2026 Eastern Region Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

#campingfun Camping in Svinafell, Iceland was one of the best experiences of my trip! Located right in the heart of the Vatnajökull National Park, the campsite was surrounded by incredible glacier views and rugged mountains. For around 2,000 ISK per night (about $15), I set up my tent in a peaceful spot with facilities like hot showers and a kitchen—super handy after a long day of exploring. The highlight of my stay was hiking up to Svinafellsjökull Glacier, just a short walk from the campsite. The views were breathtaking, and I even spotted some ice climbers braving the blue ice walls. There’s no entrance fee for the glacier, which makes it even better. If you’re looking for more adventure, the famous Skaftafell National Park is nearby, with its stunning waterfall, Svartifoss, and more hiking trails to explore. Overall, camping in Svinafell felt like I was in another world. The crisp, fresh air and the closeness to Iceland’s wild beauty made it truly memorable. #CampingInIceland #Svinafell #GlacierAdventures #VatnajokullNationalPark #NatureGetaway #IcelandTravel

After a long drive in and out of the Eastfjords from the South Coast, I had to really work up the courage to hike before driving to my accommodation in Seyðisfjörður. I'm glad I did it. I really want to see this striped waterfall. This is a steep uphill hike, but luckily it’s not too long at only 2km each way. In fact, you can see the upper part of the waterfall from the beginning of the hike. The last 25% or so of the hike is a rough, stone path filled with slippery boulders. However, it should be no problem for people of average physique and agility to take their time. The 360 ​​degree views up and down are amazing. On the way to climb the small waterfall, you will pass Littlefoss. There is a viewing platform at the end of the trail where you can see the beautiful scenery of the waterfall. If you wish you can walk over the boulders outside the trail to get closer to the waterfall. Interesting waterfall, tall and the earth surrounding it has colorful streaks due to different mineral layers. We climbed steadily up the mountain along the path on the left. We chose a different side on the way down, and the view down was less steep overall, but with punctuated steeper intervals. #outdoors #iceland #hiking trails #hiking trails #easy hike #canyoning #waterfalls

Iceland Winter Limited - Blue Ice Cave ❄️❄️ This trip I joined 2 Glacier Construction Bank🥾 1 is a 3 hour Katla Ice Cave The other is the 6-hour Vatnajokull Ice Cave This article mainly wants to introduce the 6-hour Vatnajokull Ice Cave🤗 This local tour is always a bit difficult So there will be a little limit ⚠️⚠️ Please check carefully before registering!! ️‼ ️‼ ️ Let's say 6 hours glacier construction But it is not a full 6 hours walk, please rest assured Because there will be a ride and photo time 👐🏻 I think the round trip adds up to about 3-3.5 hours if you really walk It's actually a little hard...😰😰 The day was a hike up the glacier in -13 degrees Needless to say it was cold as hell!!❄️☃️ But because there is a fierce sun shining on the glacier Then reflected on it is actually really not funny 🤡 Luckily I brought sunglasses 🥹🥹 But please believe... 💕💕The hard work is worth it💕💕 The most talked about entering the Blue Ice Cave was "Wow!! Beautiful crazy!!" "Help!! It's so beautiful!!"😍 #Iceland #Aurora #iceland #Winter Trip #Blue Ice Cave #Ice and Snow World #Human Wonderland #Overseas Tour #honeymoon

As for the Iceland cave tour, since you need a tour guide, you basically have to join a local tour. The entrance to the cave is a bit narrow and you need to crawl in. It is very spectacular inside. Except for the ground, the entire cave is covered with permafrost. The super high snow wall on the exterior looks dirty and black because of the volcanic ash. The picture of the waterfall is Svartisfoss, in Iceland National Park. #IcelandTravel

Super invincible beautiful diamond ice beach Stop by on the way back to Reykjavik after a trip to Blue Ice Cave In fact, it was only around 3pm but already sunset took particularly beautiful photos Next to it is the glacier lake you can see together There are snack bars and toilets nearby Self-drive tour is recommended Most groups that go to Blue Ice Cave also visit these two places together #Europe travel #overseas travel #Iceland

Autumn in Iceland is truly amazing. The best time to visit and explore. Because you can enjoy all seasons. The temperature is also quite good, ranging from 1°C to 8°C. #payandtravelwithbrain #tripistemewabirthday Location 5 Skútafoss 3 Sisters Waterfall Hiking within 1 km #payandtravelwithbrain #tripistemewabirthday The best way to fly here and there.

Diamond Beach is one of the most spectacular places in Iceland. It's a black sand beach littered with huge chunks of ice that have broken off from the nearby Jökulsárlón glacier and were carried all the way to the beach. You can explore the area on foot or join a short boat tour. Bring a bottle to carry some of the melting water, which is so pure and delicious. Wildlife enthusiasts will also find many birds here. Diamond Beach is located in Jökulsárlón on the south coast of Iceland. You can get there on your own with a rental car, or join one of the daily tours. The area itself is open all day and is free of charge, though you do have to pay for the boat tour.

The Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon in southern Iceland flows into the Atlantic Ocean through a short waterway. Some of the ice is washed back to the shore by the waves, leaving behind shiny ice blocks of different sizes on the black sand beach, which is also known as the Diamond Black Sand Beach. There were a lot of ice cubes scattered on the beach. I was so engrossed in taking photos that two hours passed in a flash. #Travel Photo Girl#Where to go in December

At the end of 2019, the last time I went abroad before the pandemic. Thankful to be able to visit Iceland, in a country that I wanted to visit as a child, when FF would have a lot of ice Iceland, just I went at the end of November is not very thick ice, the whole trip is very rich, I believe I will go again. One of the itineraries is to visit the Golden Circle. These fountain wonders are really magic moments. It is not easy to take pictures of those few seconds when they erupt. If we can't fly, we can only reminisce about old photos😚 #Travel Photography Beautiful Girl #Island Holiday #The Coolest Travel Experience #Overseas Travel

The diamond-like ice blocks on Iceland's Diamond Beach are actually black sand beaches that drifted from the nearby glacial lake to the shore, forming this unique place. On the third day of our self-driving tour, we arrived at the Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach in the morning, and then went to the nearby lobster town of Hofn for lunch. We had to drive a relatively long distance to get closer to the attractions we were going to visit tomorrow, but these two attractions in the morning left me with deep memories. #TheMostStylishTravelExperience #GoToTheBorderInDecember #ScenicScenicPhotographyGuide #TravelInspiration #NaturalWonders #Overseas Travel

The highlands in Iceland is one of my favorite places on Earth. The different textures and colors that cover the landscape are absolutely breathtaking. One I have is to rent a 4x4 vehicle and drive yourself out into the highlands. You travel through rivers, crossing by beautiful scenery. I would recommend having a guide though, or at least a map, because getting lost can be pretty easy to do. Iceland will always be one of my favorite places to travel to, and that’s why I highly recommend checking it out! #iceland #awesomepic #europe

If you're in Iceland hiking a glacier is a must. It's sp special and a complete different nature experience. Walking between ice falls and cracks is scary but rewarding. Go with a guide who has the right equipement and knowledge.

The famous glacier lagoon in Iceland was beautiful, just after a storm had passed. Large pieces of ice everywhere

We spent half of the day here, watching seals fishing between big pieces of ice floating! We were dying to visit this place, a dream came true.

Icelandic itinerary and season selection advice When will you come to Iceland? Aurora's most observable month is from September to April, and the blue ice cave is visible from October to March, so if you really want to see Aurora and experience the Blue Ice Cave, you have to be in these months. coming. However, due to the extreme night phenomenon in December, it is recommended to go to October, November, February, and March. At midnight in February, at 9:00, and at 6:00, there is still plenty of sunshine. Touring. Small advice on the itinerary: 1 Do not schedule too tight! Stay in the place you like very much for a night, such as the Straw Mountain, near the glacial lake, because it is very likely that the weather is very violent and it is impossible to visit. 2 Allow enough time for the event you want to participate in. In the summer, there are glacial lake cruises, horse-riding tours, boat-to-sea whale watching and other summer-specific projects. In winter (including part of spring and autumn), there are winter-specific projects such as blue ice caves and snowmobiles. After booking the project, give enough time for these experiences and try not to travel long distances to the project site.

After a long day of driving on the road, tonight we arrived in the eastern Icelandic town of Egilsstaðir to stay. The Athome Apartment we checked into is actually a high-rise building, which is quite rare in Iceland! Stepping inside, the super spacious and comfortable living room, spotless bathroom, and cozy, soft beds instantly washed away the day's exhaustion. Gathering around the dining table, brewing hot tea, and sharing good food and laughter—these are the most precious moments of the trip. While it was still slightly light out, we couldn't resist heading out for a quick jog and stroll. The town at night is quiet and gentle. Streetlights cast a glow on the damp streets, reflecting the lights from Íslandsbanki and Lyngás Guesthouse, offering a unique warmth amidst the chill. A road trip brings both snowstorms and surprises, but as long as there’s a warm place to rest when night falls, it makes for the best travel memories! ❤️ 📸 Photo Diary: Photo 1 | A rare high-rise apartment: In Iceland, a land mostly filled with plains and small towns, this gray high-rise apartment stands out as incredibly unique. Photos 2–3 | Minimalist and comfortable sleeping space: Neat single beds and soft lighting offer a good night's sleep for weary bodies. Photo 4 | Clean and modern bathroom: A sleek, modern bathroom with a bathtub to wash away the dust from a full day of driving.

Photos 8–10 | A night jog and stroll around town: Passing by Lyngás Guesthouse and Íslandsbanki, breathing in the purest Icelandic night air on the cool streets. 📍 Accommodation: Athome Apartments, Egilsstaðir, East Iceland 🇮🇸

We chose to take the mountain pass, but as we drove higher, the sky grew darker and darker, seeming like it was starting to rain, but it felt different. I rolled down the window and caught some drops on my hand—it was snow! ❄️ My very first snow experience! 🥹✨ We pulled over at the eye-catching little red emergency shelter, Stefansbud, to take it all in. Everyone excitedly hopped out of the car, playing in the snow like kids—snapping photos and opening our arms to catch the falling snowflakes. The bright yellow jacket against the pure white snow and the vibrant red house made every shot look incredibly photogenic! Despite the freezing weather, our hearts were warmed by this unexpected first snow. That's the true charm of an Iceland road trip: you never know what surprises await around the next bend! 📸 Photo Diary: Pics 2-4 | A vast white wonderland: The higher we drove, the more the surroundings were blanketed in a thin layer of snow, turning into a vast, moody white wonderland. Pic 5 | Our super dirty chariot: Our mud-splattered "chariot" parked on the snowfield, a true testament to our hardcore journey through the harsh weather. Pics 1, 6 | The eye-catching little red house: That pop of bright red from the Stefansbud emergency shelter against the pristine white snow is the warmest and most beautiful sight in this wilderness. Pic 7 | Meeting the first snow like a kid: Opening my arms like a child to welcome the snowfall. The bright yellow jacket contrasting with the white snow captures the purest, most wonderful joy. 📍 Location: Stefansbud Emergency Shelter, Route 1 (Öxi shortcut area), East Iceland 🇮🇸

After leaving the little town of Djúpivogur, we continued our journey along the coastal highway. Passing through the Berufjörður fjord, the blue sky mirrored perfectly on the crystal-clear water, and distant mountain peaks were dusted with fresh snow—every casual snapshot looked like a stunning postcard. Pulling over on a whim, we soaked in the ocean breeze at a roadside picnic table and watched seabirds leisurely pacing the shallow flats. Our group leader even caught the vibe and busted out an impromptu skateboarding session right on the side of the Icelandic highway. The sense of ultimate freedom on this trip truly peaked in that moment! As we approached the Breiðdalsvík area, we faced a classic road trip dilemma: take the long way around via the smooth coastline, or cut straight through the winding mountain pass? Without a second thought, we chose the mountains. As our speed picked up, the valley before us was gradually swallowed by a thick mist, completely hiding the road ahead in a vast sea of white. Knowing perfectly well that the mountains were fogged in, we drove right into it anyway. That thrill of heading straight into the unknown is exactly what makes road-tripping so incredibly addictive! 📸 Snapshots from the Road: Pics 1–2 | Views of Berufjörður Fjord: A fjord as calm as a mirror, where the reflection of the snowy peaks and blue sky is simply breathtaking. Pics 3–4 | Roadside Breaks & Seabirds: Chilling out at an outdoor picnic table alongside the little coastal creatures navigating the low-tide shallows. Pic 5 | The Leader's Highway Skateboard Show: Cruising on a skateboard against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and fjords—10/10 for pure swagger! Pics 6–8 | Quick Stop at Streitisviti Lighthouse: A solitary lighthouse standing tall on the black rocky coast, perfectly capturing the rugged, sweeping desolation at the edge of the Atlantic. Pics 9–10 | The Breiðdalsvík Mountain Pass Dilemma: Diving headfirst into the misty mountain trails, knowing the greatest views always lie in the unknown ahead. 📍 Location: Berufjörður & Breiðdalsvík, East Iceland 🇮🇸

While on a road trip through East Iceland, we decided to make a pit stop at the coastal town of Djúpivogur. Compared to the hustle and bustle of popular tourist spots, this place offers a rare sense of tranquility and a wonderfully slow pace of life. Walking up to the town's high ground for a panoramic view, you can see continuous snow-capped mountain ridges in the distance, juxtaposed with colorful little houses and fishing boats moored in the harbor right below. Standing in the breeze and looking out at the striking lighthouse over the azure sea, my soul felt instantly and completely healed. We grabbed a piping hot chicken pita at Við Voginn and enjoyed it while taking in the harbor views. I've heard that this cozy little diner has since closed down, but that simple, satisfying flavor—along with the crisp light and shadows of the town—remains a cherished memory of this trip. 📸 Town Stroll Highlights: Photo 2 | Djúpavogskirkja Church: Standing gracefully on a grassy slope, this small church seems to silently guard the peace of the harbor town. Photo 3 | Hótel Framtíð: A classic, vintage wooden building that exudes the historic charm of a timeless Icelandic town. Photos 1, 4–7 | Highland Views & Harbor Scenery: Climbing up the hill gives you a sweeping view of the town, snowy mountains, and the bay. Every glance feels like a therapeutic landscape painting. Photo 8 | The Striking Distant Lighthouse: Standing firm on an offshore reef, this brightly colored lighthouse really pops against the backdrop of the blue sky and snow-capped peaks. Photos 9–10 | Chicken Pita from Við Voginn: A delicious energy boost during our break, generously stuffed with ingredients! Even though the shop is now a thing of the past, the mouthwatering memories are as beautiful as ever! 📍 Location: Djúpivogur, East Iceland 🇮🇸

When you're doing a full Ring Road trip around Iceland, one of the biggest challenges is deciding where to stay between destinations. We came across Eyjólfsstaðir Guesthouse while looking for a place to stop in East Iceland before visiting Hengifoss, one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls known for the beautiful red layers of volcanic rock running through the cliffs behind the waterfall. At first, we simply chose this place because of its great reviews and convenient location near Egilsstaðir, but honestly it ended up becoming one of the most memorable stays of our entire trip. Our room was a simple four-person room with shared bathrooms. Normally I can be a little hesitant about shared facilities, but this place completely changed my mind. The guesthouse was incredibly clean and there were so many bathrooms available that we never once felt crowded or had to wait. Parking was easy and convenient right in front of the property, which is always a huge plus when you're road tripping around Iceland with luggage in the car every day. There was also a lovely dining area where guests could sit and enjoy their meals together. The kitchen and common areas were spotless and very well organized, with plates, cutlery and kitchen equipment neatly arranged. There was even a refrigerator available for guests to store their own food, which made life much easier during our Ring Road adventure. Everything felt simple, practical and exactly what we needed after long days of driving through Iceland. But the reason this guesthouse will always stay in my memory has nothing to do with the room. It was the Northern Lights. After a long day on the road, we were sitting inside having dinner and relaxing when one of the staff members suddenly came over and told everyone: "Hurry, go outside and look at the sky!" At first we walked out quite casually without expecting much... and then we never went back inside for almost two hours. The sky exploded with one of the most incredible Aurora displays I have ever seen. The lights were everywhere — moving across the sky, dancing above the mountains and surrounding us from every direction. It was one of those moments that makes you completely forget about being cold, tired or sleepy. Before booking accommodation in Iceland, I actually have a little trick. I always read reviews to see whether previous guests had successfully seen the Northern Lights from the property before. I usually prefer staying outside the city rather than in town centers because there is less light pollution and I am honestly too lazy to drive around chasing the aurora in the middle of the night. My dream scenario is simple: stay at the hotel, step outside, and see the Northern Lights right there. This strategy worked perfectly for us here. From what I found, hotels that regularly have guests reporting Aurora sightings often really do offer excellent viewing conditions, and Eyjólfsstaðir Guesthouse definitely did not disappoint. If you're looking for a comfortable stop while driving around Iceland, especially if you're planning to visit Hengifoss or explore East Iceland, I would absolutely recommend this place. Clean rooms, friendly staff, convenient parking, beautiful surroundings and one of the most unforgettable Northern Lights experiences of my life. Some hotels become part of the trip. This one became one of the memories I'll carry with me forever. 💚✨ #iceland #northernlights #egilsstadir

Hengifoss is located in East Iceland, near Egilsstaðir and Lake Lagarfljót, and it is one of the tallest waterfalls in the country, dropping around 128 meters. What makes Hengifoss so special is not only its height, but also the dramatic red and orange clay layers between the dark basalt rock behind the waterfall. The whole scene looks so powerful and unique. From the parking lot, you need to hike up to reach the main waterfall. The parking area is quite convenient compared to some other waterfall spots in Iceland. There is a service center area, toilet facilities, and visitor information near the trailhead. The hike takes around 40–60 minutes one way, depending on your pace and how often you stop for photos. The trail starts from the parking area and gradually goes uphill. At first, the landscape feels quite open, with grassy fields, sheep, and wide views around you. After walking for a while, the scenery starts to open up beautifully, and you can see the surrounding valley, mountains, and river below. As you continue higher, the landscape becomes more dramatic and mountainous. The whole trail is actually beautiful all the way, not just at the final waterfall. Along the route, you will also pass Litlanesfoss, another beautiful waterfall surrounded by tall basalt columns. This was such a nice surprise on the hike and definitely worth stopping for photos. After walking further, you finally reach Hengifoss. The waterfall is huge, elegant, and very different from many other waterfalls in Iceland because of the colorful rock layers behind it. The red and orange stripes against the dark basalt make the view feel almost like a natural painting. When we visited, there were also some orange autumn leaves along the trail, which made the atmosphere even more beautiful. After spending some time taking photos at the waterfall, we walked back down. On the way down, there is a route that branches slightly to the left, allowing you to return on the other side and enjoy a different view of the valley. I really liked this part because it made the walk back feel less repetitive, and the scenery was still beautiful all the way. Overall, Hengifoss is a very well-managed and rewarding hike. It is not too difficult, but you should still prepare properly . Wear comfortable hiking shoes, bring water, check the weather, and give yourself enough time. #Hengifoss #icelandtrip #iceland #naturalwonders

A review of the viewpoint behind Dalatangi Lighthouse in East Iceland👇 ⸻ 🌊 First Impression 👉 "I've really made it this far." The lighthouse itself was great, but the moment you step just a bit further back, the whole vibe completely changes. It doesn't feel like a tourist attraction; it feels like you've reached the true edge of the world. ⸻ 🧭 Real Experience 👉 "There's nothing here, yet you just stand there mesmerized." · Endless ocean ahead · A sheer cliff right below · Hardly anyone around So even if you do absolutely nothing, it's a space that simply makes you stand still and take it all in. ⸻ 😶 The Highlight 👉 "It feels grander because of the silence." There's almost no noise, just the sound of the wind and the crashing waves, which makes the scenery hit you even harder. ⸻ 💡 Honest Conclusion 👉 "The area behind it is more memorable than the lighthouse itself." ✔ Lighthouse = Photo ✔ Back View = Experience ⸻ One-Line Summary 👉 "A spot in Iceland where you truly feel like you're 'standing at the edge of the world.'" It's not a place to just take a quick glance; it's a viewpoint where you have to pause for a moment to truly feel its magic. ⸻ 📍 Dalatangi Viewpoint, East Iceland

A review of the viewpoint behind Dalatangi Lighthouse in East Iceland👇 ⸻ 🌊 First Impression 👉 “This is really the edge of the world.” Getting to the lighthouse was already amazing enough, but walking just a bit further out back completely changes the vibe. ⸻ 🧭 Heading Up 👉 “It’s not just a view; it’s an entire space.” · The ocean opens up wide on both sides. · A sheer cliff drops straight down right below you. · The sound of the wind + crashing waves hits you all at once. 👉 The Vibe “You stop taking photos and just stand there taking it all in.” ⸻ 😶 The Real Highlight 👉 “Its silence makes it even more powerful.” There’s hardly anyone around, and with nothing but the sounds of nature, the experience feels so much more overwhelming. I only meant to stand there for a second, but it’s the kind of place that makes you linger way longer than expected. ⸻ 💡 Honest Conclusion 👉 “The lighthouse is just the warm-up; out back is the main event.” ✔ The Lighthouse → A photo op ✔ The View Out Back → A full-on experience ⸻ TL;DR 👉 “The ultimate place in Iceland to feel like you’re standing at the edge of the earth.” If you’ve made it this far, you absolutely have to go out back to avoid any regrets. ⸻ 📍 Dalatangi Viewpoint, East Iceland
