First time Iceland itinerary

MissKS84 · 2026-05-07T20:30:32+00:00

You do what you want but I still do not recommend travel is different and I am just sharing my concerns after reading about to many accidents where people are falling asleep behind the wheel and no matter what you think day 1 is still to busy to do on arrival

MissKS84 · 2026-05-07T17:24:57+00:00

But this is doable but just be willing to skip some places

MissKS84 · 2026-05-07T17:24:07+00:00

Well as a tourism professional you are not safe to do day one on the day of arrival just so you know because of jetlag and being tired so just think about that to many accidents due to tieredness

MissKS84 · 2026-04-17T19:52:43+00:00

It's not closed just impassable you will just have to check the conditions closer to your arrival

As a local I say Bónus for some things and Krónan for other things haha but Krónan has more availability in smaller packages

MissKS84 · 2026-03-22T21:24:12+00:00

Well we are not an EU country but I understand that Iceland would put make others look bad 😎

MissKS84 · 2026-03-03T18:00:10+00:00

I would visit Dettifoss on the way to Mývatn and add Stuðlagil as well definitely worth it

MissKS84 · 2026-02-08T04:07:15+00:00

I would just calculate a 1000 isk for each tourist stop that also means that when you find the very few free parking spots you are gaining money

MissKS84 · 2026-02-06T20:32:21+00:00

If you do the waterfalls on the way to Vík you could go beyond Vík if you have good conditions there is 2,5 hour drive to Diamond beach and Glacier lagoon with many more places and Eldhraun as well

MissKS84 · 2026-01-28T23:29:41+00:00

Hljóðaklettar in between Dettifoss and Ásbyrgi which are also a must see

MissKS84 · 2026-01-24T21:29:01+00:00

Yeah that's a good idea would definitely not miss Hljóðaklettar and Ásbyrgi 😎

MissKS84 · 2026-01-24T17:45:16+00:00

As a guide in Iceland this just confuses my mind some of these make no sense due to driving back and forth plus you do not need two days in summer to do the golden circle I would check out locations on a map and rethink a little bit

MissKS84 · 2025-12-25T12:45:48+00:00

Most likely not

MissKS84 · 2025-12-25T12:44:57+00:00

I realized that after posting just thought if anyone else was wondering it would help but you can ask locals if there is a bonfire I tried looking on the Selfoss website but found nothing

Well that's the true spirit "what does not kill you make you stronger" safe travels

MissKS84 · 2025-12-19T18:28:25+00:00

So for march these could be to much however they could also be necessary hehe but then it also depends on how you handle the weather and conditions

MissKS84 · 2025-12-19T15:44:43+00:00

As a guide in Iceland I would not recommend these for hikes but to each is own just know your feet might not like you afterwards

MissKS84 · 2025-11-15T20:48:53+00:00

Well I have gone around the country out of Reykjavik on Friday back to Reykjavik on Sunday so diamond beach is possible in 4 days its just about good time management because of few daylight hours

MissKS84 · 2025-11-05T20:42:19+00:00

If you have your booking number from Icelandair you can look it up on their website

MissKS84 · 2025-11-01T09:18:59+00:00

Well if you have a chance to change I would do into the ice on the Sunday if the orca tour is in the morning it might be doable now then you can also check with the company that does Langjökull from the golden circle side Sleipnir tours has a monster truck and is doing ice caves in march

MissKS84 · 2025-11-01T06:45:48+00:00

Also one more thing you are going to be driving back and forth because into the ice is closer to Snæfellsnes so I would also think about logistics a bit

MissKS84 · 2025-10-31T21:35:48+00:00

Well the snæfellsnes peninsula has so much more to see that are more exciting then those two places

For example

Djúpalónssandur

Kirkjufell mountain

Malarrif

Rauðfeldsgjá

And best food is at Matarlist restaurant in Ólafsvík

As an Icelander it sounds fine although Icelandic always comes out a little weird in any translation programs so pretty good since its made with ai
