5 Day Icelandic Adventure- quick trip on a budget 

This is the itinerary I created for myself for my solo road trip along the South coast of Iceland in mid-January. Of course, it applies to group trips, too, while it assumes you are arriving to KEF airport on the west.

SOUTH COAST OF ICELAND: the BEST 3 days itinerary

This guide is a detailed 10 day itinerary with an interactive map showing over 80 locations that we visited on our road trip; months of preparation and planning went into the creation of this. The travel locations include destinations around the Ring Road, locations in the Snæfellsnes peninsula/ Snæfellsjökull National Park, as well as Landmannalauger in the Icelandic highlands. It includes recommended items to pack, cost of camper van and flights, locations and the time needed to travel between each location, how long we spent at each location (when relevant), links to restaurants we visited, and campsites that we stayed at throughout the trip. In the itinerary I've included things that I wish we had done or items that I wish we had brought along with us. This was a trip that my family and I loved and have so many beautiful memories as a result of having experienced it. We hope to share that same magic with you!

I had the most delicious soup here, which was warming on a windy and rainy day. Fish and chips (an Icelandic classic) are also here
