What is a Self-drive Tour?

Self-drive tours in Iceland are a great way to see the country independently and make your own schedule.

What we mean by Self Drive Tours is that you are not with a tour group and can explore at your own pace. You will have to have a car, so rent a car before you come or look into getting a rental car while you are here.

You can choose from a variety of different activities to make your journey memorable and exciting. These can include snorkeling in Silfra, taking a Glacier Hike or visiting an Ice Cave to name a few. Here we have ideas on how you can make your Self Drive Tour adventurous and unforgettable:

What are the 4 ultimate self-drive routes from Reykjavík?

There are four primary day-trip routes recommended for independent drivers, each offering a completely different taste of the country's landscape:

  • The Golden Circle: The classic first-timer route featuring historic sites, explosive geysers, and roaring waterfalls close to the city.
  • The Snæfellsnes Peninsula: Known as "Iceland in Miniature" because it packs a glacier, volcanic craters, black and golden sand beaches, and dramatic sea cliffs into one loop.
  • The Short South Coast (to Vík): A waterfall-heavy paradise that takes you past giant cascades, glacial tongues, and iconic black sand beaches.
  • Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon (The Long South Coast): A marathon driving route to the crown jewel of Iceland’s nature, where massive icebergs break off a glacier and float into the sea.
