We visited this spot twice - mostly because we passed it three times. The first time was one of those days when the wind tore at the falls and scattered the falls across the face of the rock. That made going behind the falls a damp experience. It was impressive and always fun to see the back side of a... More

Seljalandsfoss is one of the most popular and most visited waterfalls in Iceland. We visited on our South Coast Tour with Iceland Guided Tours. It's not the biggest or most powerful waterfall in Iceland, but it is somewhat unique in that there is a trail leading behind the waterfall and you can walk all the way around it and take... More

what can you say about Seljalandsfoss that hasnt already been written...Not much I would suggest. this is a spectacular waterfall not because of the volume of water like its cousin Skógafoss but simply because of the majesty of the falls and its beauty.. Oh and because you can walk behind it and look through the water to the countryside beyond.... More

Stunning waterfalls, worth the hike. This waterfalls is in the southern part of Iceland, on the ring road between Hvolsvöllur and Skógar directly at the junction of the trail toward Þórsmörk . There are stairs all the way which leads to a cave behind the waterfalls and you can come out from the other side. I forgot my wet gear... More

Such a wonderful place! You can walk behind the waterfall, which completely adds to the experience of it all. It costs you nothing to see it, the paths are nice and make a loop around the waterfall. A must see for Iceland!

Our hotel concierge suggested that we stop to see this beautiful falls. My husband was able to hike up almost all the way around the falls for a beautiful shot; it was a bit too slippery for my taste. Well worth the (very) short drive off the highway. And the bathrooms were very clean :)

Great waterfall, brilliant to be able to walk behind the flow and really get a sense of the flow. Don't worry too much about the doom laden warnings about the path in winter, we were there in Feb on an intermittently snowy day and it caused no issue....it should be noted that I can fall over on a flat dry...

I almost wanted to give this a 3 circle rating because it really doesn't rank highly for me in comparison to the many other falls we saw along our ring road tour. But, I took a minute to realize that if this waterfall was anywhere else it would be spectacular. It is really beauitful and easy to photograph. What makes... More

Seljalandsfoss is a stunning waterfall and is located within sight of the Ring Road and is easily accessible by car. It is hard to miss as it was floodlit when we arrived around dawn. It is possible to walk behind the falls although when we visited in December the spray from the falls had frozen into thick ice making it... More
