As the name suggests, this is an itinerary for
the more budget-conscious traveller who
wishes to see as much of Iceland as possible.
Based on the circular route around the island
with breakfast included,
using an economy car rental and
accommodation with shared facilities, this is
an affordable alternative vacation for many.
Day 1: Following your arrival at Keflavik Iceland, transfer by bus into Reykjavik and overnight at a guesthouse. Day 2: Pick up your car this morning and travel north around Snaefellsnes peninsula and the westward tip of Iceland. Day 3: Today you will drive east to Akureyri or to Storutjarni for a two night stay. Either location provides an ideal base from which to explore the many attractions in this part of the country. Day 4: Visit the city of Akureyri with its fjord scenery; head out to Godafoss, "waterfall of the Gods"; to Husavik, a primary centre for whale-watching cruises, or to Lake Myvatn with its natural wonders and hot springs. Day 5: Drive east to Dettifoss, the most powerful waterfall in Europe and continue to the picturesque East Fjords where you will overnight. Day 6: Turn south and west towards Hofn. In this area you will have time to explore incredible waterfalls and Skaftafell National Park. Tonight's accommodation is in near Hofn, Vik or Skogar. Day 7: Head inland for today to the
"golden circle" territory for two nights. Please note that this tour program may be extended should you wish to spend longer in Iceland. |
