We sat down with Toni, our Regional Manager for Iceland, to ask him what makes the Land of Fire & Ice the perfect place for an epic road trip 👇

❓ Q: What makes Iceland a road-tripper’s paradise?
💡 A: You have the most freedom & flexibility on a self-drive tour. Travel at your own pace, stop whenever you want & explore spots off the beaten track.

❓ Q: How easy is it to drive around Iceland?
💡 A: It’s pretty easy to drive in Iceland. The Ring Road loops around the country & takes you to natural attractions like waterfalls, hot springs & black sand beaches.

❓ Q: What are your top 3 hidden gems?
💡 A: Here are my top picks –

1️⃣ The fjords & fishing villages in the Eastfjords. They’re stunning, but a lot of people miss them. It’s a great way to see the traditional way of life in Iceland & get incredible views as you drive along the coast.

2️⃣ Selárlaug swimming pool, because of its remote location in the east. You get to experience local swimming culture while being surrounded by breathtaking nature.

3️⃣ Svöðufoss waterfall is often overlooked. In the right weather conditions, you can even see Snæfellsjökull glacier in the background.
