You may be able to "do" the Ring Road in 6 days, but you'll enjoy Iceland more if you take longer and get off the main route as you go! We took about 10 days both times we went and still had to miss great things each time. Love, love, love Iceland!

One of the most enjoyable and earnest videos on the Ring Road I’ve seen! I am glad to hear the wildflowers will still be in bloom in late June - my cousin and I will be driving the Ring Road in early July. How much did you pay for parking, on average?

@BlokhinFilms

We paid very seldom for parking, maybe once. I honestly can't remember how much. But it could have changed since 2018. I know that Iceland began more actively charging tourists for visiting landmarks, especially the ones that are popular and get crowded. There could be no charge for visiting a particular place, but you get charged for parking and restroom. Oh restrooms...I hope they built more restrooms along the route.

You could also do this through booking.com and other websites. They were actually very decent accomodations. We stayed at a farm one time with amazing views.

Are there road signs marking the waterfalls and other attractions? Did you pre book your hotels or just booked a room as you traveled? Thank you.

Yes we found there to be enough gas stations along the ring road, just try to not leave the tank less than half full, and keep in mind we had a tiny, very fuel efficient car. I don't know about maps of the island, we just used google maps and offline maps app. Yes, we found the road signs to inform us well of the main attractions, however you had to know where a few of them were yourself. We used google maps and offline maps to mark everything we wanted to see. We pre-booked private rooms through Airbnb. Hope this helps!

Great video guide, we are planning similar trip but don’t have that many days since we wanted to stay one night in Reykjavik and 1 night in blue lagoon. I have 2Q; 1. How advance did you book your accommodations? Basically will it be wise for 3 girls to just take on road trip and find accommodations on way? 2. What will you advise if you had just 3 days?

@BlokhinFilms

2 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching. We booked our trip 2-3 months in advance including accomodations. I have no idea if it's wise to just wing it on accomodations but it's likely it will be possible to find an Airbnb at the last minute. I wouldn't do the whole ring road in just three days, and would stick to just seeing spots along the popular golden circle route instead, but it's up to you! The golden circle route is relatively short, so seeing other places will also be possible in 3 days.

Hello and thank you for sharing your journey! We are planing on going clockwise on the Ring Rd. from Kef airport in July. We arrive early Friday and depart from Kef the following Wednesday early evening. That is a total of 5 days and 18 hours in Iceland. We are primarily interested in enjoying the surroundings on our way to Akurye, Myvatn, Studgal Canyon, Hofn, Vik, and Reykjavik before departing. Our goal is to arrive and overnight in Vik Monday and make our way to Reykjavik Tuesday for our last night so we can explore the city on Wednesday. Thoughts? Any advice is welcome and happy to hear from you.

@BlokhinFilms

Not too bad looking back at it. We definitely saw a lot in 6 days with nonstop driving. It was a bit tiring in the end but worth it, as we could only do 6 days due to a free layover. We did stay at scenic spots we liked for as long as we wanted to, and managed a few hikes. You could make it as rushed or not depending on what you want to see. We did another shorter trip afterwards through the golden circle and it was more relaxed, though we didn't see as much as in those 6 days. Hope this helps!

what was the month of travel ??? Which camera ? / software

Very beautiful and helpful video! I am going to Iceland in a couple of weeks, and I am still uncertain on what I will do with my time there (10 days). The Ring Road is certainly under consideration. In your experience, can the Ring Road be completed in a 2-wheel drive car? I am aware that a storm can disrupt (or cancel) any itinerary, but if the weather is cooperative, are the roads suitable for "normal" city cars?

@BlokhinFilms

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! We had a Hyundai i10 for the ring road trip (so the smallest car possible), and the roads were great except for a few gravel ones like to Dettifoss, but we managed that fine too. We did do another trip through the golden circle in September too and rented a similar car. However, the car rental company, Blue car rental, sent out a warning on the day of travel of strong winds in the highlands and potential sandstorms in southeast Iceland (many gravel roads were closed). Despite this, the main ring road should have been fine to drive through even then. I don't know if this is just going by chance or if September is worse than June. I think we had some kind of sandstorm insurance which wasn't too pricey (the gas was far more expensive than the rental). Hope this helps and have a great trip!

Spend as much time as you want at any place, some are more interesting than others, and that is individual. We didn't rent a van so I don't know about where to sleep or park as far as that goes.
