Trip to Iceland Post #10: Godafoss Waterfall

Following our wonderful whale watching experience, we took a drive to the Godafoss Waterfall, which isn't too far from Akureyri, Iceland. Another beautiful waterfall that is well worth the visit, even if you have a 2 hour drive back home as we did.

This isn't the tallest waterfall in Iceland, but there's a tremendous amount of water falling over the edge. There's parking on both sides of the waterfall, but if you go to the side that has more parking (side away from Akureyri), there are pathways that take you to the bottom. You can't walk behind the falls, but you can get close and when you do there are some amazing photo opportunities.

This waterfall was quite a drive for us and made for a very long day, but again, well worth the drive and long day. The falls are simply amazing. The pictures don't do this justice. You really have to be there experiencing the falls to get the full effect of their beauty.
