This was probably one of the better ideas we've ever had. We spent nine days in Iceland and did the ring road in seven days. We spent a good amount of time driving but the views were well worth it. Any and all expectations were blown out of the water, simply Iceland is stunning. We just got back and I am ready to go back. I think it would take years to see all Iceland has to offer.
Here a breakdown of our trip
Day 1: Arrived and drove to Snæfellsnes Penninsula
Day 2: Stykkisholmur to Akureyri to Myvatn
Day 3: Myvatn to Seyðisfjörðu
rDay 4: Seyðisfjörður to Skaftafel
lDay 5: Skaftafell to Vik
Day 6: Vik to Reykjavik
Day 7: Reykavik
Day 8: Reykavik
Day 9: Depart
If you are wanting to go around the ring road your best bet is to rent a car. Car rentals are expensive as are buses but you have the luxury of moving at your own pace. We rented our car through Geysir and had no problems. It was one of the cheaper options with better reviews. Iceland is rather expensive but if your willing to camp and do your own cooking, you can get by without spending much. Bonus grocery stores are a good place to buy food. Wild camping is permitted, just stay away from homes, farms, and in national parks. We were told by a local that as long as your by a steam its fair game. Also every town has a campsite which run on average around $10 per person.
Iceland is by far one of the prettiest places on Earth.
