Tentative Itinerary for Ring Road in August, night stay suggestions?

What is a good plan for one person can be horrible for the next. So what are you looking for? That being said, it looks pretty good to me, not too rushed which is very important on Iceland. You seem a bit unsure about Egilsstaðir, why?

If you want to spend the last night in a smaller town, maybe Grindavík is an option? Also, don't rent a car at the airport when you arrive. Rent it day 2 when you actually leave Reykjavík.

I’m unsure because I’m not quite sure what there is to see between Höfn and Myvatn, if it’s just beautiful scenery to be seen while driving, without many areas to explore, they maybe go through all the way to Myvatn, and stay there two nights?

We like to get out on little walks, like on the beach or up at the lighthouse at Dyrholaey, around Kerid Crater, small things like that.

Thank you for your response!

Little walks in what kind of areas? Southeast of Egilsstaðir there are some fjords worth visiting if you are passing by.

Honestly Badger any kind of area, we want to experience the variety and beauty that is Iceland! Do you know of anywhere to see puffins?

I know of a great place to see puffins, but it is in Scotland. However, from what I've heard Vestmannaeyjar is a good spot for puffins in Iceland.

And if any area will do, I think you should spend a bit of time in the fjords mentioned, so a night in Egilsstaðir sounds like a great idea to me. But that is just my opinion and others might have other opinions.

I appreciate your opinion Badger, opinions are what I’m here for!

I'm glad I can help. Another piece of advice: Follow the traffic rules or it can be expensive. Traffic fines can be high in Iceland, thousands of euros is not unheard of.

HI
we are actually doing something similar in reverse in June, fingers crossed! This will be my 5th time and 1st for friends.
Instead of Reykjavik how about Selfoss at the end? You can then go the next day and do the peninsula by the airport. Just a thought

Thanks for the suggestion Creesepv! I hope your trip goes well!

Hello, I think your plan looks pretty good overall. We had 2 weeks to do the Ring Road so went at a much slower pace and had a night in Egilsstadir and then down the road in Seydisfjordur. Seydisfjordur was our favorite overnight stop and town of the whole 2 weeks. The scenery on the drive down from Egilsstadir was stunning and S. had unbelievable views, waterfalls, and a cute little harbor area and town to walk around (with a great restaurant/brewery by the way). We had overnights everywhere you are planning except Hvammstangi although we did stop there for lunch during a really bad rain storm so we didn't see much there at all. I think the Myvatn nature baths are very, very, very much worth it and we had an amazing evening there as the sun went down.
