What To Expect

Seljalandsfoss waterfall

One of Iceland's classic waterfalls, this one has a little twist. Certainly not one of Iceland's biggest waterfalls but what makes Seljalandsfoss different is that most of the year you can actually walk behind the cascading water. This really makes for a unique experience.

30 minutes • Admission Included

Skogafoss

Skogafoss is one of Iceland’s classic waterfalls and truly magnificent. 65 meters tall and 25 meters wide making it also one of the biggest waterfalls in the country. Legend has it that there is a chest of gold hidden behind the waterfall. You’ll have to be as strong as a viking to get to it though.

Suffering as we go and see the glacier, amazing view. Worth the suffering! The waterfalls were beautiful so is the black beach. But the glacier was the main for me✨ Luckily we had a good weather too! Not too cold or windy.
