This 6-day Iceland Ring Road tour takes you all the way around the country in summer by minibus, with a glacier hike, the Katla ice cave and a whale watching trip included. Hotels with breakfast are booked for you, so all you do is enjoy the ride.
Six days is short for the whole Ring Road, and this tour makes it work by letting the guide do the driving and planning. You cover the Golden Circle, the South Coast, the glaciers of Vatnajökull, the East Fjords and the Mývatn area before heading back to Reykjavík.
Three activities are included, which is unusual for a tour at this price: a visit to the Katla ice cave, a 3-hour glacier hike (on Sólheimajökull or in Skaftafell), and a whale watching trip from Hauganes in Eyjafjörður. On other days you can add horse riding, a boat ride on Jökulsárlón or a soak at the Vök Baths.
You travel in a modern minibus with Wi-Fi and a maximum of 18 guests. Nights are spent in countryside hotels, in double rooms with a private bathroom and breakfast. Some days are long, especially the last day back to Reykjavík, but the stops are frequent and well spaced.
The tour runs from May to September, when the roads in the East and North are open and the days are long. Weather can still change quickly, so the guide may adjust the order of stops to get the best conditions.
It is enough to see the main sights on a guided tour, because you do not lose time planning or driving yourself. Expect some long days, especially the last one back to Reykjavík.
In countryside hotels with private bathrooms and breakfast, such as Drangshlíð on the South Coast, or similar. Exact hotels depend on availability.

Could not have asked for a better tour to explore Iceland on our first trip to Europe!
Stunning nature, beautiful countryside hotels and the best people.
Solo avevamo sei giorni, ma abbiamo visto tutta l’Islanda in modo perfetto. Cascate, ghiacciai e villaggi pittoreschi. Organizzazione ottima e guida fantastica.
Luca B.We joined this tour with our two teenagers, and it was the best choice. The drives were never too long, the stops were exciting, and there was always something for the kids to enjoy. The guide was patient and funny, which made the trip even better.
Sarah J.Iceland’s beauty is indescribable, but what made this tour special was the storytelling. Our guide shared folklore about trolls, elves, and volcanoes, turning each stop into a living history lesson. We visited waterfalls, lava fields, and even tiny fishing villages that weren’t crowded at all. The logistics were flawless, and I felt I could just relax and enjoy the adventure.
James, U.El tour abarcó paisajes inolvidables: cascadas impresionantes, lagunas glaciares, fiordos y playas negras. El guía fue atento y profesional, siempre compartiendo anécdotas que enriquecieron la experiencia. El tamaño del grupo hizo todo muy personal y cómodo. ¡Una experiencia totalmente recomendable para descubrir Islandia en poco tiempo!
Claudia R.The whole trip felt effortless. From pickup in Reykjavík to comfortable hotels, everything was smooth. Each day brought new surprises—the glacier lagoon was my favorite!
David M.This tour was everything I hoped for and more. We started in Reykjavík and spent six days seeing waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches, and geothermal wonders. The pace was just right—never rushed, always enough time to soak it in. Our guide’s passion for Icelandic culture and stories made every stop meaningful. I can’t recommend this enough if you want a complete yet stress-free experience of Iceland.
Emma W.Absolutely fantastic! One of the best trips of my live.
ChristineThis tour gave me the best six days of my life! I had been wanting to visit Iceland for so long and I finally manage to make it happen. It was the best experience ever.
Did the full Ring Road in 6 days and had a blast every minute of it. The tour rand the trip was totally worth it and I can't wait to do it again!
We had an incredible six-day tour around Iceland, filled with unforgettable experiences. Our guide, Siggi, was outstanding—his deep knowledge of Iceland’s history, culture, and natural wonders made the journey truly special. At every stop, he shared unique stories and insights that we would have missed on a self-drive tour, making the trip even more memorable.
Jonathan A. · April 2025I recently took the 6-day Iceland Ring Road Tour with Iceland Travel Guide and it was an incredible experience. The tour covered many of Iceland's most famous landmarks, including the Golden Circle, Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, and the northern lights. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the accommodations were comfortable and well-located.
The highlight of the tour for me was visiting the Vatnajökull National Park. The park is home to some of Iceland's most stunning landscapes, including glaciers, waterfalls, and black sand beaches. I also enjoyed the trip to the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, where we got to see huge chunks of ice floating in the water.
The tour was well-organized and well-paced. We had plenty of time to explore each destination and take in the sights, but we also moved on to the next place at a good time. The tour also included a number of optional activities, such as horseback riding and ice cave exploring, which were a great way to add to the experience. Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Iceland and see its many highlights. It's a great way to experience the country's natural beauty, culture, and history.
