In July 2024 we headed to Iceland to take on the full ring road trip in 10 days with a packed itinerary featuring as many beautiful locations as we could possibly fit in - including the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. We hired a car from the airport and had pre-booked hotels around the entire country so knew where we had to get to by the end of each day and although some days involved around 300km driving, we stopped at enough places to really break it down and make it feel less of an issue.
What a spectacular trip and anyone wanting to do this trip I would recommend everywhere we stopped at. I have included all of the names of the locations we stopped at in the video.
We completed the route Clockwise, beginning in Reykjavik and heading north towards Snaefellsnes and then onto Akureyri before enjoying the Eastern Fjords and then the more popular south coast. Some of the highlights include Kirkjufell, Glymur Waterfall, Dettifoss, Stuðlagil Canyon, Stokksnes, Diamond Beach, Dyrhólaey Viewpoint and Skogafoss.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed the trip!
