Camping Cars Car Rental

Reviewed By kaitlyno628

This is the only way to travel around Iceland-- Especially if you want to get off the ring road and explore some off road attractions. The tent was super easy to use and stayed warm and dry in rain and heavy wind. We saw a lot of different camping cars but the vans would not have been able to go where we took our Camping Car. No issues whatsoever. Would definitely use them in the future. Staff super helpful and knowledgeable and took us to and from the airport super fast. Get the extras! We used them and it was worth it. Great quality!!

Blue Lagoon

Named in 2012 as one of National Geographic's “25 Wonders of the World," Blue Lagoon has evolved from its infancy as a reservoir of geothermal runoff into a world of geothermal wonder. The unique properties of its waters provide not only an enchanting lagoon experience, but also the patented, active ingredients in Blue Lagoon skin care: silica, algae, and minerals. Blue Lagoon is located in a sprawling, 800­ year ­old lava field in the heart of the Reykjanes Peninsula – a UNESCO Geopark. Just 20 minutes from Keflavík International Airport and 50 minutes from Reykjavík, Blue Lagoon is simultaneously remote and easily accessible.

Wonderful hotel with 5 star accommodations, restaurants, and private spa. Hotel guests have access to a private section of the Blue Lagoon which is a thermal outdoor spa heated by volcanic water and rich in minerals.

Viking World

Viking World is the home of the Viking Ship Íslendingur (the Icelander). Built in 1996, Icelander is an exact replica of the famous Gokstad ship, a remarkable archaeological find of an almost completely intact Viking ship, excavated in Norway in 1882. Viking World is also a home of the Viking millennium exhibition produced by the Smithsonian Institution called Vikings: The North Atlantic Saga. This exhibition sheds light onto the Norse settlement and explorations of unknown lands. These two fine projects, both celebrate Iceland's central role in the discovery of North America a 1000 years ago by the Norse Vikings. They have now found a permanent home in Viking World, a spectacular modern building situated right by the Faxafloi bay in the town of Reykjanes, and can be easily spotted from the main road between the international airport and Reykjavík.

I love Vikings and their history. They were intrepid geniuses, who invented numerous ways to navigate the seas. They were also what the Icelanders call, “sjalfstætt folk,” their word for independent people, that literally means “people who stand on their own feet.” The first settlers to Iceland were people who refused to be subject to a king and founded a republic, including the world’s first parliament, with a law system of unrivaled sophistication. Quite the accomplishment when you demand to be independent. In that spirit, at the 1000th anniversary of Leif Erikson’s voyage to the Americas, a very independent ship builder, and descendent of Leif Eriksson, Captain Eggertsson of the Westman Islands, decided to build by hand, a replica of a Viking ship and sail it to the places Leif was known to have visited. This glorious museum houses this ship, along with excellent and accurate descriptions of Viking life and history, plus the background of what motivated Leif’s journeys. Plus, it’s right near Keflavik International Airport, so you can make a stop at the beginning or end of your trip to Iceland. Best part ever!!! - you can walk around on the ship. It’s placed so that you feel as if you are sailing out to sea. Utterly brilliant. And afterwards, you can sit under it in the coffee garden, and marvel at what independent people will do when they yearn to see what is just there, beyond the horizon...
