10 Day Icelandic Odyssey: Ring Road & Westfjords

10-Day Icelandic Odyssey

Ring Road & Westfjords

This is not a highlights tour.
This is Iceland, end to end — including the part most people never reach.

In ten days, we travel the Ring Road and spend real, unhurried time in the Westfjords. Not a drive-by. Not a checklist. We slow down where it matters and push farther where most tours turn around.

Price:
Approx. 2,950,000 ISK for two people
(Private tour, all accommodation included)

What This Trip Really Is

This tour is about range and depth.

You’ll see the famous places — and then leave the crowds behind.

• Waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches
• Quiet fishing villages where nothing is staged
• Long coastal roads, wide fjords, changing weather
• Places where Iceland feels empty again

Around four full days are spent in the Westfjords — one of Iceland’s most remote regions. Fewer people. Bigger landscapes. More silence.

Ring Road Highlights (Done Right)

We cover the classics properly, without rushing:

• Golden Circle: Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss
• South Coast waterfalls and black beaches
• Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon & Diamond Beach
• Lava fields, mountain roads, long open stretches

We stop when it’s worth stopping — not because the clock says so.

The Westfjords (The Reason This Tour Exists)

The Westfjords are raw, rugged, and demanding — and that’s exactly the point.

Expect:

• Steep fjords and narrow coastal roads
• Tiny villages clinging to the edge of the sea
• Wildlife, cliffs, empty beaches, real weather
• Long drives with almost no traffic

This is where Iceland stops performing and just is.

How We Travel

• Fully private tour — just the two of you
• Experienced local guide who knows these roads
• Comfortable, capable vehicle built for long distances
• Flexible daily routing based on weather and conditions

No fixed script. Iceland decides the pace.

Fitness level: Easy to moderate

There is driving — that’s the trade-off for seeing Iceland properly.

Who This Is For

This tour is for you if:

• You value quiet as much as famous sights
• You want someone else handling logistics

This is not for travelers looking for luxury spas, tight schedules, or zero driving.

One island.
No shortcuts.

If you want to experience Iceland properly — including the parts most people never reach — this is the trip.
