Seljalandsfoss

A picturesque waterfall in Iceland known for its 60-meter drop and path that allows visitors to walk behind the cascading water.

Tips from the community

Day 1: The South Iceland route is a great way to experience a spectrum of Iceland’s natural highlights and spend time enjoying Reykjavik. Start with the magnificent Seljalandsfoss, the 65-metre waterfall that you can walk behind and to the top of (don’t forget to wear something waterproof!). You can then carry on and stop off at Skogafoss waterfall, walking the 370 steps to the top for immense views. The final stop on your first day is the coolest thing to do in Iceland: walk on a glacier. The Solheimajokull glacier extends from the Myrdalsjokull glacier, forming a cap over the active volcano beneath. If you have extra time, you can visit the abandoned US Navy aeroplane on Solheimasandur for some awesome pictures. Days 2-3: Hit the Golden Circle route mentioned above, although many people add on some extras here like Kerid Crater Lake and The Secret Lagoon. Days 4-5: After exploring these immense natural wonders, you’ll end up back in the city where you can grab a hot dog, visit some of the local attractions, like The Blue Lagoon, or visit the famous Hallgrimskirkja church.
