Our Route

Golden Circle

Ring Road (Route 1)

Our route began at KEF airport, where we traveled through the Golden Circle, the Central Highlands, and the South before returning to the capital. From there, we explored the western and northern routes. Our tour lasted 6.5 days, excluding the waterfalls and lakes along the northeastern part of the Ring Road. We spent two nights in the Golden Circle, two nights in the South, and two nights in the West. I recommend allowing some buffer time in each area, as heavy rainfall can sometimes disrupt travel plans.

Ring Road: For those considering the full Ring Road (Route 1), which encircles the main coastline, plan for at least 10 days to complete the journey.

We used Blue Car Rental which provides competitive pricing and reliable service.
