A waterfall in Skaftafell in Vatnajökull National Park and one of the most popular sights there. This waterfall has these basalt columns hanging around it. It is beautiful. Really, really, really pretty. Really dramatic.

This canyon was a surprise end is amazing, like amazing. It’s the most beautiful place we have ever seen with our eyes. That being said, to get up there, it’s about a two to four hour hike. So we recommend going as far as you can because the viewpoints just get better and better.

The iconic church in Reykjavik. Super tall, super unique, and inspired by Iceland’s basalt columns.

This waterfall is absolutely epic. It's a cool spot. It's about an hour outside of Reykjavik and I don’t think anything can adequately prepare you for just how majestic it is. If it’s colder outside, definitely layer up and wear some waterproof clothing, otherwise you will get soaked.

A remote seafront village in south Iceland. You can find lodging for the night and places to get something to eat.

Another black sand beach near Vik. Looks a lot like Reynisfjara but with fewer people. The waves are still wild, the cliffs are still crazy, and it’s just an epic place to take in Iceland’s coastline.

Alright, this one’s right off the road. Super easy stop. Just a nice little waterfall cascading down the rocks, surrounded by green hills. Nothing too crazy, but a really pretty spot to stretch your legs and take some pictures.

A quiet place to stay with mountain views. Super peaceful, super simple. Nothing crazy, but after a long day of exploring, it’s nice to have a spot to relax.

A small waterfall north of the larger falls of Seljalandsfoss in Iceland. It is less visible in the main one.

A beach with chunks of icebergs wash up on shore. If you don't get to see any huge ones, there are plenty of little ones out there that are super pretty. Absolutely love that spot. It is really cool to see the contrast between the ice and then just the sheer black sand.

A geothermal spa located in southwestern Iceland, in a lava field. The warm, mineral-rich waters are perfect for soaking.

This place is insane. The ground is red, yellow, and steaming. The smell? Super strong. Sulfur everywhere. Feels like you’re walking on another planet, just steam vents hissing all around you. The air is hot, and the whole place feels alive.

A bright yellow school bus turned café, sitting unexpectedly along the road. It is adorable, making it a perfect stop on the way to Iceland’s waterfalls. Highly recommend, the coffee is delicious, and so are the pastries.

A nice hotel where you can rest after exploring. The rooms are clean, and the front desk staff is very helpful and kind.

A canyon created by progressive erosion by flowing water from glaciers. There’s multiple places to stop along the route. The farther you go, the more you see. Yeah, it’s absolutely epic. There are multiple waterfalls and birds flying everywhere in the canyon. There aren’t very many people up there either.A canyon created by progressive erosion by flowing water from glaciers.

So this is the parking lot for the east side of Stuðlagil. If you want the best views, this is the way to go. It’s a longer hike, but totally worth it.

A headland on the southeastern Icelandic coast. Stokksnes is just so dramatic, so beautiful. The access to get into Stokksnes is the same access point to get to the Viking village and it is one of our favorite spots in all Iceland.

The famous rainbow street in Reykjavik. Super colorful, super fun, and leading straight up to Hallgrimskirkja. One of the most photographed streets in the city, and for good reason.

A simple and convenient place to stay near the airport. Not a long stay kind of place, but perfect if you need somewhere before or after a flight. Easy check-in, easy check-out.
