"💦 Seljalandsfoss is one of the most incredible waterfalls in Iceland, which puts it at the top of the list for all South Coast tours. 🤩 The goal is to arrive close to sunset and after all the tour buses had left. 🚶It's a short walk up from the parking lot to the waterfall. 💦 Don't miss walking behind the waterfall. ☔️ Be warned; you'll get a wet. 😀 The view from behind is unreal. It feels like you are in a large cave fronted by a waterfall. ☀️ The timing of sunset is tricky in Iceland as it can range from 3:30 pm in the winter to after midnight in June. 📸 PHOTOGRAPHY NOTES: ☀️ Golden hour photos from behind the waterfall are amazing. 🔗 Have provided a link below with timing for sunset. 📸 My pictures were taken around 11:30 pm in July. ☀️ If you're visiting in the summer and the sunset is quite late, I recommend having dinner in Vik before driving to Seljalandfoss. ⏰ HOURS: Always open!

"Next day I did a 2 day excursion titled “2 day tour - Blue Ice Cave, Jökulsarlon, Waterfalls & more”. This excursion was hosted and operated by Nicetravel. When booking, this excursion there are two options to accommodate the overnight stay. When booking, you had the option to stay in a guesthouse or the option to stay in a hotel for the night. I’m not sure why it had two options because I chose guesthouse stay, which consisted of a private room with shared bathroom. But once we got to the guesthouse all the rooms had their own bathrooms, so it felt like a hotel stay. Beginning of the excursion, we set out to the east region of Iceland where bulk of this excursion took place. First stop on the excursion was two very scenic waterfalls located in Seljalandstoss. These waterfalls were very unique in how different they look just a few 100 feet away. "
