The magical South and the stunning West are both incredible areas of Iceland. For someone planning their first trip to Iceland, this is likely the exact route you will be doing!

We are so glad of purchasing this book which made our trip amazing we benefited the fullest .
I have been recommending it to family and friends because I don’t think our trip would be as organised without it.
Can’t wait to redo the trip again
Kory Johnson –
I am so glad that I purchased this guidebook! My partner and I used it daily on our trip. It is especially nice to use on an i-Pad or large tablet. It was like our own personalized digital magazine guide that we used during our week long road trip of South Iceland. It was also much easier on the eye and broke things down in a visually pleasing format compared to other guidebooks we had. Highly recommend!
Amy –
Jeannie is amazing. This guidebook helped my best friend and I make the most out of a six day November trip. All of the recommendations were spot on, and I am SO glad we took the time to see her hidden gems. Those places, especially the 10/5 rated places, were the most amazing places I have ever seen. We are so grateful, Jeannie!
Margot Smeenk –
Used the guidebook every single day on our recent South + West trip. Invaluable for locating gems and must sees, but also gas stations and toilets! Take the time to watch Jeannie’s excellent videos as well.
We did start to overdose on waterfalls and suggest adding a few more bad weather attractions (lava tunnel, Skogar museum and geothermal power plant were all good). Go to Iceland! You won’t regret it
Stephanie richards –
The southwest guide is amazing! I’ve been using it all week and would have been completely lost without it, it’s the best guide I’ve ever used. There are so many amazing things to see and do here that you would miss without the guide.
I’ve been using the link to the happy camper campsites which is also amazing but it would be so much easier if itcampsites were also included in the south west guide so that you didn’t have to go back and forth between the two maps.
Thanks so much Jeannie for an amazing trip…. if you could just figure out how to control the weather it would be perfect!
Michael –
This book and the map that can be downloaded to Google Maps was so incredibly helpful during our trip. So we’ll laid out and easy to use. I wouldn’t use anything other than this when going back to Iceland. 100% worth purchasing. Thank you for putting this together for us to use! It is truly appreciated.
John L –
Really love using Jeannie’s South+West Guidebook to plan our Iceland trip. Really useful and her videos are so much fun to watch.
Darrell Scott –
Jeannie’s South+West Self Drive eBook made it so much easier to plan our trip. Loved having all the necessary info in one easy to follow place. Also her Youtube videos were very helpful. I like the short single topic videos instead of an hour long video that has too much info at one time.
Katie –
Jeannie’s guidebook was very easy to read and broke down information about locations and planning that was much simpler and easier to digest than looking at the Lonely Planet guide. I love how she uses graphic organizers, photos, and simple bullet points to make the info stand out. Can you tell I’m a teacher lol?!? Also, the Google map she made that is included is so helpful. And the fact that she tells you how much time to spend at each attraction. So much more updated and current than published guide books.
kevin P kelleher –
I have been planning vacations for years and Jeannie’s South+West Self Drive eBook has answered all my planning questions. I enjoy all the “pro tips” and “hidden gems” that are included with all the areas to visit.
Dennis Ingamells –
Jeannie’s guide is outstanding, the information in the South + West book was informational and extremely helpful in planning our trip. The google map is so detailed – what a life saver!! If you are planning a trip to the South & West parts of Iceland, this is a must purchase guide!! Thank you Jeannie, we look forward to our trip in July.
Jenni –
Jeannie’s guide was absolutely amazing and such good value for money. I couldn’t believe the level of detail in the South + West Self Drive Guidebook. I read it cover to cover before our trip and it really helped me to plan out our itinerary. I also had it downloaded on my ipad and we used it constantly while we were in Iceland.
The insider tips were invaluable, like taking crampons in the winter, which hadn’t even crossed my mind beforehand, but were essential to have. I especially loved the tip to go to the Handknitting Associate of Iceland. I’m too tight to spend £150+ on a jumper, but I am a knitter and was able to buy a pattern book and the wool to knit my own Lopapeysa for less than £50!!
I found the google map to be less helpful as I couldn’t seem to browse through the highlighted locations. I suspect that was user error on my part though.
If you’re in two minds about whether this guide will be worth it, just get it, I promise you won’t be disappoint.
Lawrence Ernst –
We had purchased two guide books before we found Jeannie’s YouTube videos. We could tell that the information she was providing was exceptional. Having her travel information detailed and organized in an eBook is a must for anyone considering a trip to Iceland. Also critical are the driving and safety tips that she provides. In addition, her interactive map is amazing. We will be spending 15 days on Iceland and she has helped us so much with our planning with her detailed information. Thanks Jeannie!!!!!
Mary –
Just WOW! I’m planning the trip now and is so extremely well made it feels like I’m already and Iceland pro Lol. Not sure how other can manage without this!
Kelly V. –
This map and book took all the guesswork and research out of finding the places we knew we’d enjoy. Clear, concise directions with notes on distance, difficulty, how busy/touristy, and approximate time for each location. Our vacation was greatly enriched by this information.
Caro –
This guidebook was perfect! Easily broke things down for planning time/distance on our roadtrip. It saved a ton of research time. The gems were a hit. In true Iceland fashion, we were stranded due to weather but used the recommended road safety app (and appy hour app in Reykjavik :). We all bought blankets at the Hand knitting association of Iceland and they even ‘special fit’ made a sweater and mailed it to my friend! We would hands down recommend Jeannie & her guide!!
Sally –
I have just arrived home from an amazing week in Iceland. I found this guidebook to be so helpful! It really helped us to find some truly sensational places that we would never have known about otherwise. The information about filling petrol, road safety and weather was also very helpful. Thank you so much Jeannie, we really appreciate all of the information you provided us with and the map was so helpful too. We would definitely recommend this purchase to anyone wishing to travel to Iceland and make the most of their time there.
Pat –
The guidebook is a very thorough, very helpful, and easy to use resource for planning your trip. It was so easy to use that I’d pick the area we were going to go for the day based on the weather and hand the tablet with the guide to my wife. In 10 minutes she knew what she wanted to see and we were off. The Jeannie’s gems are truly gems. Several of them only had a handful of other people visiting at the same time we were there and for a couple of them, we were the only people there for a while!. It was like we stumbled on a secret! The details included for each attraction are really helpful, such as time needed to visit, parking, and facilities at each site. Thanks, Jeannie!
Heiko –
Das ist eine sehr gute Unterstützung für die Reisevorbereitungen die wir für November planen ,vor allen die Karte ist super!! Vielen Dank
Nick & Kayla –
Jeannie’s guidebook is fantastic! Purchasing this has made planning for our trip so much easier – especially for a visit in winter with questions around weather, driving, and limited daylight hours.
Joey –
I’m done researching! This colorful, creatively designed book is loaded with so MUCH information! I immediately downloaded it to my iPad for easy access while traveling. We’re bbout eight weeks away from our trip (Oct 7, 2021) – getting excited! Jeannie’s videos are fantastic too!
Colleen –
I really love the book. I bought the book for South+West travel in Iceland. It is so comprehensive and would have take me weeks to gather this vast amount of information (some of which I’m sure would not be available unless a person like Jeannie, who lives in Iceland, put this together). I am thrilled to have this resource as my daughter and I will be going on a self drive tour of the Reykjavik and the Golden Circle. The price of this resource is low and totally worth every penny.
Laura –
Lots of photos, tips and tricks. Very helpful to have it all in one place. I much preferred a how to tour Iceland from a native vs. someone who simply visited for 2 weeks. So much more information and insights!
Kate –
This travel guide saved us hours of work. The layout and design of the stops were amazing. We were able to find hidden gems that Jeannie mentioned that none of our other sources mentioned. We choose to stay at guest houses on this stretch of the trip and one of our hosts even remarked how good this guide is as it had the places he as a local recommends to his guests. If you are planning a trip to Iceland Jeannie’s materials are well worth their cost. In addition to stopping points she enclosed where the best camera angles are so you can capture the perfect pictures. Stop reading the reviews and hit the Purchase button now!
Michael Johnson –
Very good job consolidating information into the book and map. We have used both planing our trip and they have made our job much easier. The best part is that they were made by someone who understands what Americans want and look for information wise and delivers with the book and with the map. They have allowed us to shorten our research time.
Holly –
This is the absolute best resource for Iceland planning, I’ve sent so many people here! The YouTube channel covers everything you need to know to have a safe and happy trip, and her ebooks and maps are THE BEST for making sure you don’t miss the beautiful spots around the country! Thanks Jeannie!
David Graves –
Your best resource for all things Iceland! Highly recommend subscribing and watching her Youtube videos regarding driving, must see’s, and reminders. This was my second trip to Iceland. Buying the south and west coast guide made my trip much easier and more memorable. Many friends reached out seeing my pictures about adding Iceland to their bucket list. My first recommendation to each of them, trust “Iceland with a view” as the best resource for your trip.
Brenda Dietzman –
Best and most comprehensive information on Iceland. Our trip will be exponentially better because of this information. YOU ROCK!
Connie Harland –
When I started planning our trip, I found Jeannie’s youtube videos. I learned so much! I purchased the South + West self drive ebook. I love it and I am so happy to have this travel guide with us while in Iceland.
Fernando Pinho –
Stop looking and get this guide! Most likely, this is the only book you’ll ever need to plan your trip to Iceland.
Sharon Page –
I have been planning my trip to Iceland for a couple of months and came across Jeannie’s youtube videos (they are amazing!) and then purchased both the Ring Road Guide and South/West guides. Jeannie provides everything I need to know in these guides and I have been impressed and enthralled with the wealth of insider knowledge, tips and extensive information that is provided. Both guides are very easy to read and highly informative, as are the accompanying maps. These are an absolute must for anyone travelling to Iceland. Can’t wait to get there!
Jack Leggo –
My Iceland trip has been planned for six months now, I have done a lot of research and thought I knew just about everything I needed to know. Until I got your book ” WOW ” was I wrong. There is so much information in your book and places to see plus saving $$$$$$. Great book
Thanks
Bill Waters –
Wow, Jeannie’s e-books are amazing. I don’t know about most people but trying to plan a trip to a whole country is a bit overwhelming. Especially so when the names of the towns have about a dozen consonants in them. There’s so much to see and the e-book allows you to make the highest quality choices. And the Map! Oh my goodness, it’s so cool. Click on an item and you get all sorts of valuable info. I thought it was just going to give me the name! It’s genius.
Thank you so much, I’ve never been so excited about a trip.
George Manning –
I just got back, and am so grateful I had Jeannie’s book and map. The tips about what to pack, to get a modem, etc., were spot on, even before the insider info on locations and activities. My wife got tired of me saying, “well, Jeannie says…” but Jeannie was right!
Unlike other guide books, there isn’t a lengthy essay about each of two dozen restaurants in each tiny town. There might be just a short list, but we went to three of them and they were all great. In other words, you can and should trust what’s in the book.
And I thought the map was terrific, full of info on attractions, hidden gems, toilets (trust me), gas and more. I’m sad I won’t be going back to Iceland for a couple of years because I need to visit more of Jeannie’s Gems!
George Agridiotis –
If you want to plan a trip to South Iceland, Snaefellsnes Peninsula and Golden Circle this is the best and most updated guide and map in the world. I saved dozen of hours using this guide and map to do my itinerary.
BJG –
If you are planning a trip to Iceland, no doubt you’ve discovered how much information is out there as you try to plan. Whether you are a detailed planner, first time traveler, or somewhere in-between, this guide (and all Jeannie’s content) is a one-stop resource when you are headed to Iceland. Use it to get started, fill in the gaps, or assure yourself you’ve got all the inside information – the combination of the guide and map is one of the best investments you can make!
Janette Hatcher –
Search no more! You will find everything you need for your trip to Iceland with this E-book and map! I spent hours researching info on Iceland for our upcoming vacation. I stumbled upon Jeannie on her You Tube channel (check it out if you haven’t already). I debated about purchasing the Ring Road guide since I had already made arrangements for accommodations and had a loose itinerary planned. I’m so glad I made the purchase! The interactive map is full of all the places you can’t wait to see along with how much time to allow, places you didn’t know about, and the necessities like restrooms, gas stations, restaurants, parking and trail access info. I was able to place my own pins on the map marking our accommodations for each night. As soon as the South + West Ebook was published I purchased without hesitation. Although there is some overlap with general information between the two books, the map and info of the Golden Circle and Snaefellsnes are very detailed in the South + West guide. Buy the E-book! It will be the best $20.00 you spend on your vacation, taking away the stress of planning and adding to the magic of Iceland.
Megan –
This eBook is so jam-packed full of helpful info, it’s nuts! I’ve been planning this trip for several months, and the trips is still several months away. I’ve always been an over-planner and there have been times during this planning process I’ve been worried I’m missing something important. But this eBook and map have completely put all of those worries to rest. Jeannie answers almost any question about Iceland imaginable. From restaurant suggestions, money saving tips, cultural curiosities, and safety…she’s got it all. If you’re planning a trip here, I would seriously consider purchasing this eBook and map. It’s by far the best resource I have found yet! Thanks Jeannie! We can’t wait to explore this amazing country!
Donna Schilling –
I bought both the Ring Road and this ebook and they are both invaluable. We are RVing Ring Road in July and these books are so helpful in planning our trip. I love that there are pictures for every place mentioned and the maps are incredible!! So happy I stumbled upon Jeannie’s You Tube channel. All of her resources are the best!
Sandy Jordan –
It is an amazing book! So much information that make planning a breeze. We are using it currently, planning our best trip ever! easy!!!
Miriam –
This book was obviously a labour of love. The layout is easy to use, the info is concise and helpful, the timing tips are extremely useful, and the photographs are stunning. Combine that with the custom map where hidden gems and useful spots, like parking & restrooms, are noted, and you’ve got a great set of tools to plan your trip. I’d already mapped out a route for the South but this has been really reassuring that I’ve picked great locations for our interests AND has really helped me assess the timing of my trip. Thanks so much for putting this together.
Jill Natale –
This has relieved so much stress and so much time I can’t recommend Jeannies maps, books, and you tube videos enough! Thank you Jeannie for helping me with my epic 50th bday trip!
Sherri Griffiths-Gerbrandt –
I have been following ‘Iceland With a View’ for a long time now and get excited when My husband & I see the ‘inbox’. We love all the tips, maps updates and knowledge that Jeannie gives. We are super excited about finally planning our trip to Iceland & even may have my son come along to see my great grandparents homeland. I highly recommend this site for all its updates and friendliness. Thank you Jeannie & ‘Iceland with a view’.
Colleen –
I purchased both of Jeannie’s ebooks, and at first I was hesitant to purchase the South & West after buying the Ring Road. BUT I am so glad I did! It has so much extra information especially since we are planning to go to Snæfellsnes Peninsula! I love how the books break down locations and “gems” with helpful info about like the facilities, parking, pro tips, and especially the time allotment. We are using those timelines so we can try to see as much as possible! I also love how if it’s not a location to try doing in the winter she explains why. Now for the map, it’s basically Icelandic gold, I was trying to map things out myself but it was no where near as good! She’s literally thought of everything and even has a lot of the hot pots that I had been searching the internet to try and find directions with no luck! Definitely would recommend if you are trying to plan a trip yourself!
William Wheaton –
The map is easy to navigate, it will be an essential tool for me on my camper trip around Iceland in May/June. Offers lots of great information, and some excellent sights to take in along the way. Truely an excellent book!
Love from Canada! 🇨🇦
Saulius M. –
The book and accompanying map is very helpful, i.e. time+money saving for those who are planing short (few-days-long) visits to Iceland. It is prepared with love to this beautiful and inclement country, and with friendly attitude to readers, sharing insider’s knowledge, versatile suggestions and warnings how to avoid various hardships, troubles, inconveniences. Especially helpful are (1) map of Iceland ‘must see spots’, hidden gems, hot springs, swimming pools, parkings, shops, food and drink places, toilets, accommodation places, etc. etc.; (2) various ‘Nota Bene’ and evaluations how much time we should allocate to different places worth visiting (in addition to easy-to-get durations of moving from point A to pont B). AND, purchaser receives access to a VIP content of “Iceland with a View” web-portal.
So, it feels like buying the book – you buy true friendship of professional consultant, allowing you to quickly gain much deeper knowledge of Iceland 🙂 Thanks!
Laura Lei Lin –
Kept following Jeannie’s YouTube channel for a while, already learned tons and tons of useful tips and interesting facts about Iceland, one of the few countries on my bucket list. Now the eBook and the map gave me more confidence to start the journey in May. I thought I already did enough homework, but the book and map keep amazing me page after page. Can’t imagine how much effort Jeannie has put into this great project, to make this all possible! The book and map are a must, if you are a first-timer to Iceland. Money well spent! Thank you Jeannie for helping us!
Kali Ackerman –
We purchased the Ring Road Self Drive Guidebook last year when we traveled the Ring Road in May and it was amazing! As someone who isn’t big on planning and is more go with the flow, the map makes it so easy to decide which stops to make while you’re on the road. We will be going back to Iceland this June, and (unfortunately) only have enough time for the South Coast, Reykjanes, and Snaefellsnes Peninsula so we decided to purchase the new Guidebook. There is even more information and stops for these regions in the new book. We will definitely be relying on this once we get to Iceland, just like we did with the Ring Road Book! We can’t recommend these guidebooks enough!!
Raul –
I have been checking everywhere for any info for my trip in May. This book give me everything I need for it and more. I would recomend it for everyone. You save me and most important,my time. THANKS
Kortney S. –
Jeannie has provided amazing details and tips for traveling around Iceland. Traveling to a place like Europe means you have so many things to research and plan your trip. But there is much less information about Iceland. I’ve planned my trip almost completely off Jeannie’s tidbits as they are so simple and easy to understand. She gives the most important pieces of information necessary to plan an amazing trip! Totally worth the purchase!
Michelle Pack –
This guide and map are WONDERFUL!! Jeannie provides so much information – it’s AMAZING! I don’t think we could possibly have planned our trip without all of Jeannie’s videos, posts, and especially the guidebook and map!! It’s such a small cost for the amount of information you receive! Thanks Jeannie!!
Frank Sparrow –
Get the ebook and map. You have watched Jeannie’s Youtube videos. You have peaked around the free sections of her website. She gave you a discount code for your car rental, and it paid for your top-of-the-line car insurance that covers molten lava raining from the sky, wind driven sand and your car door blowing off the car. Jeannie has saved you hundreds of dollars already. Just get the ebook and map! I bought it. Both items are amazing. I love the ebook. I love the Google Map. The map has information in it that is invaluable. I am taking my teenage daughter to Vik and the Glacier Lagoon. For $20, the information in the map is priceless. I want Jeannie to form a network of Jeannie’s all around the world. Thank you for reading my review. P.S. Get the ebook!
Samantha –
The book and map are amazing! This is has been the single most helpful resource I have encountered! I far prefer it to the numerous travel books I had purchased. It’s thorough, but easily digestible. And the map is just incredible. It really has absolutely everything!
marilyn stewart –
Very informative. Love the access to maps with google also. Learning enough I feel able to drive myself. Plus learning of some areas I didn’t know about like the bridge between the tech tonic plates, Yes I’m stopping.
Joao Zornig –
The book and map are awesome!
We are in Iceland at the moment and it is really helping us during our journey, I am happy it was released right when we got here.
This country is not easy to get drive around during winter, the weather is crazy but the with the tips it feels safer, they are very useful and you can relax and enjoy the ride
We are following every single tip, today we went to Gljúfrabui falls, and it was great.
If you are coming to Iceland this guidebook and map are a must, they are definitely worth the money!
Kitt Williams –
I travel mostly solo and so I like to be VERY organized with my trips; where I’m going, what do I most want to see and do, what do I need to pack and especially for each season, what to avoid and what NOT to avoid. So its extremely important to have a guidebook so I can make educated decisions about my trip. I find Jeannie’s the best because it includes a map of the MOST important thing to know, where are the bathrooms!! No, seriously, only a woman knows the importance of these little things. I feel much more prepared to make my first trip to Iceland having bought her e-books and having them with me on this most amazing adventure!
Sage –
This is such a great resource!! I was debating whether or not to get it, since I had already planned the bulk of our trip in May, but in the end, I decided to give it a go….and I am SO GLAD I did! Things that I hadn’t been able to plan into my trip by myself are parking locations/fees, restroom locations, crowded times, “pro-tips,” the amount of time to spend at each location, and honestly, so much more. There are even some “Jeannie’s Gems” that can’t be found on Google – super neat places you would never know about otherwise.
No matter where you are with your Iceland planning, this will be useful for you. The map itself is totally worth it. If you’re on the fence about the purchase, just get it!!
Andrew –
Excellent guide and map my only problem was buying the guide, it was the first time that I had purchased a eBook online and the website timed out on me!
JUAN MORALES –
The book is really good, and the map is marvelous, the only negative thing that I can think of is that the book is not in epub or e-reader format but rather in PDF format, that probably plays better with the style of the book because of the beautiful images that it contains, it is not a problem itself but you should be aware of it. Can’t wait for my trip in September, getting closer by the minute 🙂
Tom lines –
The map alone is worth the money. I spent several long nights trying to create my own map for my trip and this version is still way better than mine. As for the book, it covers everything you need. Like…everything. If it isn’t covered, then it’s not worth worrying about. If you’re going to Iceland, purchase this as your very first step and all other steps of the planning after that will be so much easier.
Matthew Christian –
I have purchased this and the ring road guide. This is very helpful in identifying great POIs as well as seasonal information. Integrates so well with Google Maps! Thanks Jeannie so much! I have purchased 2 other books from Amazon. If I had come across this first, this would have been my only purchase without doubt! Great information, Great pics. Thanks a lot!
Melissa Adams-Cauble –
This book is great! Jeannie’s notes are clearly written and easy to follow. It will be handy to have all the tips in one place. The information regarding time she recommends to anticipate at a site is the most helpful to me in planning because I can anticipate how many beautiful stops will be reasonable for the time we have. I’m looking forward to using the interactive map too! Thanks, Jeannie!
Ignacio –
This book has more information than what you can find online anywhere else. And the map is pure gold! It’s not just full of useful pins but with tips and information for most of them.
Can’t wait to start planning my trip in September.
Rebekah Pashley –
Very helpful and easy to understand. Concise yet detailed at the same time. Very happy and going to be super helpful when we go to Iceland!!
