Day 4 on Iceland's south coast — Seljalandsfoss waterfall (absolutely worth staying longer!), Skógafoss (rainbow included), and the dramatic black sand beach at Reynisfjara.
Day 3 on the Golden Circle — Þingvellir National Park, Geysir Hot Spring Area, and Gullfoss waterfall. We did all three in a Yellow Alert storm and still had a great time.
Day 2 in Reykjavík — Ocean Front Villa accommodation, Hallgrímskirkja, Rainbow Street, Icelandic Street Food bread bowls, Tjörnin lake, the famous Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur hot dog stand, Harpa concert hall, and the Sun Voyager.
This autumn we took a family trip of five to Iceland for 14 days (about 11 days on the ground). Here's everything on renting a car, reading the weather, chasing the northern lights, and rough costs.
