Incredible 5 day adventure on the South Coast. The entire trip can be done in a regular vehicle (no 4x4 needed).
I've added a mix of highlights as well as my favourite places to stay and eat. And importantly, where to get coffee while on the road.
There are also other good budget options in terms of accommodation on booking.com however those on the map are the ones I like the most with and think will give you the best experience.
Day 1 is about the Golden Circle and all the amazing places that this area has to offer. Don’t worry if you can’t make it for all the stops I’ve listed. This is just for inspiration - choose what you’re most excited about. I definitely would say that Brúarfoss and the game of Thrones Canyon are pretty cool - as well as Ice cream at Efsti Dalur and tomato soup at Fridheimar. Make sure to book in advance if you decide to have lunch at Friðheimar since they’re also fully booked.
If you’re running short on time, then consider skipping/prioritising a few spots along the way. Like skipping Fontana if short on time.
