Step Behind Seljalandsfoss Waterfall

Start your day at Seljalandsfoss, one of South Iceland’s most well-known waterfalls. A short path leads you behind the falling water, giving you a different perspective from inside the cascade. It’s an easy walk, but you’ll feel the mist and hear the full force of the waterfall up close, so waterproof layers are a good idea.

Enter the Canyon of Gljúfrabúi

Just a short walk away, Gljúfrabúi is partially hidden inside a narrow canyon. To reach it, you’ll step through a small opening and cross a shallow stream, which adds a bit of adventure. Inside, the waterfall is enclosed by moss-covered rock walls, creating a more intimate opportunity to take in the tranquil falls.

Drive to Gígjökull Glacier

From here, the route turns more rugged as you head toward Gígjökull, a glacier tongue extending from Eyjafjallajökull. The Super Jeep allows you to cross rivers and rough terrain that standard vehicles can’t handle. At the glacier, you’ll see how volcanic activity has shaped the ice and surrounding landscape, especially following the 2010 eruption.

Explore Þórsmörk Valley at Básar

The day continues into Þórsmörk valley, a remote highland area surrounded by glaciers and braided rivers. At Básar, you’ll have time to take a short walk, enjoy the views, or simply take in the quiet. This part of the tour offers a different side of Iceland, less visited, more raw, and defined by its dramatic setting between three glaciers.
