Road trip Iceland

5 days · Iceland

Trip planning: 5-day Iceland itinerary with 4 stops. Real route, nights, and traveller tips you can use when planning your own multi-stop trip.

I’ve seen both women and men travelling solo. There aren’t many people along the route, so it’s more of a journey where it’s just you and nature. There are many places where you can park your van overnight or stay at campsites.

Itinerary

1. Reykjavik

   2 nights

2. Skogafoss

   2 nights

   One of the most famous waterfalls. The day before we stayed at Hvolsvollur camp site and we went to visit the waterfall in the morning. The good thing to rent a car/van is that along the way, you can find craters, geysers, and other incredible natural wonders

   2 nights
