What you’ll do

This is the ultimate Ring Road Adventure.

You can either do this tour by staying at hotels around Iceland - or rent a camper van.

In the wintertime, I suggest getting a 4x4 but all can be done in a regular vehicle which is also a lot cheaper.

I usually recommend starting with the South Coast and traveling counter-clock wise around Iceland. This will ensure that you have enough time to explore the highlights on the South Coast and adjust your itinerary if needed.

Grab some cinnamon buns at the bakery in the morning before heading out on the road. If you need to do groceries, I suggest doing it in Kronan in Selfoss. There’s a lot on the list so don’t stress about making it for all the spots. Just prioritise and allow for some time for unexpected stops along the way - I find they’re often the most meaningful.
