Description:
Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, dropping 60 meters (197 ft) in a narrow stream from the cliffs along the South Coast. What makes it unique is the walking path that takes you behind the curtain of water, offering a magical perspective and unforgettable photos — especially at sunset when the light glows through the falls. The area is well-marked, with viewing paths and access to nearby Gljúfrabúi, another hidden waterfall just a short walk away. Be prepared to get wet from the mist and wear sturdy shoes, as the path behind the waterfall can be slippery.

Price:
Visiting Seljalandsfoss is free, but parking at the site costs about 700 ISK ($5 USD). Guided South Coast tours that include Seljalandsfoss typically cost $100–150 USD per person.

⚠️ Caution: The path behind the waterfall is closed in winter due to dangerous ice buildup. You can still view and photograph the falls from the front, but do not attempt to walk behind it in icy conditions.
