    Seljalandsfoss

    Seljalandsfoss is a supremely graceful waterfall fed by the meltwater of the Eyjafjallajokull glacier. This impressive natural wonder falls about 63 meters (205 feet) into the quiet pool below, and there is a hidden trail behind the falls so that you can watch the waterfall from all directions.

    Skogafoss

    Skogafoss, one of Iceland's largest and most elegant waterfalls, is 60 meters (195 feet) high and 25 meters (75 feet) wide. The waterfall generates a lot of spray, which on sunny days often creates a vibrant single or even double rainbow, adding to the charm of Skogafoss Falls. We will be able to walk to the foot of the waterfall and also walk the stairs to the observation deck to see the waterfall from above. After visiting the Skogafoss, we recommend stopping for lunch at the nearby Bistro Bar restaurant.
