In the first episode of Circling Iceland we head to our first waterfalls starting with the Hraunfossar followed by the Kirkjufellsfoss on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Said Peninsula is certainly a place you should mark on your map due to it’s impressive coast at Arnarstapi.
On our second day we drove all the way to the north where we based ourselves near Akureyri to explore the north of Iceland starting with a hike in the Asbyrgi canyon. In the upcoming episode I’ll show you all the sights in this area more in-depth.
Traveling Icelands Ring Road is the perfect way to get to know the country on and off the tourist paths. Therefore we took about 2 weeks to get to know Iceland properly by exploring waterfalls, canyons, hot springs, glacier caves, black beaches and of course the stunning coastlines all around the island finishing off in Reykjavik with the countries biggest music festival called „Iceland Airwaves“
We’ll show you which places to visit & our favorite things to do in Iceland in the upcoming videos and how to plan & organize your very own road trip in Iceland. Make sure to subscribe & activate notification to not miss any episode!
