Highlights

Reykjanesbær

Keflavík International Airport - We offer a complimentary shuttle service from either International Keflavík Airport or a hotel accommodation from the town Keflavík to CampEasy office located just five minute-drive from the airport.

Bridge Between Continents - You start today’s itinerary by visiting the Reykjanes peninsula. The first stop is the famous Bridge between continents, where you can stand between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

Gunnuhver Hot Springs - You spend some time visiting this geothermal area, which features steam vents, hot mud pools, and an incredible landscape shaped by the minerals in the ground. You see vibrant hues on steaming surfaces with the Reykjanes lighthouse in the background. This is undoubtedly a place not to miss!

Kleifarvatn Lake - Reykjanesbær peninsula’s largest lake, Kleifarvatn, is also among Iceland’s deepest lakes at almost 100 meters in depth. The water comes from the porous lava ground around it and is home to many fishes, particularly anglers! The lake reflects Iceland’s beauty in its simplicity, with lava ground covered in many places by thousand years’ old moss.

Borgarfjörður fjord and its waterfalls

Reykholt - Start your day by getting to know a little bit of culture to the itinerary with a stop at Reykholt near Borgarfjörður. This highly historical site from medieval times is home to Icelandic Sagas.

Budakirkja - You continue exploring the south coast of the Snæfellsnes peninsula with a short stop at Búdir church. The latter one is among the three black churches in Iceland, making it an extremely sough spot by photographers. A little further, you find the Búdir hotel. It does happen that every once and a while, seals are spotted in the sea.

Arnarstapi - Arnarstapi is worth a small stop as the area is renowned for its beauty. The beach is fascinating because erosion carved an arch right in the stone, called Gatklettur, or simply hole in the cliff.

Vatnshellir Cave - At 3 PM, you explore an 8,000-year-old lava tube located 32 meters under the ground! This is truly a fantastic lava formation where robust flows created an anti-chamber accessible by spiral stairs. Equipped with a helmet and headlight, you descend deep under the surface.

Kirkjufellsfoss - The next waterfall you see (Kirkjufellsfoss) is among Iceland’s most visited and photographed ones, along with the famous mountain Kirkjufell. The latter one formed 5 to 10 million years ago, and its multi-layered tip provides a unique and majestic look.

The Battle of Iceland

Akureyri and The Beer SPA

Dalvik - Start your day by visiting Dalvík – a village located Tröllaskagi peninsula. Dalvík is a great place to watch whales with excellent ocean access. If you need to buy food and beverages, visit the local grocery store for the following days and continue your journey.

If you are interested, we recommend you to visit Hrísey Island, Iceland´s second largest island. You can do this by driving to the town Árskógssandur where you can take the ferry.
The island is known from one of Iceland’s best birds watching spots. Here, you can find about 40 species of bird nests. We recommend going for a walk along with one of 3 paths, with a little bit of luck you can see many species of birds!
Note that this is only our recommendation, the admission fee is not included in the tour price. Please check the ferry´s time schedule on Hrisey´s website.
If you chose to come here, it will take you 3 hours, including the driving time from Dalvík, and the ferry tour time, there and back.

Akureyri - Your last visit of the day is Akureyri, or the capital of the north! Akureyri has many to offer with its lovely church, perched on top of the town as if guarding it. We recommend you stop at the botanical garden and the swimming pool, which outdoor slides will undoubtedly make things more interesting. A 10-minute drive from the center takes you to the charming and must-see Christmas house, open all year round.

Akureyri and Lake Mývatn

Godafoss - On your way to Lake Mývatn, you visit Godafoss waterfall or the waterfall of the gods. Legend has it that in the year 1,000, Þorgeir, who made Christianity official in Iceland, threw statues of the Norse gods in the waterfall. The chute is an impressive 12 meters high and 30 meters wide.

Dimmuborgir Lava Formations - The day would not be completed without a visit to Dimmuborgir. The latter is a large lava field where caves and arches were formed during a powerful eruption 2,300 years ago. Take some time to roam around the park dedicated to this lava field’s formations.

Skútustaðagígar - The next stop is Skútustadagígar pseudo craters. That is a perfect place for walking around an interesting geological formation. It is also an excellent location for bird watching.

Myvatn Nature Baths (Jardbodin vid Myvatn) - You finish the day in the warm waters of Mývatn’s Nature Baths (7.00 PM). Here you can take advantage of the sauna, steam room, the warm waterfall but most preciously, the panoramic view of the lake directly from the comfort of the open-air bath.

Húsavik & Akureyri - Diamond Circle

Gentle Giants – Húsavík Whale Watching - Húsavik is the place to be for a Whale Watching Tour! You go for a three-hour sea adventure at 9:45 AM where you would see whales in their habitat but could spot some dolphins jumping out of the water as they travel in groups.

Ásbyrgi - Ásbyrgi is an original shoe-shaped canyon formed eight to ten thousand years ago, right after the glacial flooding. Today, the canyon is an incredible woodland place that has a small lake in its heart. The cliffs are about 100 meters high, and the canyon features many walking paths, which would take you to wonder how the site used to be back in the last Ice Age.

Vök Baths and Egilsstaðir

Rjukandi Waterfall - The next stop takes you to Rjúkandi waterfall, which is just outside of Egilsstadir. The landscape until Mývatn is somewhat lunar-like, with surprising sites along the way!

East Coast and Seydisfjordur Fjord

Studlagil canyon - Studlagil Canyon is one of the most visited sites on the East coast. The stunning basalt rock columns and blue water river make it a must-see in Iceland. The place is breathtaking and worthy of staying for a little bit longer. You admire the canyon from the viewing platform, or you can go down to the gorge!

Look no further! CampEasy is the best! - I’ve used CampEasy two years in a row to circumnavigate Iceland; they make my vacation seamless, so I can focus on my photography and videography knowing I have information and assistance a tap away. Everything is loaded into a convenient tablet for directions, campsites, weather and road status, and points of interest. The ability to change my itinerary with a few taps offers me unparalleled flexibility. The CampEasy team is friendly, knowledgeable, and their fleet is very well maintained. Even if you go with their X “experienced” camper option, the vehicles are well serviced and still in excellent condition. I’ll be back for round three! Þakka þér fyrir, CampEasy!

Amazing adventure - We rented campervan for the first time ever from CampEasy. We took a Easy Clever 4x4 X. The camper itself was amazing and had everything we needed. There is enough space for two people comfortably. The only downside we see is the fact that you can’t stand up straight but we knew that from the beginning. We went on lots of gravel roads and camper had no problems at all. We had a broken key issue that was quickly solved by CampEasy agents. Thank you Razvan, Dominik, Nicole and Iris for all your help and good will. When we come back to Iceland CampEasy is our first choice! Greetings from Croatia, Lea and Vedran

Too expensive for a tent with 4x4 wheels! - Iceland is a wonderful country! Driving F-Roads and going into highlands is a must! That is why I rented a Viking CamperVan 4x4. However and dispite the high price the camper did not meet the expectations! It was ok for driving the F-Roads. But there were several downsides, namely: - Upper bed very claustrophobic - heating system with manual regulation and poor ventilation during the night (no air renewal!) - no closed closets for keeping the stuff! (Meaning Driving f-roads equals to have everything all over the place) - no wc or shower (possible in other vans with same size) - small clean water deposit with a non-functioning sink - darkened windows in the back, with poor lightning for those travel in the back - table to high and uncomfortable, also with poor space due to the upper bed being fixed! The holidays were great but I would try to check for other provider before deciding again on Camp Easy rental!
