Ring Road Revelations
Iceland
|
Sep 23 - Oct 4, 2025
We had a fantastic 12 day self drive tour around Iceland. With Lisbet’s help and coaching we were well prepared for the weather and were able to really enjoy each days journey. The pace was very manageable and we did all that we really wanted including a few optional stops. The in car wifi and daily google route plans made navigation easy. Just a gorgeous country with delightful people.
The diversity of activities, nature stops and lodging kept our interest and made the two weeks go by quickly!
Hotel Reviews
We were fortunate that when the ring road closed due to flooding, we were staying here and could secure a 2nd night. It was one of our favorite hotels with a great ambience and views from the dining room and outdoor hot tubs. Staff was friendly and gracious and rooms were of high standard and comfortable. We were able to enjoy the Northern lights as well as the sauna, steam room and cold plunge.
The Reykjavík Edition was one of our favorite places to stay. Its modern amenities and convenient location in the city were just fantastic.
We really enjoyed our stay at Fosshótel Mývatn. It offered a comfortable stay with beautiful views around the Lake Mývatn area.
The Hotel Laugarbakki was our least favorite. The isolated location and slightly rundown feel made it less appealing compared to the other hotels we stayed at.
The Black Beach Hotel was really nice and one of the hotels we enjoyed the most. The location added to the experience with the breathtaking beach views.
Activity Review
We visited the Blue Lagoon early in the morning, which was a perfect way to start our holiday. The early visit helped us avoid the crowds, and it set a relaxing tone for the rest of our day in Iceland.
