There's lots to see) Do them in whatever order you're feeling. We usually get out to Vik or Glacier Lagoon on day 1, then head back with more stops. Landing at Kef, then head down road 44. Valahnúkamöl is a nice first stop. Bridge Between two continents is also a nice quick stop. Then through Grindavik (verify this road is open, there's been volcano activity) Then down the 427 in the direction of Þorlákshöfn. At this point if you're headed to Glacier Lagoon(Jökulsarlon), you can put that in the GPS. You'll pass Seljalandsfoss and Selfoss along the way. If Westman Islands is on your tour (nice puffin spot May-August) the ferry leaves right near Seljalandsfoss. Dyrhólaey is a nice stop as you get closer to Vik Reynisfjara Beach is the 'black sand beach' with the basalt columns and and caves. Vik is a nice place to spend a night. Easy grocery store and restaurants. Going down to the beach in Vik is also really nice. Heading back towards Glacier Lagoon, Svartifoss is a nice hike. About 1.5 hours round trip if you take your time. Svínafellsjökull Glacier is also really nice since you can walk up to the glacier. Glacier Lagoon is nice, and Diamond beach as well depending on the time of the year. Hotel Jökulsarlon is a nice spot to stay out that direction. For second tour (2-3 days) Snæfellsnes is my second suggestion for a tour of a few days. Kirkjufellsfoss is nice. You can stay in Grundarfjörður for a night which is very close. Northern lights at Kirkjufellsfoss are very nice. Depending on the time of the year, you can potentially drive over the glacier which is really cool. You can either do it from the Ólafsvík side, or the side from Arnarstapi. The famous Black Church is out this way as well. These are just a few suggestions. We just like to pick an airbnb that looks nice and explore without a big plan most trips. Get my Presets, and Full Length Courses by signing up here: https://www.taylorjacksoncourses.com/members
