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!

Welcome to Iceland! This is your first day on the road., heading out on the famous ring road of Iceland.

If you’re driving a camper van, it’s a good idea to stock up on food before leaving Reykjavik. Along the route you will have supermarkets about every second day so you don’t need to buy food for a full week, but it’s good to have at least a few days of groceries to start with.

Then drive south towards the coast. There’s a lot to see in this area so depending on when you leave Reykjavik you may not have time for it all. The hot spring hike is amazing but does take close to 4 hours so keep that in mind.

End the day camping by Seljalandsfoss waterfall
