Our first international trip together to Iceland and Finland this November with Pickyourtrail was the best decision! We are so grateful to Mr. Beniel for planning everything perfectly and to the team for checking in on us daily. Right from the accommodations to the flights and activities, everything was curated exactly to our needs. Seeing the Northern Lights together was a major bucket list dream come true! Hoping to plan another holiday with them soon. Thank you Pickyourtrail!jyothi choudhary, Trip to Iceland

Embark on a 6 Nights 7 Days Self Drive Escape in Iceland

Iceland, a land where fire and ice coexist, is a dreamscape waiting to be explored. Picture this: the midnight sun illuminating black sand beaches, the roar of cascading waterfalls echoing across rugged terrain, and quaint villages nestled among volcanic mountains. Over 6 nights and 7 days, our self-drive itinerary allows you to traverse this beautiful island at your own pace, discovering hidden gems and iconic landmarks that define the essence of Iceland.

Highlights of the Destination

  • Reykjavik: The vibrant capital offers a pleasing mix of rich history and modern charm. Explore its colorful streets and delve into Iceland's unique culture through local cuisine and art.
  • Vik: Home to the iconic black sand beaches, Vik is a must-visit for nature lovers. Gaze at the Reynisfjara beach's basalt columns as the waves crash against the shore.
  • Akureyri: Known as the 'Capital of North Iceland', this charming town is filled with heartwarming sights and an inviting atmosphere, perfect for those wishing to experience Iceland's small-town magic.
  • Glacier Adventures: From ice cave explorations in Vik to glacier hikes on Sólheimajökull, thrill-seekers will find ample excitement maneuvering the awe-inspiring landscapes.

Travel Tips for Iceland

  • Pack Layers: Iceland's weather can change dramatically in just a few hours. Don't forget to pack warm, waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear.
  • Self-drive Essentials: Familiarize yourself with the local driving laws. Always keep an eye out for sheep and other wildlife wandering onto the roads.
  • Local Cuisine: Don't miss out on tasting traditional dishes like lamb soup or fresh seafood. Be sure to head to small, local restaurants for an authentic experience.
  • Explore Off the Beaten Path: While attractions like the Golden Circle are a must-see, set aside time to explore lesser-known spots, giving you a more intimate glimpse of the island’s beauty.

Conclusion

As you journey through Iceland's diverse landscapes, you're not just a traveler; you're becoming part of a magnificent story that unfolds with every mile. This 6 nights and 7 days self-drive adventure promises unforgettable memories, laughter with friends, and a rekindled appreciation for nature's magnificence. Set your sights on the road less traveled and let the spirit of Iceland guide you to endless discoveries.

My family and I took a trip to Iceland with Pickyourtrail 2 weeks ago, and it was one of the most unforgettable experiences we've ever had. We travelled there to see aurora lights and we got extremely happy to see them on all nights during our stay in Reykjavik! Thanks very much to the team at Pickyourtrail who helped us every step of our way through this trip. The itinerary was perfectly created as per our choices. The hotels they chose for us in Akureyri and Vik were also centrally located with so many amenities. They kept us informed about every small thing on trip, which made our holiday hassle-free as they state. Their support chat is round the clock and they will get back to you even in the middle of the night, which was very useful to us when we faced minor inconveniences during an activity but their team resolved those issues almost immediately. I will definitely recommend their services to everyone. Will surely reach out to them for my next international holiday. Thank you team Pickyourtrail, once again!

Was very happy to work with Samrit from Pick your trail. I wanted to plan an offbeat trip to Iceland and in fact got a lot of useful information from him that is otherwise difficult to procure from googling. He was very patient in understanding my requirements and gave suggestions here and there. Being a constant traveller, he is one of the best travel planners I have worked with :-) Highly recommending Pick Your Trail. Will definitely come back to them for my next trip.
