  • Days 1-2

    Reykjavik & Golden Circle

    Visit Reykjavik's main attractions like Hallgrimskirkja church and the old harbor. Start your Golden Circle tour early to avoid crowds at Thingvellir National Park. At Geysir wait 5-8 minutes between eruptions to get great photos. Visit Gullfoss waterfall in mid-afternoon when sunlight creates beautiful rainbows in the mist. Stay overnight near Hella.

    
  • Days 3-4

    South Coast & Glacier Lagoon

    Visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall before 9am to beat the crowds. You can walk behind it but bring a raincoat. Take a quick hike to the hidden Gljúfrabúi waterfall nearby. Be careful at Reynisfjara black sand beach and watch for dangerous sneaker waves. A recent visitor shared: "The hotel near Jökulsárlón was basic but perfectly located for sunrise glacier lagoon photos - worth the early wake-up call."

    
  • Days 5-6

    East Fjords & Lake Mývatn

    Drive through the East Fjords to reach Möðrudalur Iceland's highest settlement at 469m. Watch your step at Dettifoss waterfall as trails can be slippery. You'll need proper hiking boots. Spend 2-3 hours at Lake Mývatn Nature Baths which is less busy and cheaper than Blue Lagoon. Pack a head net if visiting in summer as midges can be numerous.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Akureyri & Westfjords

    Take time to see Akureyri's botanical garden and Godafoss waterfall. The scenic drive around Tröllaskagi peninsula has narrow roads so plan extra time. Stop in Ísafjörður for local fish soup. Remember most Westfjords roads aren't paved so check conditions before driving.

    
  • Days 9-10

    Látrabjarg & Red Beach

    Watch puffins at Látrabjarg cliffs from May to August but stay safely back from the edge. Visit Rauðasandur red beach knowing its color changes with weather and tides. Check tide schedules before going. Stock up on food and fuel when possible as this area is remote.

    
  • Days 11-13

    Snæfellsnes Peninsula & Return

    Explore Snæfellsnes peninsula often called "Iceland in miniature." Walk the 30-minute coastal path at Arnarstapi. Stop at Hraunfossar's lava waterfalls before heading back to Reykjavik through the underwater tunnel (2000 ISK toll).

    Drive northeast to Hvitserkur rock formation (3 hours). Visit during low tide to get closer to the formation. You might want to try the unique Beer Spa in Bjórböðin. Winter travelers should focus on reaching Akureyri since daylight is limited from October to March.

  • Day 7

    Glacier Lagoon Area

    See Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls. Good advice from a visitor: "Bring a raincoat for walking behind Seljalandsfoss, and waterproof your camera gear." You can add a glacier hike at Sólheimajökull if weather is good. Sleep in the Hvolsvöllur area.

    
  • Day 9

    Visit Þingvellir National Park early before crowds arrive at 10 AM. Next up: Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir area. A helpful tip: "Park at the furthest lot at Geysir for easier access to the best viewing spots for Strokkur's eruptions."

    
  • Days 10-11

    Reykjavik

    Take two days to explore the capital. Start at Hallgrímskirkja church at 9 AM opening. A local insight: "We found the best city views from Perlan's observation deck, especially during sunset hours around 9-10 PM in summer."
