Iceland: Golden Circle for poor travellers

[dbsb3233]

To bdsb3233, how much of 2 days do you have? We did a fantastic 2 day overnight tour to the Jokusarlon glacier lagoon. We used Goecco, with 23 people total. That would only work if you had two full days to sight see, with two separate travel days. Then someone else has to worry about driving and you can enjoy the scenery.

We fly in at 7am on a Tue and fly out at 7am on a Thu. Hotel is in Reykjavik, so getting 6 people with 18 nights worth of luggage (for our cruise out of AMS) easily and comfortably to and from the airport is part of the thinking about renting a van (especially with that early-morning time on fly-out day).

 

We do a lot of private tours, and we usually prefer that. During the cruise we have private tours planned in 6-7 of the ports. But Iceland looked like a place well-suited for renting a vehicle and doing a self-drive. Kinda nice to do that in a few places to mix it up a little from the series of daily tours too.

Ah, got it. Yes, Iceland will be fairly easy to navigate on your own. Be warned, though. After such a short trip, you'll be planning how to get back to stay longer. ;)
