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. Destinations covered: 📍Partial Golden Circle 📍Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park 📍Skógar 📍Vík 📍Skaftafell 📍Höfn 📍Seydisfjordur 📍Lake Mývatn 📍Akureyri 📍Reykjavík 📍BONUS: Off-the-beaten-path destination (my favorite part of Iceland) Recommendations included in the itinerary: ✔️Hikes ✔️Restaurants ✔️Two tours ✔️Van rental information ✔️Campsite information ✔️Easy van meal ideas ✔️Local tips and general Iceland information ✔️Packing list to make van life seamless *This itinerary was created for someone looking to travel to Iceland between May-September.

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.

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.

I've added 18 sights you can visit, with time left to spare to relax and soak in the picturesque views. Who needs a tour guide when you have a passion for exploration! Bringing you through a detailed 10 Days experience traveling along the southern coast of scenic Iceland :) Check out my tiktoks @stayinblessed for a sneak peak of what you could see with my itinerary!

Check out these top spots in Iceland that are either hidden gems or worth braving the crowds. Most are outdoor experiences, because the reason people visit Iceland is because of the natural beauty. Sure, summer is the prime time to visit Iceland for the weather, but don’t be fooled—other seasons bring great things too (like the aurora). Iceland's weather changes every five minutes, its bad and good at the same time, and you might just have bad clothing if you're not having a great time. Positive attitudes are required here, and a bit of planning. I’m Jules, and after a year living, studying, and exploring Iceland, I’m here to share my favorite unforgettable spots. I made a YouTube video showcasing months worth of footage in these locations for those who want a virtual tour. This list is based on that video. I’ve sprinkled in some cool tips and hidden gems for each place to enhance your visit. Rest assured, I only recommend what I genuinely love. Hopefully we get along. I’m also crafting a complete guide to every spot I’ve been in Iceland, but for now, I’m bringing you the very best. Less is more anyway, and less overwhelming.

🇮🇸 3-Day Itinerary - Explore Iceland's South Coast. ✨ Must-See places. 💎 Hidden Gems. 👉 Insider info for every stop. ⏰ How long to stay at each spot. 🚗 Drive times. 🏡 Best places to stay. 🍦 Local food. 📸 Photography tips. ☀️ March to October are the perfect months to follow this itinerary, with sufficient daylight to complete everything according to the timing provided and the best chance to have good weather. 📸 The itinerary is timed to arrive at each spot when the light is optimal (March through October) and when the locations are less crowded (fewer tour buses). ☔️ But it's Iceland, so be prepared for some rain and wind. ❄️ November to February: While it’s possible to visit all locations during the winter, there are two challenges: ❄️ Winter driving conditions ☀️ Limited amount of daylight. 👉 More info on driving in Iceland at the bottom of the itinerary. ⚠️ Caution: Trails at Reykjadalur Thermal River & Svartifoss Waterfall could be icy. ☀️ Sunrise will dictate a later start in the winter, but the itinerary should still be doable in 3 days. ⏰ While this itinerary times everything out, including how long it takes to drive to the next stop and how long to spend at each destination... feel free to take it at your own pace. ➡️ When you're ready to head to the next stop simply use the Directions/Go button next to the "address" which links to the map (Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze) to help you navigate.

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.
