Gljúfrabúi - the hidden waterfall most South Coast tours miss. Concealed inside a narrow rock canyon, accessible only by stepping through a gap in the cliff. Just minutes from Seljalandsfoss, visited by a fraction of the people who pass by.
Walk behind Seljalandsfoss. One of the rare places in the world where a path leads directly behind the falling curtain of water.
One flat price for 1 to 8 passengers. Solo, couple, or a family of eight - the price is the same and the vehicle is exclusively yours.
Entirely private - no shared passengers. Your guide, your vehicle, your pace. The itinerary adapts entirely to your group.

5.00Oscar was excellent from start to finish. He took pictures of us at every stop. He went above and beyond for us. He told us about the trolls and the myths from certain locations. And made sure we were all happy and comfortable.
The best tour of Iceland 🙌🏾
