Seljalandsfoss

I arrived here early in the morning for a hike and had the entire waterfall all to myself. It was so cool to experience such a beautiful landmark without the usual crowds. The views were incredible and the atmosphere was very peaceful. It is a must-see spot especially if you can get there early to beat the rush.

This waterfall is worth a visit anytime of the year. And yes, one can walk behind the waterfall. Expect to hear screams of ecstasy and amazement from others—you may find yourself screaming also.

Now THIS is a foss worth seeing. To me, out of the countless fosses you should make this a stop. Preferably when the sun hits the water - its magical. You can also walk under the foss so bring a waterproof jacket + shoes if you want to do that. There's also a small cafe nearby (Faxi Bakery) that serves nice pastries. Overall, great for photos, sightseeing, ambiance and DEFINITELY worth coming here.

This might have been my favorite waterfall stop during our Iceland trip. I loved being able to walk around and under the fall. I felt as if I was able to "get to know the waterfall" more personally than the other waterfalls we visited during our trip. The mist as you approached the waterfall got more and more intense, so definitely bring rainproof attire. The whole experience was exhilarating and memorable.

This waterfall is a must-see; what makes it special is that you can walk behind it. A parking lot is in the immediate vicinity, as well as restrooms, a souvenir shop, and a snack bar.

Amazing waterfall and you can walk behind it (*grab a raincoat). Great view. Also you can go in the right of the waterfall (as you stand with the waterfall behind you) and you'll find another waterfall inside a cave, pretty cool.

Not as beautiful as Gljúfrabúi (the falls a further walk from the same parking lot) but still very nice. We visited in November, so much of the ground was iced over. The walk up behind the falls was being done by almost no one, but I chose to - I don't think it's was worth it. Realistically it was unsafe due to the ice and by the time I came back down my hair and clothes were encased in ice due to the blowing mist from the falls. At least in winter with limited daylight, and for your safety, skip spending significant time on this and continue on to Gljúfrabúi.

Must see - bottom of waterfall views are easy access for all abilities. We climbed to the top and went an additional 2 miles down the trail. Plan for crowds and all types of weather.
