The Beautiful Waterfalls Of South-Iceland - Seljalandsfoss Waterfall

Seljalandsfoss is one of the best known waterfalls in Iceland. It is 65 meters high according to the National Land Survey of Iceland and it is breathtakingly beautiful. It is a must visiting Seljalandsfoss when visiting the south-coast, you will not regret it!

A path leads you behind the waterfall, but do bring a raincoat as you will get soaking wet from the drizzle. It is awesome walking behind Seljalandsfoss, especially on a sunny day when one can catch a rainbow.

Flash is needed for photos behind the waterfall if you don't want to come out looking like a silhouette against the waterfall.

In winter time the path is closed when it gets too slippery and dangerous to walk behind the waterfall. In September 2017 it had rained so much that 100 kg heavy boulders fell from above onto the path. This is nature after all, so let's be careful here.

Seljalandsfoss is not far from Reykjavík, only ca 120 kilometres, so you can take a day trip south iceland accommodation Coast Tour and waterfalls and visit Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss and return back to Reykjavík on the same day.

We actually have something like 140 tours to this area from Reykjavík, so do check them out :)
