Why we love it

“This self-driving trip around Iceland takes in this magical country's top sites. Starting in Reykjavik, explore the trendy town centre with its incredible restaurants and cool nightlife before driving on the Golden Circle to explore Iceland's most popular sightseeing trail at your own pace. Discover gushing geysers, roaring waterfalls and ethereal lakes before hopping down to the south coast to walk on those famous black sand beaches. End your trip soaking in the hot waters of the geothermal spa at the Blue Lagoon, set on an ancient lava field, for an end-of-trip experience like no other. We are on hand to help add any additional activities to your trip such as snorkelling between tectonic plates, riding Icelandic ponies, hiking up glaciers and much more.”
