Iceland is one of my favorite places in the world and I'm excited to share this itinerary, which covers everything you need to have the most perfect week traveling the Ring Road. Plus I've included details about an off-the-beaten-path destination located in the center of the island, which was the highlight of my trip.
I explored Iceland by van and I believe it is the absolute best way to maximize your time on the island. Van travel saves you money since your accommodations, transportation (and meals if you decide to cook in your van) are all in one!
To travel the Ring Road in just a week, you'll need to be prepared to drive a lot (a few hours each day), but you'll see a lot as well!
If you're looking to hike, experience great Icelandic restaurants, be adventurous, and see the best parts of Iceland in 7-days, then this itinerary is for you.

Active volcanoes. Dancing northern lights. Gushing geysers. Massive glaciers. Thermal hot springs. Thundering waterfalls. Iceland is the ultimate adventure destination. How have you not been here yet? It’s finally time. Start in the northernmost capital in the world. Reykjavik is a hip, modern city. Then start exploring the wild coastline, the sheep-filled countryside, the icy interior, and the peaceful islands. There are plenty of black-sand beaches, small fishing villages, turf-roofed houses, and epic hikes along the way. Just remember to pack layers. Sometimes, the Gulf Stream provides moderate temperatures. Other times, it’ll feel like you’re in the Arctic. Also don’t forget the long, dark winters and the 24-hour daylight during the short summers. If you take advantage of Icelandair’s free stopover program—a great excuse to visit Helsinki, Copenhagen, and even Paris—you can keep returning to discover which season you like best.

When you head east from Reykjavík, it doesn't take long to leave the Capital Region and enter South Iceland. The city immediately feels quite far away. This area is home to the Golden Circle and Vatnajökull National Park. It's filled with picturesque waterfalls, black-sand beaches, thermal hot springs, iceberg-filled lagoons, stunning hiking trails, and fascinating historic sites. There's a lot to see within relatively short driving distances. It's a good place to start your real Icelandic adventure.

Iceland is a Nordic island country located in the North Atlantic Ocean, and it is known for its stunning natural beauty, unique landscapes, and vibrant culture.
The land of fire and ice, of imposing volcanoes, of the largest glacier in Europe, of the magical northern lights, of waterfalls that leave you speechless, of hot springs, of whales, of puffins...

Hello, fellow traveler!
Thank you for choosing my shop to help you have a fantastic trip to Iceland. This was stop 1 on my 8-weeks of fun backpacking trip, aka my quarter-life crisis trip. My best friend Ally and I did a 3-day road trip when we went backpacking for two months in 2023. We regretted not staying longer, so I have the road trip Ally, and I did, plus a 5-day for you because I recommend at least 5 days for Iceland. If you can swing it, I recommend doing the entire ring road. Iceland is f*** epic and wasn't as expensive as people made it out to be.
