ARRIVAL ✈️

When arriving at KEF airport, head over to the rental desks to pick up your vehicle, this is the best way to travel around the country. Campers are the easiest way to explore the whole island without having the need to go back to Reykjavik.

There are a huge amount of companies offering camper vans ranging from barebones 2 person vans to luxury off-road Mercedes vehicles that come with onboard showers & can for 6 people.

REYKJAVIK & WEST📍

The world most northern capital & largest city on the island. Reykjavic can trace its history back to the Vikings. The striking concrete Hallgrimskirkja church, food scene & nightlife make this one of Europe’s most vibrant cities, especially in summer when the midnight sun arrives from May to July.
