We are Linda (24), Luca (22) and Jasmin (25) from Switzerland who want to travel through Iceland the first two weeks of May. We will land in Reykjavik and rent a car there. We are planning to do a full roundtrip, see here the most important stops: Reykjavik - Thingvellir - Thorsmörk - Vestmannaeyjar - Vik - Vatnajökul National Park - Myvatn - Snaefell. Our plan is to see as much as possible of the beautiful nature. We want to do some activities that will cost money, like diving and whale watching. On the other side we would like to save some money with cheap places to sleep, like hostels. We will go hiking, not the most dificult routes. We would like to go swim in wells and will stop at different waterfalls and different tourist attractions on our way. We want to be spontaneous, so if you have any additional ideas to what you want to see/do, you can just ask, we are open to suggestions 😊 We are looking for one additional kind person to join us, who likes to drive (especially on difficult routes), is chill, likes nature and talks in the evening with a drink. We are there to just enjoy our time and see some of the most beautiful sceneries. Is this you? Please contact us, before booking. Lodging: the lodging is not yet booked, as we do not now how many we exactly are, but we will rent double rooms, with single beds. We calculated with less than 50€ per night in Hostels. We do already have a list of Hostels, just did not book yet. Please let us know when you want to know more. Included: lodging, car rental, tourist attractions, fuel Not included in the costs: food and drinks, flight costs We are aware that the expenses seem really high. We did not calculate sharp. If we will not use all the money that you payed, we garantee to pay you back your money.

Reiseverlauf
1
Reykjavík
Tag 1-2
We will spend 2 days here, getting to know the capital. Just walking through the city, visit the rainbow road, Phallusmuseum. Our plan is to do whale watching here. We will rent the car afterwards and start the journey.
2
Grindavík
Tag 2
We drive to Grindavik by car and hike from there to Fagradalsfjall in about 2hours to have a look at this active volcano. After return we plan to relax in the blue lagoon in Grindavik and just walk around town.
3
Nationalpark Thingvellir
Tag 2-4
Planned is to go diving in Silfra (with a tourguide and totally for beginners) which is in this area. Not a problem for us, if you don't want to go! Also we want to go hiking there and visit some small attractions.
4
Strokkur
Tag 4
This is one of the most important tourist attractions in the south of iceland and part of the popular « golden circle ». We would make a short stop there for 1-2 hours, take in the nature, eat and enjoy.
5
Gullfoss
Tag 4-5
This waterfall is a short stop on our journey, about 1 hours and we would like to go there in the morning, as this is a popular waterfall in the golden circle. The waterfall has 2 levels and we would like to walk around to see both levels.
6
Þórsmörk
Tag 5-6
We would like to do a daytrip to this area, also known as "valley of gods". It is diffult and dangerous to go there by car, so we decided we want to do a guided day tour with additional stops at Seljalandsfoss, etc.
7
Vestmannaeyjar
Tag 6-7
On the Westman Island we will stay overnight and our plan is to observe puffins, hike on Heimaklettur, visit Sea Life Trust and see Halldorsskora. We are unsure on whether we will take the car with us or leave it somewhere.
8
Skógafoss
Tag 7
This waterfall is a short stop on our journey, about 1 hours and we would like to go there in the morning, as this is a popular waterfall. We will climb the stairs to enjoy the view from top of the waterfall.
9
Vík í Mýrdal
Tag 7
This is a small village, where we would like to walk around, visit the popular black beach and have a walk to the cliffs near the town. Also very popular, so the earlier we go there, the less crowded it will be.
10
Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon
Tag 7-8
Another short stop at a canyon with several viewpoints to take beautiful pictures. We want to walk through and enjoy the scenery. We will be there for about 1-2 hours. It its a quite known attraction, so it will have some humans around.
11
Svartifoss
Tag 8
We will stop at the entrance of the Skaftafell national park and hike to the waterfall. This takes about 2 hours to get there and you can walk further to a platform with exeptional view. The basalt that frames this waterfall, makes it really a special place. Also touristic.
12
Jökulsárlón
Tag 8-9
We are planning on making a guided tour through a glacier, which we can do in this area. Also there is a beautiful lagoon to just walk along, make a picnic, visit the diamond beach and just enjoy our time.
13
Seydisfjordur
Tag 9-10
After a 5 hours drive through the east of Iceland we will stop at the village Seyðisfjörður to walk around and stay there overnight. The village became famous for it's baby blue coloured church and the unique rainbow road leading up to the church.
14
Stuðlagil Canyon
Tag 10
A nice canyon to walk through within around 2 hours. Look at the pictures of this place, it looks to me like a scene from a fantasy/medieval movie. The basalt walls make this canyon unique and really beautiful.
15
Mývatnsheiðarvegur
Tag 10-11
Our plan is to do the diamond circle, visit the village Husavik and see Godafoss, Dettifoss and the Námafjall which would take us around 1 day to do so. When we strated preparing this trip, I always thought: "I know Husavik from somewhere." it is the hometown of Lars and Sigrit from the movie "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga".
16
Snæfellsnes
Tag 11-13
This is a very beautiful area in Iceland. we want to see the Londrangar Basalt Cliffs, Svortuloft Lighthouse, Bjarnarfoss, Skardsvik Beach. Our plan is also to see some seals in Ytri Tunga Beach. We want to just walk around and enjoy.
17
Reykjavík
Tag 13-15
At the end of our journey it is planned to stay in Reykjavik again. But depending on how well our plan works and if we have additional stops on our way, we may have to change our plans. If it was not possible to see whales like planned on the start of our travels, we would have the possibility again to do the whale watching.
