About this experience
We will visit Thorufoss waterfall, where one of Daenerys’ dragons attacked the local goat in Merren. Later we will drive to Thingvellir National Park, set for many scenes in Game of Thrones featuring the White Walkers. We will have a walk in a gorge in Thingvellir, where the European and the North American tectonic plates are drifting apart. We will also visit the gorge used to film scenes depicting the Bloody gate of the Eyrie, and several scenes with the Wildlings.
The journey will continue to Stöng – the medieval Viking houses. Here you can relive the scene where a quiet farming village, south of the wall, was attacked by Wildlings.
We will visit Háifoss, Iceland's second highest waterfall, and the mysterious Hjalparfoss, as we make our way to Gjáin, a valley with beautiful waterfalls and incredible lava formations.

Itinerary and highlights
Thingvellir is known for the Althing, the site of Iceland’s parliament from the 10th to the 18th century. Thingvellir National Park sits in a rift valley created by the separation of the European and the North American tectonic plates. Here you have the thrill of standing with one foot in Europe and with the other one in America. One of the attractions in the national park is also Silfra Fissure, popular among scuba divers who come here from all over the world the dive in the transparent glacial water.
The waterfall Háifoss is situated near the volcano Hekla in southern Iceland. The river Fossá, a tributary of Þjórsá, drops here from a height of 122 m.
Beautiful, double waterfall
Ruins of original Viking houses
This is a beautiful waterfall featured in Game of Thrones. In the movie, one of Daenerys Targaryen's dragons devours a goat right in the spot from where you can admire the waterfall.
Gjáin is a spectacular valley only accessible with good weather and road conditions. The valley looks like it is part of a fairytale, with its beautiful rocks and waterfalls. In this area, several scenes were shot for Game of Thrones, including some with Arya Stark and the Hound.
