Holiday Home Vacation

Stay in holiday homes

If you would like some peace and quiet in inspiring surroundings with family and friends, a holiday home vacation is right for you.

Holiday home packages include accommodation in privately owned houses. Bed linen, towels, heating and electricity is included. The houses are equipped with kitchen facilities, refrigerator, shower, toilet and living room/area. At the end of your stay you have to clean the house yourself.

We suggest visiting Mývatn in the north, bathing in the Blue Lagoon, seeing the colossal waterfall Gullfoss in the southwest, as well as Jökulsárlón glacier in the southeast. These are only suggestions – there is much more to explore.

One-week programme

With the one week trip you have 3 days in the Mývatn/Akureyri area and then 4 days in the Egilstaðir area in the east.

Two-week programme

With the two week programme you have 3 nights in the north and then the route goes counterclockwise around the country. Depending on the availability, the route can also take you clockwise around the country, starting off in the south.

Driving in Iceland

Driving in Iceland might be quite different from what you are used to. We recommend that you check safetravel.is where you will find descriptions of what you can expect and guidelines about how to handle different situations that might arise.

Travelling on a motorcycle

The routes, which are most suitable for motorcycles, are route 1, 5, 8 and 17. It is also possible to go into the highlands (route 3 and route 7) on a motorbike, but this is only for experienced drivers.

Snow chains

We recommend bringing along snow chains during the period outside June, July and August.

Fixed routes

The routes in Iceland are fixed. In the event of fully booked accommodation during the high season (June, July and August), travellers may expect slight changes to the itineraries.
