Must-Visit Spots: Whether you have a few days or a couple of weeks, there's an itinerary for you. For a shorter stay, the Golden Circle offers a taste of Iceland's geological marvels, while a longer expedition could take you around the entire Ring Road, bringing you face-to-face with waterfalls, glaciers, and black sand beaches.
Tips for Fuel Efficiency: Navigating Iceland doesn't have to break the bank. Maintain a steady speed, utilize eco-driving tips like gentle acceleration and deceleration, and keep an eye on your fuel gauge - stations can be few and far between in remote areas.
