The Ultimate Iceland Ring Road Itinerary

Driving the famous Ring Road highway comes top on the bucket list for many travelers to Iceland. The Flight Network chose the Ring Road in 2019 as one of the World’s Best Once in once-in-a-lifetime journeys. This route wraps all the way around Iceland, except for the uninhabited Highlands in the middle. The main advantage of the Ring Road is that you'll visit all the famous spots everyone talks about. Gorgeous waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, beaches, cliffs, glaciers - you name it. This is the kind of road trip you'll remember forever.

The Ring Road is 1332 kilometers (827.66 miles). That is the basic journey that will get you around the island, leaving out the peninsula of Snæfellsnes and the peninsula-like Westfjords. Everyone who does the Ring Road travels more than this, detouring to do incredible adventure activities, see fabulous places, and crossing mountain passes to stunning and very isolated fjords. 

If you're wondering how long does it take to drive around Iceland, it's important to note that while the Ring Road itself can be driven in roughly 17 hours without stops, most travelers take at least a week to explore and enjoy the various attractions along the way. Even if you do not stray from the main highway very far or very often, you still might drive around 1800 kilometers (1118 miles) in total by the end of it.

For those looking to maximize their experience without the stress of itinerary planning, our guided tours offer a comprehensive and enjoyable way to explore the Ring Road, complete with the knowledge and expertise of local guides.

Either, they are exactly the same. In Iceland, the main road encircles the island is known as the Ring Road and Highway 1, often referred to as Route 1. The roads in Iceland are numbered, and while many Icelanders rarely refer to most roads by their numbers, this particular route is an exception due to its significance and popularity among both locals and tourists. It's the main artery that connects various parts of the country, making it a vital part of any Icelandic road trip.

• Go with a buddy who can share the driving. You will see so much more and can rest when you want! Even if you love driving, missing out on the scenery is no fun.
  
  
• Make a list of the things you want to do at various locations and plan enough time to do them. If you want to go rafting on the Hvítá river, snowmobiling, or even snowmobiling and ice caving on Langjökull glacier or whale watching in Dalvík – factor in enough time, and it will all be fabulous.
  
  
• Allow the activities you want to do and your must-see places to determine where you will stay at night.
  
  
• Pack snacks. You might drive for longer distances without seeing any restaurants or gas stations, and having a picnic in a nice location is also just a wonderful option. Just remember, leave no trace!

To really get the best out of your Iceland road trip, you should allow at least 5 days, although a week can be better, and 4 days is very tight! If you only have 4 days, prioritize your absolutely top activities and sights – you cannot do everything. Creating a well-thought-out Iceland road trip itinerary is crucial, especially if your time is limited. This itinerary should include your must-see destinations and activities while considering driving times and rest periods. 

Driving takes longer in winter conditions, and daylight is shorter, so bear this in mind when scheduling your itinerary. If you want to fit in loads of activities and deviate a lot from the beaten path, 10 days or more is not too long. Consider our Ring Road tours for a more relaxed pace and in-depth exploration of off-the-beaten-path locations.

Which direction should you drive the Ring Road Iceland? Most people travel anti-clockwise, visiting the south before heading towards the east. Going south is best for first-time drivers in Iceland because then you will have some experience when you get to slightly more difficult roads.

Yes, most definitely, although, particularly in winter, a 4×4 can have advantages. Most activities and detours can be reached with a small car via paved roads, but not all. Mountain roads need a 4×4 with appropriate insurance. Some magical places, such as Borgarfjörður Eystri, can only be reached by unpaved roads. So, plan what you want to do than hire the vehicle you need.

If you are used to driving in ice, snow, and poor visibility, then have no worries. Otherwise, consider whether a summer self-drive or a winter tour would be best for you. The Ring Road is kept as clear of ice and snow as possible, so it is rare for sections to be closed. If your detours take you onto remote roads, you are far more likely to encounter road closures.

Here is more on the debate Self Drive vs. Guided tour in Iceland.

Many visiting Iceland wish to do the Ring Road but are unsure if their driving skills are good enough. Then joining a Ring Road Tour is the perfect option! The Ring Road tour can be done in 6,7 and 8 days, and then you can just sit back and relax while your driver makes sure you don’t miss any of the highlights and tells you everything about the landscapes, flora, and fauna. This option is especially recommended for those who are not used to driving in snow but still wish to do the Ring Road in winter.

Additionally, a winter journey along the Ring Road offers the spectacular opportunity to witness the Northern Lights. These ethereal lights are often visible from various points along the route without venturing far from the main road. The winter months provide longer nights, increasing your chances of seeing this incredible natural display. So, as you traverse Iceland's stunning landscapes, keep an eye on the night sky for a chance to experience the magical aurora borealis!

Now let’s dive into a unique 10-day Icelandic journey! We'll explore offbeat paths like the Tröllaskagi Peninsula and Borgarfjörður, discover the diverse Reykjanes Peninsula, and wrap up with a full day in Reykjavík, exploring its city life more deeply than most. This trip is all about mixing well-known sights with Iceland's hidden gems for a truly memorable experience.

Activities: Visiting Golden Circle sites and exploring the South Coast.

Let’s head south, but before you leave Reykjavík, you must point the car north! Follow the Ring Road north, then quickly turn right onto the road signposted to Þingvellir, the first of your famous Golden Circle sights. 

See an erupting geyser at Geysir geothermal area, then head to Gullfoss Waterfall. This is a pick-up point for snowmobile tours, or you could follow the road up to Drumoddstaðir for a river rafting tour – if you want to try these, there is no time like now! 

Returning to the Ring Road, you are traveling the south coast with its wealth of sightseeing delights – grand waterfalls, villages, and the amazing black beach at Reynisfjara are just a few. The areas near Vík, Skógar, and Skaftafell are all good overnight stopping places. 

You might not want to go too far if you have spent more time on activities. Sólheimajökull glacier is just a short detour from the Ring Road; a 15-minute walk from the car park will bring you to a great point to capture views of this majestic glacier. Why not explore it with a sensational glacier hike?

After a day of marveling at the waterfalls and black sand beaches of South Iceland, relax at the Adventure Hotel Geirland. This hotel, nestled in the heart of South Iceland, offers stunning mountain views and is conveniently located near top attractions like the Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon and Skaftafell Nature Reserve. With 40 rooms, free parking, Wi-Fi, and a breakfast buffet, it's an ideal stop to recharge.

A short hike will bring you to one of the most incredible waterfalls in Iceland, Svartifoss, the black waterfall; its white shimmering cascade is framed by massive hexagonal black basalt columns. If you missed out on a glacier hike yesterday, you get a 2nd chance at Skaftafell today – easy or more challenging – your choice! 

Depending on how much time you spend enjoying activities and sights, you could visit the stunning Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon today or leave that wonder for tomorrow. The tip is to give yourself plenty of time and enjoy the majesty of the huge, crazily shaped icebergs floating on the ice lagoon beneath Vatnajökull glacier, the amazing Diamond Beach. Some once-in-a-lifetime tours include glacier hiking, ice caving, ice lagoon kayaking, and boat tours from Jökulsárlón. 

Ideally, your accommodation for the night must be between Skaftafell and Höfn, the lobster capital of Iceland. If you have left Jökulsárlón for tomorrow, you would need to back-track around 80 km from Höfn – so bear your likely itinerary in mind when planning accommodation.

As you journey through the scenic South Coast, consider a stay at Adventure Hotel Hof. nestled in Iceland's Öræfi region, is an ideal stop for travelers exploring the South Coast and East Fjords. It offers a strategic base for your adventures just a stone's throw from Hofskirkja church and a short drive to Vatnajökull National Park and Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.

Then, drive towards the amazing East Fjords. The scenery is fantastic as the road wends in and out, gray ribbon threading its way between the ocean and the mountains. Sharp fjords cut deeply into ragged-toothed mountains – there are many safe stopping places to admire insane views. 

The distance from Höfn to Egilsstaðir is 187 km. The largest forests in Iceland are in the area around Egilsstaðir. This town has good services and supermarkets, so it is a great place to stock up on provisions. Lake Lagarfljót, a picturesque lake, is home to Lagarfljótsormurinn, the fabled and famous giant water worm, which is said to reside in the shadowy depths of the lake.

For a rejuvenating experience, make a stop at Vök Baths near Egilsstaðir. These unique floating geothermal pools on Lake Urriðavatn offer a serene and scenic spot to relax and enjoy the area's natural beauty.

There are lovely hikes and waterfalls in this area. Some people like to stay around Egilsstaðir, but you can cross the mountains to stay at either Seyðisfjörður or Reyðarfjörður. Whether you stay there overnight or not, the tip is to visit Seyðisfjörður! Eskifjörður, or Reyðarfjörður – there are just too many really great fjords. If you want a magic moment in Iceland, try Seyðisfjörður walk under the midnight sun. But you are welcome to find your own favorite things to do in East Iceland.

Not far away, you will find Myvatn Nature Baths. An hour or two spent relaxing in these mineral-rich waters, surrounded by lunar-like views, is a marvelous treat for mind, body, and soul. Alternatively, consider visiting the GeoSea Geothermal Baths in Húsavík. These unique sea baths provide a different kind of relaxation with stunning ocean views and healing waters.

From the otherworldly Dimmuborgir lava formations, known as ‘the Dark Castles,’ to the extraordinary boiling mud pots and steam-exuding fumaroles at Námafjall, the sights in this area will get your camera working overtime! As you edge closer to Akureyri, you will come across Goðafoss waterfall. Its glorious crescent shape will probably be familiar to you; this iconic image has adorned so many photographs and paintings.

A drive alongside Eyjafjörður, Iceland’s longest fjord, will bring you to Akureyri, sitting like a precious jewel, almost at the apex of the Fjord. Take some time to explore this town because it is a total stunner. Spending the night in or around Akureyri will place you in pole position for tomorrow. 

Consider the Forest Lagoon Spa near Akureyri for a more secluded and intimate experience. Nestled in a serene forest setting, it's a perfect spot to relax and soak in the tranquil surroundings. 

One tip – book yourself a whale-watching tour from Dalvík, ready for tomorrow! Fast RIB boat or standard boat – for you to choose!

Whether you're a 'Game of Thrones' fan or just love capturing nature's beauty, this mountain is a must-see. The surrounding area is equally stunning with its waterfalls and coastal views.

But that's not all the peninsula has to offer. Villages like Arnarstapi and Hellnar are sprinkled along the coast, each with its own unique character. In Arnarstapi, take a stroll along the harbor, watch the waves crash against the dramatic cliffs, and maybe even spot some seabirds going about their day. Hellnar, with its quaint houses and peaceful atmosphere, is the perfect spot to grab a coffee and just soak in the views. 

If you feel like staying here longer, there are many more exciting things to do in Snaefellsnes.

As the day winds down, consider staying at Adventure Hotel Hellissandur right on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. This hotel offers easy access to the Snæfellsjökull National Park, Skarðsvík beach, and other local attractions. Here, you can unwind, plan your upcoming day, and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Iceland's west coast.

Day 7 takes you back towards Reykjavík, but not before you dive into the wonders of Borgarfjörður. Start your day at the Hraunfossar and Bjarnarfoss waterfalls. Hraunfossar isn't your typical waterfall; it's a series of streams seeping through a lava field, creating a magical, almost surreal scene. A short walk away, Bjarnarfoss churns with energy and local legends, adding a bit of mystery to your visit.

Next, feel Iceland's raw power at Deildartunguhver, Europe's mightiest hot spring. The steam and bubbling water here showcase the geothermal forces at play under Iceland's surface. It's a spot where you can't help but feel the earth's energy.

Your first destination is Glymur, Iceland's second-highest waterfall. Here, you can go on a hike through a verdant valley that leads you to stunning views at the summit. 

It's a bit of a challenge but totally doable for anyone with a reasonable fitness level. The reward at the end is more than worth it: a spectacular view of the waterfall plunging into the deep canyon below. The entire hike takes about 3 to 4 hours round trip, so it's a great way to immerse yourself in Iceland's natural beauty without taking up your whole day.

After the exhilarating hike, take a step back in time at the Settlement Exhibition in Borgarnes.

Next up, the Krýsuvík geothermal area awaits. Here, you'll wander among hissing steam vents, boiling mud pots, and vibrant mineral deposits. It's like walking on the surface of another planet. Make sure to check out the Seltún geothermal area within Krýsuvík, where wooden walkways lead you safely around this steaming wonderland.

Don't leave without visiting the Bridge between Continents. This small footbridge over a major geological fault marks where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. It's a literal and symbolic bridge between worlds and a great spot for a memorable photo.

Wrap up your day with a return to Reykjavík, ready for a relaxing evening.

Reykjavík combines modern urban life with rich cultural heritage, making it the perfect finale to your Icelandic journey.

Hidden Gem: Grótta Lighthouse – A perfect spot for a scenic walk and birdwatching, especially during sunset, located at the edge of Reykjavík.

Look around and rent the cheapest suitable vehicle. Next, think about accommodation. In summer, camping is the cheapest way to go, and hostels are a good and reasonably cheap option anytime; check out booking.com for bargains and Airbnb, too. 

Cooking your own food most of the time will save you mega bucks. Stock up on provisions whenever you are in a larger town. My tip is to prioritize at least one amazing activity – if standing on a glacier would be your moment of crowning glory, go for that. If diving is your thing, explore the depths of Silfra Fissure. Whatever would be the glittering prize for you – just do it!

To really soak in the beauty of Iceland along the Ring Road, aim for 10 to 14 days. This gives you enough time to venture off the main path, enjoy leisurely photo ops, and take those all-important snacks and stretch breaks.

Absolutely! A 6 or 7-day trip is a fantastic way to see Iceland's highlights. It's a perfect fit for a round trip from Reykjavík, with stops at gems like Vík, Höfn, Mývatn, and Skagafjörður.

It really boils down to what you want to see and how much time you have. The Golden Circle is great for a shorter trip, hitting up famous spots like Þingvellir National Park, Geysir, and Gullfoss. The Ring Road, meanwhile, takes you on a grander tour of Iceland, showcasing diverse landscapes and numerous attractions.

For summer trips sticking mainly to the Ring Road, a 2WD will do just fine. But if you're visiting in winter or planning to explore the highlands, then a 4WD becomes essential.

Driving the entire Ring Road non-stop takes around 17 hours. But remember, that's without counting in all the scenic stops, breaks, and any unexpected delays.

Yes, a 6-day itinerary is totally doable for a quick yet fulfilling tour of Iceland's main Ring Road attractions.

Eight days is a sweet spot for the Ring Road, balancing sightseeing and travel time nicely.

Driving the Ring Road is generally safe, but it's crucial to stay alert for changing weather, single-lane bridges, and the occasional animal crossing in more rural areas.

The cost can vary, depending on your choices for car rental, accommodation, food, and activities. To keep on top of your budget, it's wise to plan and book ahead, especially during peak seasons.
