Let me introduce you to one of my favorite places in the whole country: the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

Chaos? I don’t know her. 💁‍♀️💁‍♀ Chaos? I don’t know her. 💁‍♀️💁‍♀️💁‍♀️

When you’ve got drive times dialed in, hidden gems mapped, and rest stops pinned BEFORE you land — suddenly, Iceland feels a whole lot more peaceful. 

I don’t plan every detail just to be extra (okay, maybe a little 😉). I do it because having a SOLID plan means more time soaking in hot springs and less time stressing over where to find the nearest gas station. 

With these itineraries, you’re not just getting a list of stops. You’re getting:

✔️ Realistic drive times between each location
✔️ Seasonal tips so you don’t show up to a trail that’s closed or a road that’s impassable
✔️ Food, bathroom, and gas stop recs where you *actually* need them
✔️ Hidden gems and local favorites you’d never find on TripAdvisor
✔️ Day-by-day structure that keeps you on track but leaves space for adventure

These plans are crafted with care, years of experience, and the little things that make a HUGE difference when you’re actually on the road in Iceland.

Because the best way to stay relaxed in Iceland… is knowing every detail’s already handled. 💁‍♀️

You deserve better than wet, miserable feet on you You deserve better than wet, miserable feet on your Iceland trip. 🥶

Packing for Iceland is an art — from layering up to staying dry to choosing gear that can handle ANYTHING Iceland throws your way. 💪🏼

And when it comes to shoes?

Iceland’s rugged trails, rainy days, and slippery hot springs are NOT the place to test out “cute but not practical” footwear. 😅

Here’s the footwear game plan you’ll want:

👉🏼 Waterproof hiking boots: a must-have for trails, waterfalls, and all your outdoor adventures!

👉🏼 Comfy walking/hiking shoes: perfect for museum days, exploring towns or cities, or lighter 

👉🏼 Flip-flops: essential for hot springs and pools.

And don’t bother with dressy shoes. Hiking boots and leggings are like an unofficial uniform in Iceland. 😂

Want the full packing breakdown (complete with a layering cheat sheet, pro tips and a shopping guide)?
