Daytours from Reykjavik

Many people want to drive around Iceland. You can do that during spring/summer. But during winter it is not wise. The weather can be unreliable and there might be a lot of snow out in the country. Hotels in bigger towns are open but you cannot count on getting the service you might need.

When travelling to Iceland during winter a better choice is to stay at a hotel in Reykjavik or surroundings and make daytours from Reykjavik.

I recommend:

1 Reykjanes peninsula with the bridge between the two continents, geysers and the famous Blue Lagoon.

2 Snæfellsnes peninsula with villages, glacier and national park on the way.

3 The Golden Circle with visits to Thingvellir where the old parliament used to gather, the golden waterfall Gullfoss and the famous Geysir is something most people don't want to miss.

4 Activity day with hiking, whale watching and/or riding. During winter it is nice to look at the Northern Lights!

5 South Coast of Iceland with national park, great waterfalls and villages.

6 The west coast with historic sights from the Sagas.

During summer it is easier to drive around Iceland but then you would need to stay more than one week in the country.
