Breathtaking beautiful. An easy stop where you can either take amazing pictures and take a small walk or just stretch your legs. I recommend walking behind the waterfall and take a brief walk to the second waterfall between the rocks. Just as breathtaking as the main one.

We've all got challenges. I'm not gonna say it's the trying not succeeding that counts, cause winning and succeeding are the only things that matters. But trying is a necessary first start. It shows good faith. We're most of us trying to make ourselves better, in whatever form we imagine or in what image resonates with us.

Beautiful! Definitely bring crampons in the winter. The steps to the top of the falls get very dangerous. There's a cave you can walk into and get some great pictures and soaked by the falls. Waterproof and quick drying clothing and shoes is recommended.

Excellent waterfall, not really sure what else needs to be said about this place. The access to the area they gets you the nice red color is closed during the Winter. There are also a number of other less dramatic waterfalls near this one, just to the left. And for this down the trail, is the waterfall in the cave, which is a can't miss

Nice. Many places water was coming down. The wind on this day was great. The biggest issue I had was the slick ground as you turn onto the path to the river. We saw this falls right after seeing a greater waterfalls. It is peaceful here.

Excellent sight. Didn't have the time to walk up the steps to the top of the falls. I expect the experience is even more thrilling in the summer with the extra glacial melt water.

Is amazing that they make you pay for park the car. Iceland is not a cheap country, so moreover they try to take more money from your wallet. Despite this the waterfall is so beautiful, nature, something that should be free to enjoy. The story says that there's a treasure behind it.

A must see for the south coast, can't really miss it to be fair. The car park price was the only concern, about 700Kr (£5) for our visit which was pretty ridiculous to be honest as so many people even on the -15 degree day we visited. The walkways are well maintained and mostly ice free, well done considering there is a waterfall spurting water up into the air all around. A nice little coffee stand next door was a real perk, a hot chocolate hit the spot really well after a walk out in the cold. A must-see, but maybe try nabbing someone's parking ticket for a few 100Kr as they're leaving and you're arriving, presuming the car park price stays!

Apparently everybody have seen it on a nice weather. In winter time - just before the storm is also beautiful. You can't go behind the waterfall which is really pithy but i am happy I could see it

This is an amazing site and a fun adventure behind the falls. Be sure to wear your rain gear and boots as it is very wet and muddy. The hike behind the falls is a bit slippery and can be rough for some who have balance issues or need help climbing steeper terrain. The crowds come in waves with the tour buses so try to time it when the groups are leaving but before the next one arrives.

My favorite waterfall, lots of stairs. Please protect the nature and don't fall in or off. Great views from above or below. plenty of parking. Toilets are nearby. Oh and the J is pronounced like a Y. Enjoy.

A truly amazing experience. Put this on your list of places to visit in Iceland!
The waterfalls sit in a beautiful location at the foot of the very volcano that erupted in 2010 and stopped all flights across Europe.
You can walk behind the largest one, and then take a lovely footpath to see a few smaller ones. There is even one inside a cave (see the attached pictures) that you can get to, if you don't mind venturing across some stepping stones to get to it (trust me, it's well worth it!).
In the car park there's a gift shop and a cafe that serves some food, donuts, cakes, and drinks.
I'd recommend bringing boots and a waterproof jacket though, as it's fairly muddy around the main waterfall and there's A LOT of spray.

This waterfall is amazing. Its one of the smaller ones that we saw while in Iceland but still stunning! Unfortunately the car park you have to pay and my partner attempted to pay 3 times before it actually worked so who knows how many times we actually paid for this car park! HOWEVER, we then walked up and I can tell you now if you want to get close you will get soaked by the spray but its so worth it, you can even walk behind the waterfall, I believe you can also walk round and see a few smaller ones nearby but after getting soaked we decided to head back but would definitely encourage an explore if you have the time!

A must stop in. It's paid parking, and don't delay because they are very on top of checking and ticketing. The waterfall, you can walk up to, and around. On the right and left are some steps that you can climb (I recommend starting from the right, and returning that way if you don't have good balance), then rocks that you have to maneuver around. So worth it, just be careful of the slippery walkways, and wear waterproof everything if you don't want to be drenched after (I personally didn't mind, was just in so much awe).

I would give this waterfall 10 stars if I could! We spotted this one a few km away while driving east on route 1.. can't miss it. Powerful, loud, misty, and surrounded by lush greenery - at least in August. The fact that a visitor can walk behind it is the best part - nothing else like it. You will definitely get water mist on you, so rain jacket and/or pants help. We did the ring road trip and this was in the top 3 best things. Free entry. They charge for parking, but you can park on the street for free and walk the extra 3 minutes. There is a little shop right by the parking lot. We spent about 1-1.5 hrs here, and ended up camping at the waterfall campground right next to the Seljalandfoss.

Beautiful, free waterfall. Free toilet/WC here (one of the few sites that is equipped with this in southern Iceland). It is possible to go behind this waterfall and take unique photos - be prepared to get soaked by a lot of mist from the waterfalls. The trail is also uneven and includes steep stairs, wear good shoes (not wheelchair or stroller accessible).

There are 2 waterfalls almost next to each other (on the same road). The first one you can walk behind, which was really fun. The other one you can walk into a "cave" where the water actually falls into the ground. Both were awesome and I'm so glad we rented a car and drove to see these sights. Leaving Reykjavik was the best thing we did.

such a heavenly feel, when you go backside of the waterfall ! make sure you go behind it. Its not at all time consuming or difficult. anybody less than age 50 should be able to complete the circle with in 20 mins. So, just go for it :) .. its awesome ! .. if you can click few pictures from behind, you will have those golden memories forever in your life :)

One of the most picture-friendly waterfalls in Iceland. There are two noticeable waterfalls, with the smaller one often disappearing into windblown mist before it hits the ground, and occasionally the larger one will do the same. A strong gale can sometimes even cause the waterfall to appear to fall upward! But even with light winds: it's a truly beautiful sight, and a path runs behind the waterfall to offer even better views that cannot be missed. If you're doing the Ring Road counter-clockwise this will be a sight to behold as it appears on the horizon, growing bigger with every passing kilometer. If you're going clockwise on the Ring Road: make sure to look back over your shoulder as you continue westward.

Easily accessed, lots of water, very impressive. You can go behind the water but watch out, you need waterproof clothing or you will get very wet, and it is quite slippery. Start from the windside. A small shop and fast-food restaurant on location. Entrance is free. Ample parking available.

A great experience! This is one of the many truly interesting waterfalls in Iceland. High drop, lots of spray and the unique feature that is the possibility to go behind it. Always a lot of people here, even off-season. Been here a few times and the best advice I can leave is to come around late in the day or very (very indeed) early in the day when the tourist crowd isn't around.

One of the "must see" wonders of nature while in Iceland and for a good reason so. The waterfall is magnificent and I strongly recommend to observe it from the left side and go behind it. There are trails, just be careful as everything is wet and slippery. Take care of your camera equipment and wear waterproof clothes in case you want to come closer to the water. Short walking distance away there are two other waterfalls, the more distant one is not approachable for everyone, as it involves some rock climbing :)

You can walk all around and underneath the waterfall! I mean it doesn't really get any better than that! Parking is close and there's a path that takes you all around with minimal built-in supports on one of the sides, which is something I enjoy. There are a few more waterfalls along the park but Seljalandsfoss is the main attraction there.

Beautiful waterfall. Yes, it's going to be busy, yes it sucks in winter because of it's strange water content, yes they expect you to be reasonably intelligent about your own safety. But it is maybe a five minute drive from the 1 so zip in and enjoy it for a moment as you brush away the selfie sticks.

Worth the stop! Our favorite waterfall on a short trip. Probably due to the fact that the sun came out briefly when we walked behind for a stunning view. Wear rain clothes, we were able to adventure behind for incredible pictures and then strip our rain gear and be warm for the rest of the car ride.

They don't grit the paths enough during winter so you will slip here. I don't recommend visiting this place during the winter. They say you can go round the back of the waterfall but you will find it hard to get there. We saw two people having to crawl on their knees to get back up the slope from behind the waterfall Not good. Be careful if you do go, take ice grips for your shoes!

An absolutely stunning waterfall! This is a pretty popular tourist attraction, so expect there to be a decent amount of tourists in the area unless you leave really early in the morning or late at night (possible during certain times of year due to the abundance of sunlight for almost the entire day). There is a path around the waterfall itself and some of the braver souls even wander to the top of it
