Hello!!
Thanks for your message, we love to help people like you ;) Iceland Itinerary: Monday, Sept. 1st – Depart LAX 12:20pm Tuesday, Sept. 2nd – Arrive Reykjavik 9:10am -Pick up Rental Car -Visit Pingvellier National Park -Stay in Hella/Selfoss Why don't you make the Golden Circle in one day? You have enough time by far and you will save time for other places. About the Rental Car. I recommend you to hire a car with Reykjavík Cars since they have very good prices (we did a price comparison last month and they won it) and many readers did write fantastic reviews about them. Wednesday, Sept. 3rd – Great Geysir/Gulfoss -Stay in same accommodations Think what i did suggest ;) Thursday, Sept. 4th – Landmannalaugar Region -Stay in same accommodations Perfect Friday, Sept. 5th – Vik/Dyrholaey Beach -Where to stay in Vik?? Yes, thats a lovely place Saturday, Sept. 6th – Westman Islands -Boat tour/Hike/Explore Sunday, Sept. 7th – Westman Islands Is a second day on the Icelands over kill? Yes Monday, Sept. 8th – Vatnajokull National Park -Hikes/Explore -Hotel Skaftafell Perfect Tuesday, Sept. 9th – Jokularslon Glacier Lagoon -Hotel Skaftafell Wednesday, Sept. 10th- Drive to Reykjavik Yes Thursday, Sept. 11th – Reykjavik -Blue Lagoon Perfect Friday, Sept. 12th – Depart for LAX --- I suggest you to change your itinerary into this: Monday, Sept. 1st – Depart LAX 12:20pm Tuesday, Sept. 2nd – Arrive Reykjavik 9:10am Golden Circle Wednesday, Sept. 3rd Landmannalaugar Region Thursday, Sept. 4th – Vík Friday, Sept. 5th – Vatnajokull National Park Saturday, Sept. 6th – Eskifjörður (east Iceland) Sunday, Sept. 7th – Myvatn Lake (north) Monday, Sept. 8th – Myvatn Lake (north) Tuesday, Sept. 9th – Akureyri Wednesday, Sept. 10th- Drive to Reykjavik / Reykjavík Thursday, Sept. 11th – Reykjavik - Blue Lagoon Friday, Sept. 12th – Depart for LAX Let me know what you think, ;) Berglind Rós
