Vik self-drive tour packages offer adventurous travelers the freedom to explore Iceland’s South Coast at their own pace. Unlike guided group tours, self-drive options let you take the wheel, plan flexible stops, and enjoy the thrill of discovering iconic attractions like Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, Reynisfjara, and Dyrhólaey on your own schedule. With thoughtfully arranged packages that include accommodations, rental cars, and detailed itineraries, these tours provide both convenience and independence for an unforgettable Icelandic adventure.
Self-drive packages are perfect for travelers who want flexibility without sacrificing comfort. You’ll still receive a carefully designed itinerary and expert recommendations, but you can customize your journey based on your interests. If you see a photo-worthy waterfall along the way, you can stop as long as you like. If the Northern Lights suddenly appear, you have the freedom to chase them at a moment’s notice..

Pick up your rental car in Reykjavik and begin your drive along the Ring Road. Stop at Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss before arriving in Vik. Spend the evening walking on Reynisfjara Beach.
Visit Dyrhólaey Peninsula, explore Solheimajokull Glacier, and drive to Fjadrargljufur Canyon. If traveling in winter, head out at night to look for the Northern Lights.
Drive east to Jokulsarlon and Diamond Beach for an unforgettable encounter with floating icebergs. Return to Vik for the night or continue your road trip along the South Coast.
Driving yourself allows ultimate flexibility and independence. You decide when to stop, how long to stay, and whether to add side trips to hidden gems. It also provides the comfort of traveling with only your group or family, without the need to keep to a fixed bus schedule.
Summer (June–August) offers long daylight hours, mild weather, and easy driving conditions, making it the most popular time for self-drive packages. Winter (November–March) provides a completely different adventure with snow-covered landscapes, fewer crowds, and opportunities to see the Northern Lights, though extra caution is needed on icy roads.
