An 8-night Self-drive South Coast Itinerary
Taking in some of the same sights but also leading your further along the south coast, this itinerary has the benefit of allowing you to travel under your own steam while knowing that everything, including accommodation en route, has been taken care of for you.
After visiting the Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik and the Golden Circle, you’ll continue along the coast to Vik, past waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes and black-sand beaches. Past Vik, you’ll continue your journey on Iceland’s iconic Route 1 as far as the Vatnajökull glacier area, where the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon with its icebergs floating out to sea is a mesmerising sight. Further recommendations in this compelling area are Skaftafell National Park with its hiking routes including the easy hike to magnificent Svartifoss Waterfall.
Returning west, you’ll have time to see attractions you might have missed on the way out, adding in optional activities that we can advise you on, before enjoying your final day in Reykjavik.
