About this trip
This is a self-drive route around the whole of Iceland, following the Ring Road over 11 days so you can take in the country's best-known landscapes at your own pace.
You're behind the wheel throughout, with the route taking you from the Golden Circle down the South Coast, round to the Eastfjords, the Diamond Circle and the Troll Peninsula, before finishing via the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
It's a private trip, just you and whoever you're travelling with, working through a set itinerary rather than joining a group.
What you'll do
- Drive the Golden Circle's geysers and waterfalls
- Explore the Snæfellsnes Peninsula's coastline
- Follow the South Coast's beaches and glaciers
- See icebergs at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
- Cross the Troll Peninsula and the Diamond Circle
- Wind through the Eastfjords
- Self-guided and self-drive — you cover the route independently rather than with a guide or group
- Rated easy, suited to families and those wanting a straightforward road trip
- Private trip, so it's just your own party for the whole 11 days
Worth it if you want a well-organised self-drive with solid hotels and responsive support. Think twice if you're budget-conscious—Iceland's prices are steep, and accommodation surprises (no parking, noisy venues) can derail your plans.
- Operator communication is agile and precise; staff answer questions quickly and trip organisation is thorough.
- Final Reykjavik hotel had no parking and loud live music late into night; clarify accommodation specifics beforehand.
- Iceland's prices for many things are absurdly high; budget accordingly beyond the tour cost itself.
- Daily segmented maps require jumping back to full ring road map; request overview map to grasp big picture easier.
