Iceland for beginners  

December 2027

A trip to the south coast of Iceland, where the island's most famous photo spots lie close together. In addition to these obvious places, a number of less famous ones are also visited. And all this close to the ring road with its great winter-service and without having to drive too much.

While the heart of the trip is Vik y Myrdal, there are many attractions along the road that leads the trip all the way east to Vestrahorn.

The target price is 800 euros per person for car and accommodation. The exact cost of the trip can only be determined at the time of booking. The price-indication is based on previously booked trips.

The best chance of seeing the Northern Lights is from October to March. On this trip, days in Iceland will last approximately 7 hours, with sunrise around 8:00 AM and sunset around 15:15 PM. Be ready for snow, wind, very cold temperatures and gorgeous winter-landscapes.
