Drive Ring Road or the Golden Circle

Ring Road is a 1,332 kilometer long circle road that connects the entirety of Iceland.

For a less time-consuming road trip, there is the Golden Circle. This 300 kilometer route circles around the capital city of Reykjavik and can be easily completed in a day. The Golden Circle is filled with plenty of Iceland’s natural beauty; notable sights along the way include Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss waterfall, the geysers Geysir and Strokkur, and Kerið volcanic crater. 

Black sand beaches, glaciers, and icebergs 

Beaches conjure images of warm golden sand, sunshine, and blue waters. Iceland has plenty of beaches — black sand beaches to be specific — on the Southern Coast. The most famous of these dark and mysterious beaches in Iceland, and the world, is Reynisfjara Beach, located 180 kilometers from Reykjavík. Sand is the result of eroded rocks, and in the case of Reynisfjara, black sand is formed from eroded black volcanic rocks. 

There are several really fun outdoor activities to partake in, some in the extreme sport variety- perfect for a memorable experience. You can go skydiving, there is parachute gliding, and all of these activities are overseen by experts. For those that don’t feel to sure about going it alone, they can make the jump with you, leaving you free to enjoy the view and the exhilarating experience without it getting too scary.

Iceland is filled with glacier lagoons, the most famous of which is Jokulsarlon. Glacial lagoons are created when a melting glacier reaches sea level, and as the glacier tongue recedes, a depression is left behind in the ground which then fills with melt water. Some lagoons feature icebergs, tips of glaciers that break off and float in the lagoon. You can rent a fully-serviced and properly maintained boat or a canoe to the enjoy the view at your leisure. Everything from the boat fuel tank to the engine and everything in between is kept in perfect condition so that tourists have nothing to worry about, and are able to have fun and make a day of it.
