South Iceland’s Best Waterfalls + Hidden Gems | Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Ring Road Day 12 [4K]

Ring Road Iceland Day 12 in October 2024! 🌧️💦 It was a rainy day — but in Iceland, that just adds to the drama! Today we chase the most famous waterfalls across the South Coast, walk through a mossy canyon carved during the Ice Age, explore a Jedi-shaped cave, and get soaked with adventure (and water!). From Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon to Kvernufoss, Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, and the secret Gljúfrabúi, this day was packed with wild scenery — even in the drizzle. 📍 Morning: Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon (aka “Justin Bieber Canyon”) This winding 2km-long gorge was carved by glacial meltwater after the Ice Age and looks like something from Game of Thrones. 🎥 Made famous by Bieber’s "I'll Show You" video 🪨 Stay on marked trails — the moss is fragile! 🚁 Drone heaven if the weather allows 🕒 Allow 30–45 minutes 📍 Next Stop: Yoda Cave (Hjörleifshöfði) Hidden inside a volcanic rock hill in the black sand desert — and yes, it really looks like Yoda’s silhouette! 🚶‍♀️ Short 5–10 min walk from parking 📸 Great photo op with the cave and sand plains, also black sand! 🏔 Optional: Hike up for panoramic views if weather allows (and time permits) 🍽️ Lunch in Vik Our original plan was black crust pizza... but it was closed 😭 ✅ We ended up at a Chinese Wok (Wok in Vik) spot and it totally hit the spot. Vik is a charming village and a good stop to stretch, refuel, and explore briefly. 💧 Afternoon: Waterfall Trio! We explored four iconic waterfalls — all with their own vibe: 1️⃣ Kvernufoss 💎 Hidden gem near Skógafoss 🥾 Short trail through a mossy canyon 🚿 Walk behind the waterfall (bring waterproof gear!) 2️⃣ Skógafoss 💥 One of Iceland’s most powerful falls (60m high!) ⛰️ Climb to the top for river and mountain views 🌈 Mist + sun = rainbows, if you're lucky and come at the right time 💰 1000 ISK parking (~$7) 3️⃣ Seljalandsfoss + Gljúfrabúi 🌪️ Walk behind the falls — prepare to get drenched 🧭 Gljúfrabúi is hidden in a canyon just 5 min away, be prepared to wait for the iconic photo! 🌄 Both fed by Eyjafjallajökull glacier melt 💰 900 ISK parking covers both 🚘 Drive to Golden Circle Area We ended the day with a peaceful drive toward our stay at Hotel Laugarvatn, officially entering the Golden Circle region. Even in the mist, Iceland’s beauty never let up — and yes, we’re already planning to return for the spots we missed! 📌 Ring Road Playlist – Follow the full 14-day journey! 1️⃣ Day 1: Reykjavik + Reykholt 👉    • Iceland Ring Road Day 1: Keflavik Airport ...   2️⃣ Day 2: Snaefellsnes in 1 Day 👉    • Snæfellsnes Peninsula Iceland in One Day |...   3️⃣ Day 3: Ferry to the Westfjords 👉    • Westfjords Bound: Snæfellsnes Sights, Shar...   4️⃣ Day 4: Flókalundur to Dynjandi to Ísafjörður 👉    • Driving Iceland’s Remote Westfjords Part 1...   5️⃣ Day 5: Ísafjörður to North via Route 61/68 👉    • Remote Westfjords Iceland | Ísafjörður, Dy...   6️⃣ Day 6: Troll Peninsula | Kolugljúfur to Siglufjörður 👉    • Hidden North Iceland Drive | Troll Peninsu...   7️⃣ Day 7: Siglufjörður to Myvatn 👉    • North Iceland in a Day | Goðafoss, Mývatn ...   8️⃣ Day 8: Myvatn to Stuðlagil 👉    • Myvatn to Stuðlagil | Ring Road Day 8: Lav...   9️⃣ Day 9: Studlagil Canyon to Hengifoss to Southeast Iceland 👉    • East Iceland Road Trip | Stuðlagil Canyon,...   1️⃣ Day 10: Breiddalsvik to Vestrahorn/Hofn 👉    • Exploring Iceland’s Southeast Coast | Vest...   1️⃣1️⃣ Day 11: Diamond Beach and Svartifoss 👉    • Diamond Beach, Glacier Lagoon, Svartifoss ...   🎥 More In-Depth Iceland Travel Videos: 1️⃣ Vestrahorn (South Iceland) 👉    • Exploring Vestrahorn in South Iceland | Ul...   2️⃣ BONUS Grocery Store Aisles (Egilsstadir) 👉    • Iceland's Grocery Store Experience | Bonus...   3️⃣ Hverfjall Crater, Myvatn 👉    • Hverfjall Crater Hike in Iceland | Stunnin...   4️⃣ Valagil Waterfall Hike (Full POV) 👉    • What it's Like to Hike in Remote Iceland: ...   5️⃣ Barnafoss & Hraunfossar 👉    • Barnafoss & Hraunfossar: Hidden Gem Waterf...   6️⃣ Dynjandi Waterfall (Up Close Walkthrough) 👉    • Dynjandi Waterfall Full Hike & Guide | Wes...   🧳 Helpful Gear & Discounts for Iceland 10% OFF KLOOK: code 'RXTRAVELBUGKLOOK' 👉 Good for Nature Baths and often CHEAPER than booking directly with site-- good for Krauma, Secret Lagoon, Sky Lagoon (not Blue Lagoon) BlueCar Rental - 5% Discount Code: RXTRAVELBUG ✨ Iceland Road Trip Travel Essentials (Affiliate Links 🫶 that help support my videos, at no cost to you): Amazon Iceland Travel List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/rxtravelb...
