Iceland
Seljalandsfoss
A hollow in the cliff face allows visitors to walk entirely around this picturesque waterfall.
About
Fed by waters from the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, Seljalandsfoss pours over a 60 meter cliff into a grassy basin, though centuries ago, this cliff once marked Iceland’s coast. Today, Seljalandsfoss is one of the most photogenic waterfalls in Iceland, thanks in large part to the hollow in the cliff face behind the falls. This cavern offers to view the falls from every angle, but be prepared to get wet by the constant mist Seljalandsfoss makes. With floodlights installed on either side of the falls, you’re sure to get an impressive few, even if you visit in the dark of winter. Less than a kilometer to the north is one of Iceland’s hidden gems: the Gljúfrabúi waterfall. Mostly obscured by a cliff, to reach the falls, you have to wade up-stream through a cleft in the rock face. But for those who get their feet wet, you’re rewarded with a stunning, albeit soaking, experience (seriously, you will get wet).

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
