You can always trust a J-person's Iceland Ring Road Guide (Part 2)

📍DAY6 Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon - Vestrahorn Mountain 🐾Diamond Beach for sunrise 🐾Glacier Lagoon speedboat The Glacier Lagoon speedboat tour I booked in advance, I'd call it the most worthwhile activity of this Iceland trip~ Dreamy blue glaciers + lazy seals🦭 lounging on ice floes basking in the sun. This healing scene will truly stay with me. 🐾Vestrahorn Mountain (Stokksnes) 🔸Navigate to Viking Cafe. 🔹One of Iceland's few paid attractions, but the ticket is truly worth it! Only allocating half a day to Vestrahorn was a small regret of this trip. Black sand beaches, seals, and the Northern Lights – it has it all. Highly recommend photographers stay here for a night. An American guy I met at Vestrahorn said it was his 7th time visiting, and that it has a different beauty in different seasons and weather. 🏨 Seyðisfjörður 📍DAY7 Seyðisfjörður + Stuðlagil Canyon 🐾Seyðisfjörður A quiet fjord town. If it's on your way, you can check out the blue church and rainbow street in town. 🐾Stuðlagil Canyon 🔸One of Iceland's largest basalt column formations. 🔹Two ways to visit: 1️⃣North viewpoint 2️⃣East hiking trail: 5km loop, estimated 2-3 hours. 🏨Húsavík 📍DAY8 Húsavík 🐾Húsavík Whale Watching Tour 🔸Húsavík is known as the whale watching capital of Europe. The guy at the pizza shop in town described Húsavík as "full of whales in the summer". 🔹Booked the [Húsavík Adventures] Big Whales & Puffins RIB boat tour. 🐾GeoSea Sea Baths Get 15% off with your whale watching ticket. 🏨Húsavík 📍DAY9 Diamond Circle 🐾Ásbyrgi Canyon (Horseshoe Canyon) 🐾Dettifoss 🐾Lake Mývatn Námafjall, experience Iceland's geothermal resources up close. 🏨Lake Mývatn 📍DAY10 Lake Mývatn - Grundarfjörður 🐾Goðafoss 🐾Akureyri Check out the town's heart-shaped traffic lights🚦 🐾Hvítserkur (Rhino Rock) 🐾Stykkishólmur (The "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" town) 🏨Grundarfjörður The town is right at the foot of Kirkjufell. Sisters who want to catch the Northern Lights at night can consider staying here and use Kirkjufell as a foreground for aurora photos~ 📍DAY11 Snæfellsnes Peninsula 🐾Kirkjufell 🐾Búðakirkja (Black Church) 🐾Ytri Tunga Beach (Seal Beach) 🏨Grundarfjörður 📍DAY12 Blue Lagoon Booked the Blue Lagoon for 3:00 PM in advance, spent two hours there, watched the sunset, and then left. It's still recommended to visit the Blue Lagoon during the day, preferably on a sunny day, when the light is good, the entire hot spring pool is a milky blue~
