Heads Up
  • Check road.is daily for wind and weather closures, even in summer.
  • Pre-book Blue Lagoon and popular glacier tours at least 4 weeks in advance.
  • Gas stations are sparse in the East Fjords; refill when the tank is half full.
  • Respect all safety barriers at Reynisfjara Beach due to dangerous sneaker waves.
