The Ultimate Ring Road Road Trip: A 6 Day Iceland Itinerary

Iceland recently exploded onto the travel scene. Each year, more and more people visit the Land of Fire and Ice.

If you haven’t been to Iceland yet, a Ring Road road trip in Iceland should be on your bucket list.

You can fill one week in Iceland with this itinerary or even add a couple of other stops. If you are planning a trip to Iceland, start saving now though. Iceland is expensive!

Day 1: Iceland’s Golden Circle in One Day

Make sure to rent WiFi or a GPS as well. We rented WiFi and used the maps on our phones. This option was easy and also allowed us to look up things as we went.

Make sure to fill up your gas tank often. We tried to keep the gas tank over half full. Sometimes you drive long stretches of Ring Road without seeing any gas stations or other stops.

A QUICK STOP IN THINGVELLIR NATIONAL PARK

There is a viewing platform where you can look down the river and across at the waterfall.

Day 2: Chasing the Best Waterfalls on Iceland’s South Coast

We spent most of the second day exploring some of the best and most popular waterfalls along the southern coast of Iceland.

SOUTHERN ICELAND’S BEST WATERFALL: HAIFOSS

Make sure to take it slow as there are some big rocks and potholes in the road. Pay attention to the conditions of the road, especially if it is wet.
