Welcome to Iceland!

Did you opt for the airport shuttle? It will bring you straight to the basecamp, where a team member will greet you. After a short briefing and picking up your vehicle, your adventure can begin.

You’ll head straight south. Your first stop is a natural hot spring, hidden in the landscape, the perfect way to soak in the Icelandic atmosphere. Next, you’ll visit the Kerið crater, an old volcano now filled with a stunning blue-green lake.

You’ll spend the night in Hella, a peaceful village surrounded by iconic Icelandic nature.

Your second day on the Iceland road trip takes you into the heart of southern Iceland, with waterfalls and glaciers along the way.

Start with majestic Seljalandsfoss, where you can walk behind its curtain of water, then continue to Skógafoss, an impressive 60-metre Icelandic waterfall whose roar echoes throughout the valley.

Next, set out to discover Sólheimajökull glacier and admire its glacier tongue streaked with volcanic ash.

In the afternoon, head to Sólheimasandur beach, where the wreckage of a US plane has lain in the black sand since 1973. It’s a strange yet fascinating place, shaped by the raw power of Iceland’s elements.

You’ll end the day at a favourite campsite, a still-pristine spot tucked among spectacular landscapes... its exact location will be revealed once you’re there.

Leave Vík behind and follow the road along the cliffs and lava fields to Vatnajökull National Park, home to Europe’s largest glacier.

Along the way, don’t miss Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon, carved by glacial waters and reaching depths of 100 metres. A scenic trail offers incredible views.

Once you reach Skaftafell, you can join a guided glacier hike (if booked). With its crevasses, blue ice and absolute silence, it’s one of the finest experiences Iceland has to offer.

You’ll spend the night next to the national park, surrounded by mountains and ice (accommodation paid for locally).

Today, you continue your journey eastward, still at the foot of the Vatnajökull glacier.

First stop: the famous Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, where floating icebergs slowly drift toward the ocean. Right next to it is Diamond Beach, a unique spot where chunks of ice sparkle on the black sand like diamonds in the sun.

Next: head to the Stokksnes Peninsula, a spectacular area dominated by the impressive Vestrahorn mountain. Between black sand dunes and golden reflections at sunset, it’s a must-visit for photographers and lovers of wide-open landscapes.

End the day in the green valley of Fossardalur, at a spacious and peaceful campsite.

Today, you’ll discover the Eastfjords, a wilder, lesser-known region where roads wind between steep mountains and lush valleys.

The road to Seyðisfjörður is one of Iceland’s most scenic routes, winding through the mountains. This village is a true cultural gem, known for its colourful wooden houses and iconic blue church. Along the way, you can stop at waterfalls, viewpoints and puffin-watching spots.

After exploring this charming village and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the fjord, you’ll continue towards Reyðarfjörður, one of the largest fjords in the Eastfjords.

You’ll spend the night at a quiet campsite surrounded by mountains and open to the sea.

Today, head north! The road winds its way between mountains and moonlike plateaus.

Make a must-see stop at Dettifoss and Selfoss waterfalls, among the most powerful in Europe. The roar of the water and the rising mist create an impressive atmosphere.

Then continue to the north coast and the charming village of Húsavík, known as Iceland’s whale-watching capital. If you’ve booked it, set out on a boat trip to see whales, dolphins and puffins.

In the evening, camp by the sea with magnificent views of the ocean.

This day is dedicated to exploring the north of Iceland: lakes, caves, and craters.

You will first visit Mývatn lake, one of the island's natural gems, where you can observe many Icelandic birds. Then, head to Hverir with its geothermal fumaroles and lunar landscape, followed by the mysterious cave of Grjótagjá, a famous filming location for Game of Thrones. You'll also have the chance to go on an Icelandic horse ride (if reserved) and visit other volcanic sites.

In the evening, enjoy camping with a spectacular view and natural hot springs nearby. With a bit of luck, you might see the Northern Lights from your rooftop tent!

Take the spectacular F35 (Kjalvegur) route across Iceland’s highlands, a legendary track reserved for 4x4 vehicles. Along the way, discover the colourful Kerlingarfjöll mountain range, with its red, ochre and sulphur-yellow peaks, before continuing to the Golden Circle region.

End the day at the iconic Geysir and Gullfoss, then spend the night in Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The highland tracks are off-limits to vans, so today you’ll take the Ring Road west towards the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, a snapshot of Iceland where cliffs, black beaches and volcanoes come together.

You’ll spend the night there.

The day starts with a unique experience: snorkeling in the Silfra fissure (if booked), where the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia meet.

Next, head to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, known as “Iceland in miniature”. Explore its fishing villages, the cliffs of Arnarstapi and the majestic Snæfellsjökull. You’ll spend the night on the peninsula.

Spend the morning exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, known as “Iceland in miniature”, with its fishing villages, the cliffs of Arnarstapi and the majestic Snæfellsjökull.

Then head to the Golden Circle: Geysir, Gullfoss and Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you'll spend the night.

It's your last day on Iceland's roads!

Choose between hiking to Glymur Waterfall, one of the highest in Iceland, or heading straight to Reykjavík to enjoy your final evening.

Back in the capital, wander through the colorful streets, admire Hallgrímskirkja church, and end the day at a café in the old harbor.

Spend the night at a campsite near base camp, the perfect spot for a quiet evening before departure.
