Andrea's 6 day travel guide to Iceland

This 6-day self-drive adventure focuses on Iceland's iconic South Coast in late autumn, perfectly timed for winter activities. You'll journey from the Golden Circle to the magnificent Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, enjoying pre-booked activities like a glacier hike, horse riding, and a Katla ice cave tour. The trip culminates with relaxation at Hvammsvik Hot Springs and exploration in Reykjavík. Please note the 'Inside the Volcano' tour is unavailable during your travel dates, so we've planned other exciting geological experiences.
