Hi there, After an 11-day road trip around Iceland in May 2025, I wrote some posts summarizing our itinerary, activities/sightseeing/hikes, our favorite spots, tips, and a detailed breakdown of how much the trip cost us. I hope this helps other travelers looking to explore Iceland: https://worldseenbymathilde.blogspot.com/2025/05/islande-11-jours-en-van-pour-faire-le.html

Summer 2020, Transavia cancels at the end of June the flights they put on sale at the beginning of the same month... Not enough customers!

Too bad, it was a unique opportunity to discover Iceland without its overwhelming number of tourists.

Summer 2021, the entry conditions for the island keep changing.

Summer 2022, the Icelandair ticket is booked, the Duster 4x4 is rented, accommodations are reserved—it’s finally our turn to discover this northern gem!

In 3 weeks, we’ll have to make choices.

Our itinerary will skip the Westfjords.

We’ll start our Icelandic adventure in Snæfellsnes and finish at the Golden Circle.

In between, there’ll be roads, tracks, glaciers, volcanoes, fjords, wind, cold, rain, snow, fog, and a touch of sunshine...

A few hikes, a hot spring, and plenty of wonder, especially on the backroads where travelers often find themselves alone against the elements.

Bundle up in your down jacket, grab your scarf and hat to warmly discover the full detailed story of this trip...

Happy reading!

And if you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate!
