Fire, Ice, and Everything In Between: 11 Days Circling Iceland

 Iceland had been sitting on the "someday" list for years, mostly because every video about it starts with a drone shot of a waterfall and ends with someone standing in front of a glacier looking personally victorious. So this June, we finally went and did the thing: flew in, gave ourselves three full days to settle into Reykjavík, then handed the driving over to a small-group BusTravel tour (booked through GetYourGuide) for a 7-day loop around the entire Ring Road and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, before one last night back in the capital. Here's how it went, plus the food we're still thinking about. Three Days in Reykjavík Before the Real Adventure Started Flying in a few days before the tour started was, without question, the smartest call we made.

Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park

-




 Heard from a buddy of ours that there is going to be 150th anniversary celebration at the lighthouse and we went there to check it out. We were surprised by how beautiful this lighthouse is and we came to know that there are hostel rooms available to reserve and stay the night here at the lighthouse and this sounds awesome. Drive was amazing with so many unknown beaches with less crowds and Parking was little tricky due to the celebration but we can always find one if we spend some time looking around. It was very windy but place had few booths and a food truck and there was a puppet show for kids as well and beautiful live music and we had a blast here.


On the way back, there are so many beautiful view points and beaches and we stopped at a viewpoint for sunset and was breathtaking


Would certainly come back to experience the hostel rooms and explore the area around and would recommend for everyone
