The Godafoss waterfall was amazing to see in person, I highly recommend visiting it! Our guide, Savan(?) was absolutely fantastic! She was very informative and also extremely humorous, which made the bus travel very enjoyable (plus the scenery along the way was beautiful).

very nice for a short tour. we have been before but this waterfall never gets old. Beautiful and worth the time. It is a little walk from the bus to the falls but not too bad. just want to give a heads up to those with mobility issues.
