Iceland has become such a popular tourist destination and rightfully so! This incredible island has so much to offer whether you are visiting for a few nights or a few weeks. After having the opportunity to visit Iceland for a beautiful proposal which you can check out here I knew that I had to come back and explore more. So Chris and I booked our flights and began planning our Iceland roadtrip. One of the things I pride myself on is planning trips and finding hidden gems. We love to venture off the beaten path and find less crowded places to visit all while making sure to visit the ‘hotspots’ to check them off our bucket list. In the age of social media hidden gems are becoming less hidden and the real ones are really quite hard to find. So being able to visit them and enjoy them without another person around really feels like an accomplishment. We really dug deep while planning our Iceland roadtrip to ensure we could get a great mix of off the beaten path gems and tourist hotspots.

After spending two weeks travelling around the entire ring road and Westfjords on our Iceland roadtrip living in a campervan driving over 3000km with two of our friends we have to say Iceland is place to visit for everyone. From the incredible black sand beaches, thousands of waterfalls cascading over the mountains, volcanoes both dormant and active, mountains, fjords, secret hot springs and so much more this country has so much to offer. I have put together a list of some of our favourite spots we visited, but the hidden spots will stay hidden. I encourage you to dig deep on every adventure you find – open google maps, ask locals, really dig deep into blogs to find your own hidden gems – this is when you feel the most sense of accomplishment when you finally stumble across a place.
