What you’ll do

The Perfect 7 Day trip around Iceland Via the Ring Road. This guide includes the best campsites, waterfalls and stops along the way!

Day Total

243.1 km (151 mi)

3 hr 50 min

Day 1: Most flights will get you into Iceland in the morning and you will be both stoked to get going and also likely tired and needing some recovery and food. I highly suggest heading to a hot springs, like the Blue Lagoon(Book in advance) and then heading into Reykjavik to do a food tour, do your grocery shopping and get ready to hit tomorrow running! On your way to your first campsite you will pass a super neat Waterfall called Seljalandfoss and since you are hitting it towards the end of the day it should be fairly empty giving you an awesome experience. Head on over to the Skogar Campsite and be ready to be amazed in the morning waking up to the mighty waterfall that is Skogafoss.
