Classic South Coast (3 Days)

Itinerary created by

Isleifur Eli

What you’ll do

This 3 day adventure hits pretty much all of the iconic spots along the South Coast of Iceland. If this is your first visit here then this itinerary is the one I would definitely recommend.

Note that this itinerary is designed with summer months in mind as that time of year has enough daylight to enjoy each location.

Day 1 - Reykjavík to Vík

This is a long day filled to the brim with adventure so start your day early in Reykjavík with a big breakfast and make sure to grab enough extra food/snacks and drinks to last you until dinner. You can stop by the local supermarkets Krónan or Bónus for the cheapest prices. And then it's time to head down South.
