What you’ll do

This itinerary will take you all around Iceland and show you the absolute best spots. This itinerary is designed for camper vans with a suggestion of the best camp sites. However you can use the same one and find hotels in similar areas.

The route will take you to all the famous highlights along the south coast, then over to the glaciers, wast fjords and finally the north. Along the way you’ll find some secret hot springs and magical canyon hikes. I’m also recommending my favourite restaurant tips around Iceland if you don’t want to cook in your van every night. Enjoy Iceland!
