​
We are happy to make you an offer with accommodation ranging from simple guesthouses to Luxury Hotels! ​

This itinerary is a suggestion for private groups who want to see as much of Iceland as possible by driving once around the island along the ring road. 

We have a range of charming  guesthouses and hotels (3 to 5 Star hotels) in the countryside that can accommodate small and larger private groups. All of our hotels have excellent restaurants and bar facilities. 

During the Northern Lights season (September/October to March/April) a countryside location is always preferrable since it will give you better darkness to see the lights. 

​Please note that this itinerary is just an example and days can be exchanged, the program can be shortened or altered to your wishes!
