Taking day trips with a renal car from a single base location is a great option for many visitors to Iceland. But there are several things to consider when choosing between staying put or moving between multiple hotels during your trip in Iceland.
The Faroe Islands is not a place that initially comes to mind when thinking of planning a road trip. Located in the North Atlantic between Iceland, Scotland and Norway, the islands are a hidden gem that I can’t recommend highly enough. Dramatic mountains and fjords aplenty, the scenery is absolutely incredible.
Most of the islands are connected by a network of bridges and tunnels that run over and beneath the fjords, meaning much of the island is accessible by car. You’ll also be able to take your car on some ferries to those islands that aren’t connected by road bridges or tunnels. The Faroe Islands really make a great destination for exploring by road.
Renting a car in Iceland is by far my favourite way to get around and explore the country. But what it’s like driving there? Read on for my top tips and things you need to know when renting a car in Iceland.
Iceland has to be my all time favourite destination. There’s so much to see and do and I always aim to see and do as much as possible every time I visit. I always choose to rent a car to get around, giving me the freedom to explore at my own pace and to get off the beaten track. If you want to see beautiful mountains, volcanic landscapes and abundant sea and birdlife, then then the land of fire and ice is for you!
A week is an ideal amount of time to see plenty of Iceland, but I would refrain from aiming to circle the entire island as you’ll fine you’ll be driving almost the whole time. Instead I would focus on exploring the many sights that the south coast has to offer. Read on to get some ideas that may help you with you road trip planning.
This has to go down as one of my best experiences to date. Driving in Africa seemed daunting at first, but I can safely say that I enjoyed every minute of this trip and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking of organising something similar. If you’re looking for a safari holiday in Africa and want to see abundant wildlife and stunning scenery then Namibia is definitely for you. We ended the holiday in Botswana and finally Zimbabwe, managing to cram in three different countries in three weeks.
