Summer is the perfect time to explore Iceland. The endless daylight and clear roads open up driving possibilities that are not available when visiting during other times of the year. If you are visiting Iceland during the warmer months, you might want to consider hiring a rental car and discovering what the island has to offer beyond the capital city of Reykjavík and the popular Golden Circle attractions.

Driving Iceland’s south coast along scenic Route 1 will bring you to some of the country’s most spectacular natural wonders, including the majestic Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls and Jökulsárlón, a glacial lagoon full of floating blue icebergs. Iceland’s Ring Road offers a road trip that visitors will not soon forget.

Hella

Approximately 80 kilometers from Reykjavík, drivers will reach the small agricultural community of Hella. An important area for horse-breeding, Hella offers visitors many opportunities for horseback riding, a popular tourist activity in Iceland. Visitors to the horse farms can take in the beauty of the Icelandic Horse, a small breed unique to the island country. On clear days, Hella and its surrounding hills offer views of the nearby volcano Hekla.
