Silver Circle & Snæfellsnes Peninsula
West Iceland short loop: Hraunfossar, Langjökull ice tunnel, geothermal hot springs, and a drive around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Heading northwest from Reykjavík, the traffic is noticeably lighter than on the South Coast, and driving times are short. Spend half your time soaking in hot springs and exploring ice tunnels in the Borgarfjörður valley, and the other half driving around the peninsula to see the coastline and Kirkjufell. Skipping the South Coast entirely, this route is perfect for repeat visitors or those on a short holiday looking to escape the crowds.
