Full island loop
Ring Road Explorer
Circle the whole island — glaciers, fjords, lava fields and lagoons — at an unhurried pace.
Overview
This is the trip for first-timers who want it all, and for returning travellers who want to finally slow down and see it properly.
We travel clockwise from Reykjavík with never more than four hours of driving a day, leaving room for unplanned stops: a herd of reindeer, a roadside hot pot, a sky that suddenly turns green.
Highlights
Cruise among icebergs on Jökulsárlón
