Walk Behind the Magic: Seljalandsfoss, Iceland’s Hidden Perspective

#holidayitinerary One of Iceland’s most photogenic waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss is pure fairytale. Dropping 60 meters from a cliff into a serene pool below, what makes it truly unique is this: you can walk behind the waterfall and experience it from the inside out! The mist, the thunder, the rainbow-kissed spray—it's nature’s immersive theatre. Just be ready to get a little wet (bring a raincoat and non-slip shoes!). Located just off the Ring Road, it's an easy stop on the way to Vik. 💡Tip: Come at sunset for golden light pouring through the curtain of water—it’s surreal. Entrance is free, but parking is about ISK 800 (SGD 8). 📍Location: Southern Iceland (about 2 hours from Reykjavík) 📷 Must-snap: Backside shot with the sun shining through the falls #seljalandsfoss #icelandwaterfalls #chasingwaterfalls #ringroadadventures #behindthefalls
