Iceland Adventure – On a journey of discovery with the HYMER Venture S

Our journey to Iceland begins with a four-day journey full of anticipation and a thirst for adventure. On the first day we reach Vejers and find ourselves at Vejers Strand Camping. The unique campsite right on the beach offers us the first opportunity to fully enjoy the amenities of the Venture S. In the middle of the dunes, we spend a quiet night, which is the perfect start to the adventure.

On the second day we continue our journey and reach Hirtshals, where we settle down for the night. On the third day we board the modern Norröna ferry for a 2.5-day crossing. The ferry surprises us with first-class restaurants and comfortable facilities that increase our anticipation of Iceland even more. During the crossing we plan our route and enjoy the view of the endless sea.

A stormy night wakes us up with strong gusts and heavy rain. We then sleep comfortably in the lower part of the Venture S. The practical conversion of the seating area into a double bed means there is enough space for two people. The next morning, an employee at the campsite informs us about a hurricane that is hitting northern England and whose foothills are reaching as far as Iceland. So we decide to drive to the north of Iceland, where the weather is supposed to be better. On the way we fly with our drone to capture some great shots. Since our drone switches off for no apparent reason and suddenly stops working, this leaves us no choice but to drive to Reykjavik to get a replacement drone there.

Without sleep, Diamond Beach is our next destination. The black sand beaches, dotted with ice floes washed up by a glacier, offer a unique panorama. This breathtaking landscape keeps us awake all night and we take photos until the early hours of the morning. The contemporary and stylish design of the Venture S makes it a real eye-catcher on every trip and fits perfectly into this fascinating landscape. We then drive to a campsite to catch up on some much-needed sleep in the afternoon. The spacious and comfortable bed in the HYMER Venture S offers us the perfect place to take a break and ensures a restful sleep.

The next day we venture into the highlands to the F-Roads, the gravel roads of Iceland. The highlight of this day is undoubtedly the Mælifell volcano. Although it is hidden in the mist, we are lucky enough to see it shimmering between the clouds of fog. Its moss-covered, green surface stands out impressively against the black landscape. The journey is full of adventure and in the evening, we fall exhausted but happy into our comfortable sleeping place in the high roof of the Venture S.

After a restful night, we explore the area around Landmannalaugar. The hot springs, a beautifully landscaped natural pool and the colourful mountains attract numerous hikers and we also set off on a short hike. It's a good thing that we are flexible with our Venture S! This means we can easily avoid the overcrowded campsite and the crowds and continue towards Selfoss to end the rest of the day in peace. On the way out of the area, we come across other large craters and volcanoes.

Our journey takes us back to Reykjavik, where we spend two days. The charming capital impresses us with its cute cafes and sights. We enjoy delicious cinnamon rolls and explore the city. It is very manageable but has many great restaurants with very tasty food.

The good weather and our fast travel speed allow us to explore the Westfjords, which were not originally planned on our route due to time constraints. Here too, we are grateful for the camping life and the flexibility that comes with it, which allows us to spontaneously discover new destinations with the Venture S. A particularly remote and quiet campsite offers a welcome change and we enjoy the natural hot spring in cool outside temperatures, which are usually around 15°C with a lot of wind.
