At Seljalandsfoss by 10am the car park is already full. Iceland's most visited destinations are genuinely overcrowded in peak season — but the crowds follow a predictable pattern, and timing is everything.

Our take

Arrive at Iceland's top waterfalls and geothermal sites before 8am or after 6pm — same views, a fraction of the people.
