Itinerary

Day 1 | South Iceland

Pick up your rental car at Keflavík airport upon arrival. Need a relaxing time after your flight (depending on your arrival time)? Soak in the milky waters of the Blue Lagoon, 20 minutes only from Keflavík Airport, the perfect way to unwind before you hit the road. Head South and stop at the friendly villages of Eyrarbakki and Stokkseyri, renowned for their beautiful seashore and relaxed pace of life. Reach Hveragerði Town, where powerful steam vents can be seen rising from snowy grounds, a temple of geothermal energy. Join our partners Eldhestar or Sólhestar on a magical horseback riding tour across volcanic landscapes sprinkled with snow.

Accommodation in the Gullfoss/Geysir area.

Day 2 | The South Coast

Drive the ‘Golden Circle’, consisting of three of Iceland’s most stunning sights: Þingvellir National Park, Geysir Hot Spring area and Gullfoss Waterfall. Marvel at Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss Waterfalls, as the sun reflects the winter light off the stream. Get your basic right about volcanos at Lava Centre museum in Hvolsvöllur and continue onwards to Vík. End the day with a visit to Dyrhólaey iconic arch, and a walk along Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, characterized by Reynisdrangar Stacks, visible out at sea.

Explore Skaftafell Reserve, part of Vatnajökull National Park, rich in contrasts from black snowy mountains and glacial rivers, to waterfalls and calm glaciers lagoons, and home to a variety of hiking trails.

TripAdvisor reviews

Best introduction to Iceland! I booked this on a whim and it could not have been more perfect. The car was ideal for us to set our own itenary with the comfort of knowing where we were going to sleep each night. Each stay provided a great nights rest and breakfast. I highly recommend and will use them again!
