Could it be that the Westman Islands in south Iceland is one of the country's bestkept secrets? While some travelers go there each year, this group of islands doesn't get anywhere near the amount of attention that other attractions along the south coast get. I absolutely love taking the 4550 minute ferry over to Heimaey, the main island because of the views and lovely ride.
Using the AA Campervan from KuKu Campers made it easy and affordable for me to spend a couple of days in the Westman Islands because it's my transportation and accommodation all in one. If you plan to travel around Iceland and want to save some coins, I recommend checking out Kuku Campers https://www.kukucampers.is/
