This stunning waterfall can be seen from the roadway but it's best seen from behind the powerful spray. An easily navigated trail leads to the cavern behind the falls allowing you to stand within the waterfall itself while only getting minimally wet.

Located about an hour and a half outside of Reykjavik, Seljalandfoss is one of the most amazing waterfalls in Iceland. Make sure to walk up behind the waterfall for some incredible views!

Right off the main highway, this is a must see. You will have to pay for parking, but it’s not bad. There are two paths to take: one up to a platform on the left or to the right and hike back behind the fall. If you go behind, prepare to get wet. Especially on a windy day.

Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland’s most visited and photographed waterfalls. The water flows from the melting ice caps of the volcano Eyjafjallajökull and cascades over a steep cliff. This making it possible to walk behind it which provides a truly unique experience unlike any other waterfall in Iceland. There is a footpath that brings you around the waterfall, but be careful as it can get slippery due to the spray from the waterfall. You’ll most likely get wet so we recommend bringing along a raincoat. Also, don’t forget to bring along covers for your electronic devices like cameras as they will most likely get wet too. Despite the crowds, we particularly enjoyed this unique experience being behind a waterfall. It’s not every day that you get to stand behind a majestic waterfall and get such a unique viewpoint. Seljalandsfoss is located right by Route 1 about two hours from Reykjavik which makes it a popular place to visit. Parking is available at the carpark right by the waterfall although you might expect to have to wait for a spot.
