This is because youll be stopping a lot. Like every 5 minutes The photography opportunities in Iceland are unbelievable, and youll find yourself constantly pulling over for photos. I gave myself 7 days to drive the Ring Road and almost didnt make it back to Reykjavik in time. Weather can also be a factor if you are traveling in the fall or winter, as sudden snowstorms are common, and roads can be treacherous or even impassable. My Happy Campers Van. A Peek Inside the Van. Camper Van Rental. Renting a car for your Iceland road trip is essential. Sure, there are bus tours that drive the route, but a self drive tour is a way to go. You can stop anywhere you want, for as long as you want, giving you complete freedom. I drove the ring road in Iceland with a Happy Campers van. The major benefit of renting a camper is that it covers your accommodation too, enabling you to pull over and sleep pretty much anywhere. It was perfect to maximize my time exploring photographing landscapes. My van was equipped with a fold down bed, sink with running water, electric cooler, gas grill, battery powered heating system and a large solar panel. The vans are modern easy to drive, fitted with studded tires which came in handy for a few icy mountain passes I encountered on the route. They also have 44 models available. Exploring Icelands Back Roads. Planning An Iceland Road Trip. Gas Stations. Gas is expensive in Iceland at 2 USD per liter 7. Gas stations are easy to find around towns, but in the countryside, they are less frequent. Some foreign credit cards may need to be used inside rather than at the pump. Fill up whenever you can, especially in winter, just in case youre stuck in a snowstorm overnight. Gas for the entire ring road journey cost me about 3. USD. Groceries. Stock up on groceries before you leave for your road trip. Iceland has a famous budget supermarket called Bnus thats perfect for this. You cant miss it the logo is a giant cartoon pig. Many gas stations along the ring road also offer pre made sandwiches, hot soup, and basic groceries for sale too. So you can buy some general food supplies along the way. GPS Mobile Phone. If your cellphone is unlocked, you can buy a local prepaid Icelandic SIM card from the Vodafone store at Kringlan Shopping Mall in Reykjavik. This gives you access to GPS maps, internet data, emergency services, and local weather reports. Accommodation. If you arent camping or sleeping in a van, youll probably want to pre book your accommodation in advance depending on the season. Try browsing guesthouse or hotel options on Booking. What Should You See Id recommend picking a few highlights and loosely planning your journey around them. Most people start their Ring Road adventure from Reykjavik or Keflavik Airport. Below youll find my suggested itinerary with highlights you shouldnt miss, plus a few adventure activities that must be booked in advance. Thingvellir National Park. DAY 1 The Golden Circle. The Golden Circle is a short 1 day road trip which I covered in a separate article. Its a great place to start your adventure. Some of the highlights include Thingvellir National Park where the Earths tectonic plates are being ripped apart, exploding geysers, and the impressive Gullfoss Waterfall. After driving the Golden Circle, a good place to spend the night is around the town of rborg. From here you can get back onto Route 1 and the main Ring Road route in the morning. Rainbow at Skgafoss Waterfall. DAY 2 Rainbows Glaciers. Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. Your next stop is perfect for incredible sunrises, so wake up early Seljalandsfoss Waterfall MAP rises some 2. Shooting photos behind the waterfall at sunrise can be difficult with all the spray though. Another good photo location is from a hill on the right, just be careful because its slippery climbing up. Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. Skgafoss Waterfall. After that you can drive to Skgafoss MAP, another massive beautiful waterfall only minutes away. About the same height as Seljalandsfoss, but much wider and more powerful. Colorful rainbows are a common occurrence here. A wooden stairway brings you to a viewing platform on the top. Ice Climbing with Arctic Adventures. Hiking Slheimajkull Glacier. One activity you cant do on your own is hiking glaciers. If youve never hiked a glacier before, I highly recommend itThe guys at Arctic Adventures have a few different glacier hiking trips that include ice climbing. If youre driving the Ring Road, you can book a trip and just meet your guide at the glacier. Slheimasandur Plane Crash. Slheimasandur Plane Crash. The abandoned airplane wreckage on Slheimasandur Beach is one of Icelands most iconic photography locations. Back in 1. 97. 3 a United States Navy DC 3 crashed on the beach here. You can drive out to the plane and explore what remains IF you know where to look. Luckily I wrote up detailed directions for you If youre not camping out, the next best place to spend the night is in the coastal town of Vik. There are a few guesthouses, a hostel, small grocery store, and a restaurant. Jkulsrln Iceberg Lagoon. DAY 3 Icebergs Ice Caves. Jkulsrln Iceberg Lagoon. Breiamerkurjkull glacier is slowly melting, with giant blue tinted icebergs breaking off and floating into a lagoon. The ice collects on the shores while some pieces drift out to sea. Jkulsrln glacier lagoon is such a cool place pun intended that you can easily spend most of the day here. Dont forget to visit the ocean nearby, where icebergs wash up on shore from the waves. Icebergs Floating Under Route 1. Crystal Ice Caves. If youre traveling in Iceland for photography, you cant miss the crystal ice caves under Vatnajkull glacier. Meltwater creates these intricate natural ice tunnels, with sunlight filtering through the ice giving them a blue tint.
