Waterfall

Seljalandsfoss is one of the most popular and visited waterfalls in Iceland. This stunning cascade is located along the south coast, and it's a popular spot with tourists and tour buses. Almost every south coast tour will make a stop here; as such, it can get pretty busy.

However, if you manage to catch a break from the crowds, this is easily one of the most visually stunning waterfalls in Iceland. It's about 60 meters tall, so it's very impressive and easy to reach, right off the Ring Road. You could spend anywhere between 20 minutes and an hour here.

One of the reasons this waterfall is so popular is that you can walk behind it. The views from behind are quite stunning, and it's become one of the most popular photo spots in Iceland. However, you may end up getting soaked from the mist, so we highly recommend waterproofs!
