Self Drive Itinerary Planning
Your Iceland Trip Personally
Curated for You.
Not a generic package. Not an AI itinerary. A day-by-day plan built around your trip by someone who's driven every road in Iceland.
THE PROBLEM WITH PLANNING ICELAND YOURSELF
You'll spend 40+ hours researching, and still wonder if you got it right.
Iceland looks simple on a map. But real driving times, weather windows, daylight hours, road closures, and seasonal availability make it deceptively complex. Most travellers either over-pack their days and spend the trip rushing, or miss the best experiences because they didn't know they existed.

MEET YOUR CURATOR
Hi, I’m Mordy.
In December of 2019, a weather disruption in London rerouted me to Iceland by accident. I was supposed to be there for a night. Instead, I fell in love with the country, and when COVID disrupted the corporate travel business I had run for a decade, I spent months on the ground in Iceland, building connections and learning every road, valley, and hidden hot spring.
I've since planned over 2,000 self-drive trips for travellers from all over the world. I split my time between New York and Iceland, spending around four months a year on the ground here, and I specialise exclusively in Iceland. It's all I do.
I know which roads are gravel nightmares in a sedan, which restaurants are worth a 20-minute detour, and which "must-see" attractions are actually skippable. I'll build your trip the way I'd build it for a close friend.

HOW IT WORKS
From first call to final day, here's the process.
1. Discovery Call
We get on a call and I learn everything: your travel style, interests, pace, budget, who's coming, and what matters most to you.
2. Itinerary Design
I build a day-by-day plan: routes, timings, hidden stops, accomodations, excursions. Every detail is specific to your trip dates and preferences.
3. Bookings & Refinement
I book your hotels, car, and activities, all costs are itemised, no markups. We refine the plan together until it's exactly right.
4. Travel With Support
You get a mobile app with your full itinerary, navigation, and vouchers, plus real-time chat with me if anything changes on the road.
WHY IS THIS DIFFERENT
Not a generic package tour. Not a DIY blog.
Your trip, planned by a person who knows Iceland.
WHAT YOU GET
Everything from planning to landing back home.
Custom Day-by-Day Itinerary
Built around your route, timing, interests, and the specific weather patterns for your travel dates.
Hotel Bookings, No Markup
Often cheaper or the same price as booking direct. Every booking is itemized on your invoice.
Car Rental at Negotiated Rates
Always cheaper than booking direct, thanks to exclusive agreements with Iceland's top rental companies.
Activity & Tour Bookings
Glacier hikes, ice caves, hot springs, whale watching and more, booked directly with trusted local operators.
Mobile App With Everything
Your itinerary, vouchers, navigation, local tips, and offline access, all in one app on your phone.
Real-Time Support on the Road
Weather cancels your glacier hike? I'll rebook you on something else the same day. Plans change, I adapt with you.
THE DIFFERENCE EXPERTISE MAKES
What most people plan vs. what I’d plan instead.
Same 4 days. Same south coast route. Totally different experience.
Typical Self-Planned Trip
Day 1: Reykjavik
"Walk around, check out Hallgrímskirkja"
Day 2: Golden Circle
"Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, the usual loop"
Day 3: South Coast
"Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Vík, hope we can fit in an excursion"
Day 4: Glacier Lagoon
"Drive to Jökulsárlón and back, 10 hours of driving"
Rushed. Generic. The same itinerary as every other tourist.
Planned by Mordy
Day 1: Reykjavik + Sky Lagoon
Timed walk through the old harbor at golden hour, dinner at spots tourists don't know about, relaxing evening at Sky Lagoon with fewer crowds.
Day 2: Golden Circle + Snorkeling
Þingvellir with snorkeling between tectonic plates. Brúarfoss added as a detour most people miss. Geysir and Gullfoss sequenced so you're not backtracking, with enough time at each to actually enjoy them. A unique spot for lunch.
Day 3: South Coast + Ice Cave
Seljalandsfoss from the rear. A secret waterfall inside a mountain. An ice cave on top of a volcano. Overnight near Vík so Day 4 isn't a marathon.
Day 4: Glacier Lagoon + Zodiac
Short morning drive. Zodiac boat tour on the lagoon. Diamond Beach — the right side. Home via a route with three stops nobody talks about.
Same 4 days. Completely different trip.
