Things to do in Seljalandsfoss

An indescribably wonderful trip and the best day tour I have ever taken. First of all, the bus tour guide himself had white hair and wore a traditional Icelandic patterned wool sweater, looking like a Viking stepped right into reality and instantly creating a strong sense of immersion. Along the way, we saw the magnificent daytime waterfall shining brightly under the brilliant sunshine. When taking the boat tour of the glacier lagoon, the captain gave each of us a piece of transparent, thousand-year-old iceberg to hold for photos. The apocalyptic feel of Diamond Beach was then brought to life with a ray of bright sunshine. We enjoyed delicious volcanic rock black pizza and endless refills of soup in a bread bowl in the town of Vik. We saw the Seljalandsfoss waterfall at night, surrounded by stars and the aurora borealis amidst the mountains—a rare and wonderful experience in a lifetime. On the way back, we were very lucky to encounter a major aurora outburst. The guide said that according to the rules, he was supposed to return the bus on time without stopping, but he felt we shouldn't miss such a gorgeous aurora, so he decided to take the risk to give us a lucky moment! He finally found a super viewing platform, and we all stopped to capture the most stunning night of the northern lights. It was an extremely memorable journey. Plus, there was free Wi-Fi throughout the entire trip, and the heating was so warm that wearing just a single sweater inside the bus was more than enough. The guide not only introduced every attraction to us, but before parting ways, he also shared his favorite local itinerary as an Icelandic native, including municipal hot springs, sculpture art, and the whale museum, among others. All in all, it was a perfect journey combining nature and culture, entirely deserving of a full score. If you are staying in Reykjavik, taking a tour like this means you won't miss a thing on the South Coast.

I took three day trips from Reykjavik and it is my favorite one. You will have the opportunity to see some of the most iconic sights in Iceland, such as Skogarfoss and Reynisfjara Beach. Highly recommended!

Skógafoss & Seljalandsfoss Waterfalls 🌈 Freezing cold, howling wind, and pouring rain. Witnessed the natural beauty of light refraction. Caught a rainbow at both! 🌈 ReynisfjaraBlackSandBeach The conditions at Reynisfjara were awful, and despite keeping my distance, I actually got dragged in by a sneaker wave. In that exact moment, I thought, 'If I die right now, at least my family gets 12 million in insurance.' #CloseUpGlacier Looking closely at the glacier, it's far from the ordinary white I know. Instead, it's a natural white with light refractions, mesmerizing from every single angle.🌟 #

Our tour guide, Swede (I’m not entirely sure about the spelling, but we took the tour on October 13th, 2026), was fantastic! He is truly kind and passionate about his work. His time management was excellent, and he arranged the itinerary extremely well. Only two of us joined the DC Plane Wreck tour while the others went glacier hiking. Instead of leaving us to wait around while the others hiked, he took us to explore some beautiful surrounding spots. This thoughtful arrangement gave us an incredible bonus experience. On top of that, he made us feel completely reassured—he informed the plane wreck shuttle driver about us and promised to pick us up right on time. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this tour guide!

i had so much fun at this tour. it was exciting to be driven through a bumpy landscape with the big truck and through a river. the guide Otto was informative and very entertaining. i accidentally forgot my rain coat at the bus and they kindly dropped it off for me. kudos to the company for the great service!

The car was very comfortable, and our guide Jessica was very enthusiastic. The entire trip was enjoyable! The only minor drawback was that the time at each attraction felt a bit rushed. I suggest skipping the complimentary Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach tour so that everyone has more time to eat and explore.

A great experience (particularly the ice climbing) and well organised day. The guide for the ice climbing, Steven, was knowledgable, safety concious and thorough in his explanations that gave me the confidence to push myself into some incredible situations on the glacier. Were it not for his professionalism and attention to detail, I doubt I would have had the same experience. Highly recommend this for an adventure seeking day up close to the glacier, especially if Steven is at the helm!
