Gljúfrabúi, or 'Canyon Dweller’, is one of Iceland's finest secrets located on the breathtaking South Coast. Tucked away behind a considerable cliff face overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, a short 10-minute walk from its more famous neighbour, Seljalandsfoss, this 40 metre (131 feet) tall waterfall is truly something special. To appreciate the beauty of Gljufrabui, you must venture into the stream, meandering through a narrow valley before coming across the falls itself. Brightly coloured rainbows cast over the water's spray make this experience truly magical. Be brave and take yourself to discover this hidden gem for an unforgettable and peaceful experience.
