What you’ll do

This adventure will take you through the South Coast and up into the highlands to Mælifell and down to Þórsmörk.

Things to know before you go:

The highlands are only open in the summer, you can check to see if roads are open here https://umferdin.is

For this trip a 4x4 is required and you will need one that is specifically allowed into the highlands by your rental company, GoCampers hava a few higland models available here and you can get 5% off with code: eli5

You also need to be comfortable driving in rough conditions and through water as there are a few river crossings along the way.

Also note that water levels in the river crossings can change depending on weather.

Some places in the higlands have very limited or even no cell service at all, so make sure to have offline maps saved on your phone in case you get lost.

Weather can be unpredictable so be prepared, and keep a close eye on the forecast.

Day 1 - South Coast

You will start your journey by exploring the beautiful South Coast of Iceland.

Make sure to stock up on food/snacks and drinks for the trip at one of the local supermarkets (Bónus, Krónan) before heading out.
