Iceland had been ane of our most anticipated trips of all time. We (husband together with I) planned it for over half-dozen months. We stalked several go blogs, followed all Instagram accounts featuring Republic of Iceland together with read every article out at that topographic point almost Iceland. What I tin tell you lot from my query is that fifty-fifty a calendar month inwards Republic of Iceland is non enough, equally that's how much that province has to offer, however, almost a calendar week would endure practiced plenty to teach a gustation of the country. In the end, nosotros decided to produce a 5 days/5nights route trip. Sharing my itinerary below.
We landed approximately midnight together with headed straight to SADcars to choice upward our rental for the trip. I had collaborated amongst SADcars for this trip together with I couldn't endure happier. One of their representatives (shoutout to SugarRay) picked us upward from the airport. We reached the machine rental inwards almost xv minutes where our machine was create together with nosotros were on our agency to the hotel presently after. We had deliberately picked an Airport Hotel which was unopen to the rental equally nosotros wanted to hitting the bed ASAP together with source our twenty-four hr current early.
DAY ONE
Next twenty-four hr current nosotros were upward together with create past times 9am. We had our breakfast together with made our agency into the metropolis (Reykjavik). We explored the metropolis middle together with clicked pictures (like duh!). At almost 1PM nosotros had booked an air tour of the National Park which was departing from the domestic airdrome unopen to Reykjavik. You tin cheque out the views inwards the inwards a higher house video. The highlight of the tour was viewing the bright colors of the national common together with genuinely seeing the tectonic plates.
After the air tour, nosotros made our agency to checkout the glacier. More almost the glacier experience inwards this post. After which nosotros caput dorsum to the city, grabbed dinner together with drove to Borgarnes which was our mid spot for where nosotros were headed next.
DAY TWO
This was the coldest together with windiest twenty-four hr current of all. We woke upward early on (ish!) had our breakfast together with made our agency towards Snaefellsnes Peninsula. While the drive together with the scenery was absolutely breathe taking, the air current together with pelting made it extremely hard for us to receive got pictures together with pass equally much fourth dimension equally nosotros would receive got liked out appreciating the nature.
The best conclusion however, was to produce the road trip equally fifty-fifty though the halt were affected past times the weather, nosotros were at to the lowest degree gratis to brand equally many stops equally nosotros desired. We stopped to come across the seals at Ytri-Tunga, to persuasion the scenic views (in spite of the wind; re: video) at Arnarstapi together with diverse spontaneous points to persuasion waterfalls, creeks, together with mountains. For our night's rest nosotros drove to Akureyri.
DAY THREE
Third twenty-four hr current of our trip was the longest, most eventful together with most tiring (rightfully so!). We checked out the most marvelous waterfalls nosotros receive got e'er seen this day:
- Goðafoss
- Dettifoss
After hiking to all the waterfalls together with getting drenched inwards our heavy wintertime coats, nosotros made out agency towards the Mývatn Natural Baths to terminate the day. On our agency nosotros made some other spontaneous halt at Námafjall which is a mount unopen to a volcano together with geothermal area. As cool equally it all was, I genuinely couldn't stand upward the aroma of sulphur. You tin checkout my stinking appear upward inwards the video.
After a relaxing fourth dimension at the natural baths nosotros made our agency to Hofn, which was the most scary drive ever.
DAY FOUR
It is hard to choice a favorite twenty-four hr current but if I was set on a gun indicate I would choice this day, to a greater extent than frequently than non because it was a prissy sunny twenty-four hr current together with I didn't receive got to appear upward whatever winds or rain. We woke upward to ane of the most stunning views ever. I wanted to operate along making videos but eventually realized that the photographic television camera was non doing whatever jurist to the actual beauty. We checked out Jökulsárlón which is a glacier lagoon where you lot tin come across floating pieces of ice. Next nosotros made some other spontaneous conclusion to cheque out Svartifoss, which ended upward beingness a long hike nosotros hadn't anticipated.
Next nosotros were headed to Fjaðrárgljúfur which was some other (shorter) hike but the views of the canyon where unreal. Last but non the to the lowest degree nosotros made our agency to Reynisfjara, the dark beach which likely is ane of the most pop spots inwards Iceland. And it did non disappoint. We made it at that topographic point correct at sunset which was perfect. The sunset was ane of the most beautiful sunsets I had e'er viewed inwards my entire life.
We together with then headed to Hotel Anna, which was our concluding nighttime inwards Iceland. We had anticipated that this would endure the twenty-four hr current when nosotros teach to come across the northern lights together with information technology WAS. While, unfortunately, I was non able to capture it on video, I volition presently portion the pictures nosotros were able to take. Honestly, the trip could non receive got gone whatever better.
DAY FIVE
Last twenty-four hr current inwards Iceland. Le sigh! We checked out (another!) waterfall: Seljalandsfoss (it is a province of waterfalls, what tin I say!), Geysir (hot spring), Gullfoss (located inwards the canyon of the Hvítá river inwards southwest Iceland), Brúarfoss (the most spellbinding of them all!).
Once nosotros had completed everything on our itinerary, nosotros made our agency dorsum to Reykjavik, hung out at a local pub together with reminisced almost the most epic (road) trip nosotros had only completed. We together with then made our agency dorsum to the SADcars, returned the rental together with and then nosotros stopped us dorsum to the airdrome for our next adventure.
