A 10-night road trip through Southern Iceland and Snaefellsnes, featuring major natural landmarks, hot springs, glacier activities, and a super-jeep tour to Thorsmork.
An Iceland trip expert planned this 11-day route for a real client's October trip: South Coast, Þórsmörk and Snæfellsnes. It passed our checks for daily driving, highland roads and season, which is why it is one of the 177 expert-built plans in our Iceland itineraries.
The day-by-day plan below has every stop, with photos and what to see. Duplicate it to set your own dates, change the pace or swap stops; the original stays as the expert wrote it.
