Anmeldelse af Afslappet 14-dages kør-selv-ferie på Islands Ringvej og Vestfjordene

This tour was amazing! Guide to Iceland provided us with a daily itinerary of sites to see. Since it was self-guided, we were able to do some side-quests (such as the Glymur hike on our way back to Reykjavik), as well as revisiting some of the attractions we really enjoyed (like the seal beach that was 5 minutes from one of our hotels). We never felt rushed or overwhelmed along the way. We saw waterfalls galore, seals at numerous locations, the black sand beach full of icebergs, red sand beach that goes on forever (bring water shoes to cross over to the ocean side!), sheep everywhere, pebble beach, cliffs, puffins (make sure if you want to see them that they haven’t already migrated), and an Arctic Fox that decided to visit one of the guest houses where we stayed! My only suggestion relates to personal preference: travelers who prefer not to share bathrooms, pay attention to that detail of the hotel accommodations. Many guest houses have shared bathrooms. Other than that, everywhere we stayed was comfortable and accommodating. We chose all locations that had breakfast included, picked up groceries at the local stores for lunch (protein bars, fruit, bread, peanut butter), then had dinner out. We didn’t have bad food or service anywhere! I highly recommended fish wherever you go (even if you are not a fan of fish, the freshness makes all the difference)! Before and during the trip, every time I reached out to my Guide to Iceland guide, I received a prompt and helpful response. The entire planning process was so simple with their package offerings and that they handled all reservations, flights, car rental, hotels, specialized tours. We would never have had the time to research or plan a trip to Iceland, so they made it possible for us to have this epic vacation!

En omfattende guide til de bedste ture på Ringvejen i Island

Ringvejsture på Island tilbyder en betagende rejse gennem et af verdens mest fantastiske landskaber. Ringvejen, der også er kendt som Rute 1, er en 1.332 kilometer lang motorvej, der omkranser hele øen og giver adgang til nogle af Islands mest ikoniske naturlige vidundere.

Startende i hovedstaden, Reykjavik, begiver rejsende sig på et cirkulært eventyr, der fører dem gennem forskellige landskaber, fra dramatiske kyster til vulkanske marker, gletsjere, vandfald og geotermiske vidundere. Ringvejen tilbyder en bekvem måde at udforske landets unikke geologiske træk, herunder den berømte Gyldne Cirkel med dens gejsere, Thingvellir Nationalpark og Gullfoss vandfaldet.

Thingvellir Nationalpark er et UNESCOs verdensarvssted og stedet for Islands gamle parlament, kendt for sin fantastiske sprækkedal og muligheden for at snorkle eller dykke i Silfra-spalten. Geysir geotermiske område byder på den berømte Strokkur gejser, som jævnligt går i udbrud og skyder varmt vand højt op i luften. Gullfoss vandfaldet er et kraftfuldt og majestætisk vandfald i to niveauer, der vil efterlade dig målløs.

Du får også chancen for at udforske Vatnajokull Nationalpark, der er hjemsted for den største gletsjer i Europa, Vatnajokull. Denne park har en række naturlige vidundere, herunder isgrotter, gletsjerlaguner og vandrestier, der fører til fantastiske udsigtspunkter.

For dem, der søger afslapning og foryngelse, er Den Blå Lagune en  destination langs Ringvejen, som du bare må besøge. Denne geotermiske spa giver besøgende en chance for at ligge i blød i varmt, mineralrigt vand omgivet af et surrealistisk lavalandskab - et perfekt sted at slappe af efter dages udforskning.

Et andet højdepunkt ved Ringvejsture er muligheden for at opleve nordlyset i vintermånederne, da vejen giver adgang til fjerntliggende og mørke områder, der er perfekte til nordlysjagt. Om sommeren pryder midnatssolen rejsende med endeløst dagslys, hvilket giver mulighed for non-stop udforskning.

Undervejs kan du besøge charmerende byer og landsbyer, nyde naturlige varme kilder og prøve lokale retter. Fleksibiliteten ved turene på Ringvejen giver rejsende mulighed for at skræddersy deres rejseplan til deres interesser, uanset om det er vandreture, betragte dyrelivet eller blot at nyde den uovertrufne skønhed i Islands landskaber.

The Ring Road is well maintained, and it’s possible to drive all types of cars on the Ring Road—from small rental cars to larger vehicles such as four-wheel-drive SUVs or buses. Note that while a 2WD car is enough in summer, it’s strongly recommended to drive a 4x4 in winter. Also remember to check road conditions before heading out in winter.

How long does it take to drive the Ring Road in Iceland?
It’s possible to drive the Ring Road in about 15–17 hours, but that doesn’t account for stops at the many incredible sights and natural attractions along the way. Therefore, it’s recommended to spend at least a week—and preferably more than 10 days—driving the Ring Road so you have time to experience everything you pass.
Are all of Iceland’s natural attractions located along the Ring Road?

Which direction is best for driving the Ring Road in Iceland?
The most popular direction is to head south first via the Golden Circle route, which then takes you onward to Iceland’s South Coast.

Can you drive Iceland’s Ring Road in a week?
Yes, it’s absolutely possible to drive the Ring Road in a week with plenty of stops at sights along the way. It depends on how much time you have and how much you want to drive each day. Five days on the Ring Road is the absolute minimum and can feel a bit rushed, while two weeks gives you plenty of time to explore and take detours as you like.
Is the Ring Road the same as the Golden Circle?
No, the Golden Circle is a relatively short route with three of Iceland’s most popular attractions, which can be done in one day starting from Reykjavik. The “Ring Road” is a nickname for Iceland’s Route 1, which is a main road that goes all the way around the island and typically requires at least a week to drive if you also want to stop along the way.
What time of year is best for traveling the Ring Road in Iceland?
The best time to travel the Ring Road depends on your wishes and interests. Summer (June to August) offers the most stable weather conditions, long daylight hours, and good access to attractions.
Winter (December to February), on the other hand, can provide very special experiences such as the northern lights and snow-covered landscapes. It’s recommended to rent a 4x4, as some roads may be closed or difficult to drive due to snow and ice.
Can I see the northern lights on a Ring Road trip?
The northern lights can be seen in Iceland in winter, typically from late September to early April. Your chances of seeing the northern lights depend on several factors, including solar activity, weather conditions, and how little light pollution there is. If you travel the Ring Road in winter, you often increase your chances of experiencing the phenomenon because you’ll reach many places with minimal light pollution.
Can I rent a campervan for a Ring Road trip in Iceland?
Yes, you can rent a campervan in Iceland for your Ring Road trip. With a campervan, you can travel at your own pace and create a route that suits you. Be sure to book well in advance, especially in high season, and familiarize yourself with Iceland’s traffic rules and road conditions. Always remember to park your campervan at an official campsite before going to sleep.

An international driving permit (IDP) isn’t mandatory for all visitors, but car rental companies require a valid driver’s license written in Latin letters. If your license isn’t in English or doesn’t use the Latin alphabet, it’s a good idea to get an IDP to avoid problems.
What should I pack for a Ring Road trip?
Essential items for packing include warm clothing, waterproof outerwear, comfortable shoes, and a camera. The exact packing list can vary depending on the season and the activities you plan.
What types of accommodation can I expect along the Ring Road in Iceland?
Accommodation options along the Ring Road are many and varied—from hotels, guesthouses, and hostels to cottages. It’s recommended to book accommodation well in advance, especially in high season.
Is there mobile coverage along the Ring Road in Iceland?

Are there age limits for joining Ring Road tours?
Age limits can vary depending on the tour operator and the specific tour. Some tours may have age requirements for safety reasons, so it’s important to check with the provider before booking.
Can I customize my Ring Road tour in Iceland?

Absolutely! Ring Road tours are family-friendly, and many self-drive vacations and guided tours are designed for families with children. Experiences like waterfalls, glaciers, and wildlife encounters make the trip exciting for all ages.
Remember to plan regular breaks and choose child-friendly accommodations and activities.
