Attractions in Golden Circle

Gjáin is a hidden oasis in the Thjorsardalur valley — a sheltered ravine filled with small waterfalls, streams, and lush green vegetation. Often compared to a fairy-tale landscape, it remains one of South Iceland's best-kept secrets.

Gullfoss is one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls — a massive two-tiered cascade where the Hvítá river plunges 32 metres into a narrow canyon. Part of the Golden Circle, it combines raw power with dramatic beauty and a compelling conservation story.
