A 10-night road trip through South Iceland and the Reykjanes Peninsula, including visits to major waterfalls (Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss), geothermal areas, glacier lagoons, and coastal sites, ending with a stay at the Blue Lagoon.
An Iceland trip expert planned this 11-day route for a real client's March trip: South Coast 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.
