If you are planning on traveling to Iceland, having the right Google maps and directions can be a great asset. We started planning our Iceland adventure about a year in advance, after purchasing plane tickets shortly after returning home from our honeymoon in Mexico. With an Iceland vacation like this, where we decided to spend 10 days in the country by campervan, it was essential to make a list of Iceland tourist attractions and places to stay in Iceland. After some digging, we had discovered that some folks on Reddit’s Visiting Iceland forum had made Google Drive itineraries, and we decided to create our own as a result.

You should keep in mind that when traveling to Iceland, you will need to be flexible in your plans as so many things can impact your time there. Weather, sheep herding, community events, and even volcano eruptions have impacted countless trips by tourists to this island nation.

Our Google Drive Iceland Itinerary provides a basic overview of our trip — where we traveled the Ring Road, Snaefellsnes Peninsula, and part of the Westfjords in 10 days (as well as a few other off-the-beaten road stop offs).
