There’s a cafes there too. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in this neck of Iceland.

Great waterfall - you park your car and it’s a quick walk to all the photo spots. There is a path around the waterfall that you could walk but it’s an amazing site to see.

Stunning waterfall. Very accessible. Car parks on the east and west side for free. Toilets cost 200 krona in the cafe. Even a little hotel next to it. The paths and viewpoints are very accessible even in flip flops but you'd need trainers probably to go down to the beach bit where the best view is. Little bit rocky down there. There's even some picnic benches up top for relaxing

This is a must see if you’re in the area. You do need to be aware that it is packed with humans. I’ve never seen so many tour buses in my life. Worth the wait in the sea of humanity. Spectacular!

A dramatic and stunning semi-circular waterfall right off the highway! The crystal-clear pool below adds to the breathtaking scene. It’s easily accessible with parking nearby, making it a perfect spot for a quick and awe-inspiring stop on your Iceland road trip. Highly recommend this dramatic natural wonder!
