We returned the car and checked in for our flight—an unforgettable experience coming to an end. After dropping off our luggage, we checked the app and saw a high chance of northern lights. Without hesitation, we stepped outside the airport and, for one last time on this trip, witnessed the breathtaking aurora dancing in the sky—the perfect farewell to an incredible adventure!

Day 1: (Landing + Reykjavík)
13:30 – We landed at Keflavíkurflugvöllur Airport and picked up our rental car: details about the car at the end of the script.
Next point in: 55 km
16:00 – Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur: We kicked off our adventure with a visit to the city’s famous hot dog stand. We absolutely loved the hot dog even though it’s a bit pricey compared to other places and not exactly groundbreaking. But as the first hot dog of our trip, it was exactly what we needed!
Next point in: 1000 meters
16:45 –Hallgrímskirkja: Reykjavik’s most iconic landmark, towering over the city with its striking design inspired by Iceland’s basalt lava columns. Whether you admire it from the ground or take the elevator up to the observation deck for panoramic views, this church is a must-visit. It’s not just a place of worship—it’s a symbol of Iceland’s unique blend of nature, history, and architecture.
Next point in: 45 km
Where we stayed: The Greenhouse Hotel – A stylish and cozy stay with modern, minimalist rooms and a unique atmosphere. One of the highlights is the vibrant food hall in the lobby, featuring a selection of food trucks offering everything from Icelandic seafood to tacos and gourmet burgers—perfect for a casual yet delicious dinner.
Day 2: (Hveragerði, Kerið, Geysir, Gullfoss Waterfall)
Next point in: 200 meters
8:30 – Almar Bakari: We started the morning at Almar Bakarí, where they serve great coffee and a wide selection of croissants and bread. We grabbed some for the rest of the day and also bought five small bottles of water since we didn’t stop at a supermarket yesterday. But here’s my advice—stop at the supermarket the day before and buy two big bottles instead. The supermarket is right next to this bakery, but at 8:30 AM, it was still closed.
Next point in: 4 km
9:15 – Hveragerði: Just outside the town of Hveragerði begins one of the most magical hiking trails in South Iceland. A 3 km (each way) trail leads to the Reykjadalur hot spring valley, which translates to “The Steaming Valley.” This breathtaking area ends at a river with naturally warm water, perfect for a relaxing soak.
Part of our trail was covered in ice, but nothing that good hiking boots couldn’t handle—just be careful not to slip.
Next point in: 27 km
13:45 – Kerið: is a volcanic crater with a breathtaking turquoise lake at its base. Since we visited during the colder season, the edges of the lake were frozen, creating an absolutely stunning view!
You can walk down a set of well-maintained stairs all the way to the lake at the bottom (swimming is not allowed, of course). After that, you can also hike around the top of the volcanic crater for a full 360° view.
Next point in: 38 km
15:00 – Brúarfoss: is a breathtaking waterfall, just a short 5–10 minute walk from the parking lot. The best viewpoint is from the bridge, where you can capture the stunning blue waters in all their glory.
Next point in: 15 km
16:00 – Geysir: This geyser erupts roughly every 7 minutes, and honestly, you don’t have to wait long to see an impressive burst of steam and water shooting into the air. There’s not much else to do here—once you’ve seen one eruption, you’ve pretty much seen them all.
Next point in: 10 km
17:00 – Gullfoss: is an enormous and powerful waterfall, truly a sight to behold. At the entrance, there’s a souvenir shop and a small café, both just a short walk from the falls. While most attractions were relatively empty during our trip, this one was noticeably more crowded.
We arrived in the late afternoon, and the wind was insanely strong, sending mist from the waterfall straight at us—our first natural shower of the trip!
Next point in: 32 km
Where we stayed: The Hill Hotel At Flúðir –is a charming and cozy place to stay, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights is the jacuzzi in the hotel’s inner courtyard, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. To top it off, the dinner was absolutely excellent—great food in a relaxed setting. We didn’t book breakfast in the morning, but when we asked if we could grab a coffee from the breakfast area and pay for it, the host kindly offered it to us free of charge. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a perfect way to start the day with a smile.
23:00 – Our First Northern Lights Experience: Around 9 PM, we checked an app (which we’ll definitely talk more about later) and saw there was a 20% chance of Northern Lights. Of course, we quickly shook off the day’s exhaustion, bundled up in warm clothes, and set out on our mission to catch the lights. We drove about 15 minutes south from the town we were staying in and found a safe spot on the side of the road (be cautious when stopping—there aren’t many lights on the roads).
After about an hour and a half, the sky started to turn green. Here’s a tip: don’t make the mistake we did- be sure to step out of the car every few minutes and look up at the whole sky. We were sitting in the car for a while, and after an hour, we realized the Northern Lights were actually behind us and right above us. It was a bit of a funny moment, but definitely worth the wait.
Day 3: (Hrunalaug, Seljalandsfoss, Gljúfrabúi, Reynisdrangar Cliffs)
Next point in: 5 km
.9:30 – Hrunalaug Hot Spring: is a small and slightly rustic hot spring, but that’s part of its charm. We arrived right at opening time and had the entire place to ourselves—it was quiet, peaceful, and absolutely perfect. The water was at an ideal temperature, making it the perfect spot to relax.
The changing huts are heated and comfortable, though you do have to make a quick dash in your swimsuit to the hot spring. But trust us—it’s 100% worth it.
Next point in: 68 km
.12:00 – Eldstó Art Cafe / Restaurant: On our way to the next destination, we made a spontaneous stop at this charming café, and it turned out to be a great decision! We had the best lamb soup of the entire trip (and trust us, we had a lot of lamb soup).
I didn’t get a photo, but we also tried the burger, and it was absolutely delicious. A hidden gem worth stopping for.
Next point in: 22 km
13:45 – Seljalandsfoss: is a massive and breathtaking waterfall, but the best part? You can get really close to it! Even better, there’s a trail that takes you behind the waterfall for an incredible view.
Of course, walking behind it means getting a bit of a natural shower—and at 3°C, that’s definitely a refreshing experience.
Next point in: 700 meters
14:10 – Gljúfrabúi: is truly something special—a waterfall hidden inside a cave. To see it up close, you have to step inside… because you didn’t really think we were done with our waterfall showers for the day, did you?
Standing inside the cave with the powerful waterfall pouring down is an unforgettable experience.
Next point in: 64 km
17:00 – Reynisdrangar Cliffs: The Reynisdrangar Cliffs were wild and unforgettable—so windy that hats went flying, gloves disappeared, and a few people even tumbled to the ground. The ocean was roaring, with huge waves crashing against the black rocks like something out of a movie. We waited around ten minutes for our turn to snap a photo at the edge, but the dramatic view was totally worth it.
Next point in: 6 km
17:40 – Krónan Vík: stop for grabbing groceries to cook dinner at our apartment
Next point in: 6 km
Where we stayed: Black Beach Suites–I have no idea how I forgot to take a picture—probably because of the crazy wind! But trust me, this place was amazing. The apartment was super clean, modern, and huge! A spacious bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a lovely balcony with a stunning view (not that we spent much time outside in that wind). Overall, a fantastic stay—highly recommended.
Day 4: (Gönguleið um Eldhraun, Fjaðrárgljúfur, Foss á Síðu)
Next point in: 70 km
10:30 – Gönguleið um Eldhraun: This beautiful viewpoint overlooks Eldhraun, one of Iceland’s largest lava fields, created by a massive volcanic eruption in the 18th century. The moss-covered lava formations stretch as far as the eye can see, creating an otherworldly landscape.
Honestly? It felt like we had landed on Mars—just with way more green. A surreal and breathtaking stop that’s definitely worth checking out.
Next point in: 6 km
11:00 – Fjaðrárgljúfur: is a stunning canyon about 2 kilometers long, shaped by glacial meltwater over thousands of years. Its dramatic cliffs and winding river make it one of the most picturesque spots in Iceland. The hike here is super easy, making it accessible for everyone.
Next point in: 21 km
13:00 – Foss á Síðu: is a small waterfall located on private property, so you can’t get too close. However, it’s right by the road, making it an easy stop for a quick photo. Compared to some of the massive waterfalls in Iceland, it’s not the most impressive, but since it’s on the way—why not stop?
The best part? Before turning onto the path leading to the waterfall, we noticed a group of Icelandic horses on the other side of the road. Everyone stopped to pet them, and it was such a nice little bonus! Icelandic horses are truly special, and seeing them up close made the stop even more worthwhile.
Next point in: 121 km
Where we stayed: Hótel Jökulsarlon - Glacier Lagoon Hotel –This hotel is absolutely stunning both inside and out! The moment we parked, we fell in love with its modern and clean design. Behind the hotel, you’ll find a beautiful lagoon, and on the deck, there are two hot tubs at the perfect temperature and a sauna. Of course, we dropped our luggage in the room and ran straight to the hot tub. For dinner, we ate at the hotel restaurant, and it was one of the best meals we’ve had. Keep in mind, though, that the menu isn’t very extensive, so if you dine there multiple nights, it might feel a bit repetitive. That said, do NOT skip the crème brûlée for dessert—it was amazing!
23:30 – Our Second Northern Lights Experience: This was, without a doubt, the most incredible Northern Lights display we saw during our entire trip! The sky was completely lit up in vibrant shades of green, purple, and even blue—a breathtaking spectacle that felt almost unreal.
Watching the lights dance across the sky was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, something we’ll never forget.
Day 5: (Crystal Ice Cave, Jökulsárlón Lagoon, Diamond Beach)
Next point in: 10 km
9:30 – Crystal Ice Cave: Our adventure started at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where we met up with our tour group. From there, we hopped onto one of those massive super jeeps. Honestly? It felt more like a gimmick than a necessity—you could easily make the drive with a regular 4×4.
After a bumpy ride, we arrived near the glacier and began a 15-minute walk toward the entrance. Once on the ice, we walked slowly for about 10 minutes between two ropes, which was helpful for balance. If you’ve never walked on a glacier before, it’s a cool experience, but nothing mind-blowing.
Then, we finally entered the Crystal Ice Cave, where we spent about 45 minutes exploring. The cave itself is truly stunning—a natural tunnel of pure ice, glowing in shades of blue. However, it was pretty crowded, and we often had to wait for groups ahead of us to move before we could continue.
Is it beautiful? Absolutely. A rare sight that you don’t get to see every day. But is it worth the steep price and 4.5 hours of your day, most of which is spent in a jeep? That depends. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it’s definitely unique. But if you’re short on time or budget, this might not be a must-do.
13:00 – Jökulsárlón Lagoon: is a beautiful place to take a break and soak in the views. There are benches where you can sit and watch the lagoon, making it a perfect spot to just relax and take it all in.
That being said, when we visited, there weren’t too many impressive icebergs floating in the lagoon itself. It was still a nice stop, but we were expecting a bit more.
On the plus side, at the edge of the parking lot, there are food trucks! We grabbed a hot dog and enjoyed our meal while looking out over the lagoon—definitely a great way to take in the scenery!
Next point in: 1 km
14:00 – Diamond Beach: We expecting to see massive, crystal-clear icebergs scattered across the black sand. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. There were a few medium-sized clear ice chunks, but they were surrounded by tons of people, making it hard to get that picture-perfect moment.
The rest of the beach had smaller ice pieces, which didn’t feel as impressive as we had hoped. That being said, since it’s right across from Jökulsárlón Lagoon, it’s still worth a quick stop—you might get luckier with the ice formations than we did.
Next point in: 13 km
14:30 – Þórbergssetur – Cultural Center & Restaurant: A nice little restaurant where we stopped for lunch. We had lamb soup, which was really tasty, and fish, which was decent but nothing extraordinary. The atmosphere was cozy, making it a good stop if you’re in the area and looking for a warm meal.
Next point in: 4 km
Where we stayed: Hótel Jökulsarlon - Glacier Lagoon Hotel –We returned for our second night at this amazing hotel, and it was just as perfect as the first. The dinner was fantastic, and of course, we couldn’t skip another relaxing soak in the hotel’s hot tub.
Later in the evening, it started snowing heavily, which made for a truly magical and unforgettable experience—beautiful, but definitely freezing.
Day 6: (Skaftafell)
Next point in: 68 km
11:30 – Hiking to Svartifoss: The trail starts at the Skaftafell Visitor Center, where well-marked paths guide you toward Svartifoss. The first part of the hike is a gentle 1.5 km uphill climb, passing through lush greenery with occasional glimpses of glaciers in the distance.
After about 45 minutes, you’ll reach Svartifoss, a spectacular waterfall surrounded by black basalt columns. The contrast between the white water and the dark hexagonal rock formations makes this one of Iceland’s most photogenic spots. This is the perfect place for a break, so take your time and snap some amazing photos.
Continuing the Circular Route: Instead of heading back the same way, follow the loop trail. The path continues uphill toward Sjónarsker, a panoramic viewpoint offering breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and Vatnajökull glacier. From there, the trail descends towards Sel, an old farmstead, before rejoining the main path leading back to the visitor center. (6.5 km total)
Next point in: 150 km
16:00 – We went to a restaurant in Vík, but it wasn’t very good, so I wouldn’t recommend it. However, there are a few other places in Vík that you can try, or you can buy groceries at the supermarket and cook in your apartment.
Next point in: 8 km
Where we stayed: Black Beach Suites–our stay was just as perfect as last time.
Day 7: (Skógafoss, Urriðafoss)
Next point in: 32 km
9:30 – Freyacafe: We grabbed a cup of coffee from this cozy café located near Skógafoss. The atmosphere was lovely, and the coffee was really good
Next point in: 2 km
10:00 – Skógafoss: is one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls, standing at an impressive 60 meters high and 25 meters wide. The powerful cascade creates a misty spray, and on sunny days, you might even catch a beautiful rainbow in front of it.
When we visited, we found it a bit tricky to get a perfect shot directly in front of the waterfall. A stream runs right at its base, making it difficult to stand too close without getting soaked. Plus, it’s a popular spot, so expect a crowd. Still, it’s a charming waterfall, and I wouldn’t skip stopping here
Next point in: 81 km
12:30 – Urriðafoss is a waterfall you can easily view from the parking lot, making it a convenient stop on a road trip. Unlike some of Iceland’s more dramatic waterfalls, this one is more about power than height. While it’s not the most impressive compared to others we’ve seen, it’s still worth a quick stop if you’re passing by
Next point in: 140 km
Where we stayed: Hotel Hafnarfjall - We stayed in a room with close access to the jacuzzi, which was a great perk after a long day of exploring. The room itself was super cute and cozy, though we did notice that the sheets weren’t the cleanest, and there was no sponge to wash the dishes, which made cleaning up a bit tricky. Overall, we really liked the place – it offers great value for the price, and the location is perfect for a peaceful stay.
Day 8: (Gerðuberg Cliffs, Ytri-Tunga, Saxhóll, Svörtuloft)
Next point in: 50 km
10:00 – Gerðuberg Cliffs: The cliffs look stunning in pictures, but in reality, they were a bit less striking. To truly appreciate the basalt columns up close, you need to climb up the hill, which can be tricky—especially for us, as most of the hill was covered in snow, making it hard to get close. It’s a nice little stop if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t say it’s a must-see.
Next point in: 40 km
12:30 – Ytri-Tunga: When we heard about a “seal beach,” we were skeptical thinking it might just be a tourist trap. But wow, we were so wrong! The seals were right there, super close to us, just chilling on the rocks, sunbathing, and playfully hopping around. It was absolutely adorable! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
Next point in: 60 km
14:00 – Saxhóll Crater: is a volcanic crater with a wooden staircase leading up to the top. The climb is short—about 10 minutes—but the reward is a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. While the crater itself isn’t the most impressive, the scenery from the top is absolutely worth the stop. A must for anyone exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula
Next point in: 13 km
15:00 – Svörtuloft: offers dramatic ocean views, with rugged black lava cliffs contrasting against the bright orange lighthouse. The scenery is truly unique, making it a great spot for photographers and nature lovers.
Important note: The road leading there is rough, so a 4×4 vehicle is highly recommended.
Wildlife spotting: If you’re lucky, you might even see marine animals from the cliffs. The area is peaceful, making it a perfect spot to take in Iceland’s raw beauty away from the crowds.
Next point in: 38 km
Where we stayed: Arnarstapi Cottages - offers cozy cottages with stunning mountain views. The rooms are comfortable with good shower and toilet facilities, but it's important to note that there’s no microwave in the room, only a kettle. The place also has a restaurant and bar where you can enjoy a nice dinner. It’s a peaceful and relaxing spot, perfect for staying and immersing yourself in the beauty of the surrounding area.
Day 9: (Kirkjufellsfoss, Stykkishólmur)
Next point in: 50 km
11:00 – Kirkjufellsfossar: A perfect viewpoint of Kirkjufell Mountain, one of the most famous and picturesque spots in Iceland. The Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls, located right at the base of the mountain, are a must-visit if you’re in the area. These three adjacent waterfalls cascade 16 meters down into a rushing river, creating a stunning scene.
I can’t deny that it’s a beautiful photo opportunity, but honestly, if you’re not already in the area, I wouldn’t go out of my way just to see it. In the end, it’s another mountain, and I believe there are far more impressive places in Iceland. However, if you’re nearby, it’s absolutely worth a stop.
Next point in: 42 km
12:00 – Súgandisey Island Lighthouse – A small but charming lighthouse located on Súgandisey Island in Stykkishólmur. The short hike up to the lighthouse offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding fjords and Breiðafjörður Bay. It’s a peaceful spot, perfect for taking in the scenery and enjoying the sea breeze. The lighthouse itself, painted in a bright orange-red color, stands in beautiful contrast to the rugged Icelandic landscape.
If you’re passing through Stykkishólmur, it’s definitely worth the short walk up for some great views.
Next point in: 100 km
14:00 – Dirty burger and ribs :We stopped here on the way, and the burger was great—it arrived quickly, and the fries were excellent
Next point in: 67 km
Where we stayed: Reykjavik Domes – We were surprised to discover that this unique stay is actually located within an industrial area, but that didn't affect our experience at all. The dome itself was stunning, offering a truly special and cozy atmosphere. The jacuzzi was amazing, and the room was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook dinner in the evening. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the Northern Lights, but the experience was still unforgettable. Highly recommended for a unique and memorable stay!
Day 10: (Sky Lagoon)
Next point in: 10 km
11:30 – Reykjavík: We spent the entire noon wandering the streets of Reykjavík, exploring the charming city at a relaxed pace. We stopped at cozy cafés for a coffee break and made our way to the scenic lake, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the vibrant city vibes.
Next point in: 8 km
15:00 – Sky Lagoon: An absolutely breathtaking experience! We indulged in the 7-step ritual, which included a warm lagoon soak, a cold plunge, a sauna with an incredible ocean view, a refreshing mist, and a mineral-rich body scrub. The infinity-edge lagoon itself was stunning, with a bar inside the water, allowing us to sip drinks while enjoying the scenery. We stayed here until after sunset, soaking in the peaceful ambiance as the sky changed colors over the horizon. An unforgettable and relaxing way to unwind.

Best Time to Visit Iceland:
Planning a trip to Iceland? This land of fire and ice offers an unforgettable experience, no matter when you visit. The “best time” to visit depends on what you’re hoping to experience—whether it’s the mesmerizing northern lights, stunning landscapes, or unique Icelandic culture, there’s always something special awaiting you.
Spring (March–May):
Spring in Iceland is a time of renewal. The days get longer, and the landscape begins to thaw, revealing lush greenery and colorful wildflowers. It’s the perfect time for exploring the iconic waterfalls, volcanic landscapes, and geothermal pools without the summer crowds. The weather is unpredictable, but it’s mild enough for hiking and sightseeing. The northern lights are still visible during early spring, making it an ideal time for aurora hunters.
Summer (June–August):
Summer in Iceland is the peak season, with the midnight sun providing 24 hours of daylight in many parts of the country. This is the time to explore the Golden Circle, relax in the Blue Lagoon, or hike the dramatic trails of Landmannalaugar. The summer months bring warmer weather, though it’s still relatively cool by most standards, but it’s the perfect time to see Iceland’s majestic wildlife, including puffins and whales. Keep in mind that this is when Iceland sees its highest number of tourists, so plan ahead for accommodations and tours.
Autumn (September–November):
Autumn in Iceland is a stunning blend of fall foliage and dramatic landscapes. The weather is crisp and refreshing, ideal for exploring the highlands, and you’ll see the first glimpses of the northern lights as the nights get darker. September is harvest season for Icelandic food, making it a great time to sample local delicacies, including freshly caught fish and traditional lamb dishes. The crowds start to thin out, and the landscapes transform into a tapestry of reds, oranges, and golds. It’s a peaceful time to experience the country’s beauty without the summer rush.
Winter (December–February):
Winter in Iceland is the time for the magical northern lights and winter adventures. The days are shorter, but the low winter sun casts a beautiful glow on the snowy landscapes. December is perfect for those wanting to experience Iceland’s festive charm with Christmas markets and celebrations. January and February offer the chance to experience Iceland’s otherworldly ice caves and frozen waterfalls, and if you’re lucky, you’ll witness the aurora borealis in full display. Winter is also the ideal time for those looking to enjoy Iceland’s unique hot springs and cozy up by a fireplace.
Transport & Navigation
During our trip to Iceland, we decided to rent a car to enhance our experience and make the most of the stunning landscapes. Having a car gave us the flexibility to plan our own schedule and explore at our own pace, without being tied to public transport or tour group itineraries. We could stop whenever we saw something breathtaking—whether it was a majestic waterfall, a unique geothermal area, or a quiet spot in the middle of nature.
The car also allowed us to reach remote and less-accessible locations, like hidden beaches, volcanic craters, and remote villages, which are often difficult to reach by public transport. With the freedom to navigate Iceland’s diverse terrain, we could take detours and explore off-the-beaten-path attractions that added a special touch to our journey. If we stumbled upon something intriguing, we could easily adjust our plans and visit it right away.
Renting a car also gave us the freedom to visit famous attractions like the Golden Circle or the South Coast at our convenience, without worrying about strict tour schedules. Whether it was driving through scenic roads or stopping for a quick photo opportunity, having a car made the trip much more enjoyable. If you’re looking for independence, comfort, and the chance to fully experience Iceland, renting a car is definitely the best way to go.
