You’ve heard of Iceland… but have you heard of You’ve heard of Iceland… but have you heard of Mini Iceland? 🤔🇮🇸

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

This region packs everything you love about Iceland into one dreamy, easy-to-explore route — iconic mountains like Kirkjufell, charming fishing villages, dramatic black sand beaches, and volcanic cliffs that look like they belong on another planet. 😍

And the best part? It’s all packed into just 56 miles. No endless driving or long car days required to experience this little slice of Icelandic paradise. 

Sound dreamy?

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)?

But when the wind’s coming in sideways and your umbrella’s doing cartwheels down the street, you’ll wish you packed smarter 😏

Iceland doesn’t play — one minute it’s sunny skies, the next you’re caught in a torrential downpour.

From layering like a pro to prioritizing comfort, these are the 4 rules I stick to every time I travel in Iceland.

They’ll keep you warm, dry, and TOTALLY prepared for whatever the day throws at you!

You wake up to breathtaking views... You make cof You wake up to breathtaking views...

You make coffee in your french press and start making eggs & bacon in your camping stove 🍳☕️

You snuggle up beside your loved one and eat breakfast together gazing out at rugged volcanic terrain, massive glaciers, and powerful waterfalls 🌋

You hit the road on your own time for another day of exploring...today you’re going to check out a geothermal hot spring. You gaze out the window and take in the scenery along the way!

If this sounds like a dream come true (and trust me...it is)

...Then renting a camper van in Iceland is the best option for you! 🙌

Not only is this option your wheels and your bed, but it’s also equipped for cooking as well!

For budget travelers and adventure lovers alike, renting a camper van for your Iceland trip is an AMAZING option. 💃

And the BEST Iceland campervan company that I have used and always highly recommend is Happy Campers :)

They’re a family-run business that’s been operating in Iceland since 2009. 

They know Iceland camper van rentals inside-out — and I ALWAYS recommend them to anyone who wants to see the country in this unique, budget-friendly way. 💸

If an Iceland road trip is calling your name, you can get SWEET discount by heading to the link in my bio! 🔗

Let me know...have you ever dreamt of traveling Iceland — camper van style? 🚐👇
