A comprehensive Iceland trip covering the Golden Circle, the Landmannalaugar reserve, the Snæfellsnes peninsula, the south of the island and the Westman Islands.
An Iceland trip expert planned this 12-day route for a real client's June trip: South Coast, Landmannalaugar and the Westman Islands. 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.
