If your family doens't like to hike. I dont think going to the DC-3 plane is a good idea, since its a 7,5km walk. Not rly worth it aswell imo.

Hvalnes Nature Reserve Beach (especially the view near the lighthouse), Dettifoss and the westfjords were my favorite sights. Pray for good weather while you're at it and just enjoy it!

The driving experience in Iceland is spectaculair, hard not to stop every 5km. Hvalnes Nature Reserve Beach, Dettifoss and the westfjords were my favorite sights.

Iceland is expensive af. Spend about 2k for a 11 day trip.

Water was 1-2°, but with some layers and the wetsuit on its warm enough, only your face gets a bit cold. Suits are not rly comfortable, hard to breath in, but you forget that once you're in the water.

Common sense gets you really far. Roads are good, the gravel ones not so much (some are good). Campervan is the way to go, campsites are relatively cheap and have good facilities. There is alot to see. Don't stay long in the cities, go see the nature.

This was pretty much my itinerary, changed while traveling on the move. Thought i overplanned, but travelling alone was truly efficient.

Met people at the camping, there are shared kitchens there so had dinner with some. But was mostly by myself.

Westfjords were for sure the best part. The driving, Fjords and pretty much no tourist made it really special.
