This 10-day itinerary follows Iceland’s famous Ring Road, allowing you to experience the country’s most diverse landscapes while completing a full loop around the island at a comfortable pace.
You’ll explore the waterfalls and black sand beaches of the South Coast, hike on a glacier in Skaftafell, visit the iconic Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, drive through the scenic Eastfjords, discover the geothermal landscapes around Lake Mývatn, and continue along the dramatic coastline of the Troll Peninsula before finishing the journey on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Compared to shorter Ring Road itineraries, this version includes a two-night stay in the Skaftafell glacier region, giving you more flexibility for activities like glacier hikes, ice caves, or boat tours on the glacier lagoon. The route through North Iceland is split between Mývatn and the Troll Peninsula, allowing you to experience both the volcanic landscapes of the north and the scenic coastal drive around the peninsula.
Optional stops are included throughout the route so you can adjust the pace depending on weather, daylight hours, and energy levels.
This itinerary is best suited for travelers visiting Iceland for the first time who want to experience the full Ring Road without rushing through the highlights.
