Get a rental car from Reykjavik and go see Iceland’s most amazing scenery at Dyrhólaey. It is a must see in Iceland and here's the best way to get there.

Rent a car in Reykjavik

Start by picking up your rental car. Renting a car in Reykjavik is easy and I recommend collecting your car rental in Iceland as soon as possible. You want to start exploring from the moment you arrive.

The rental car will give you the freedom to travel at your own pace. An advantage no other means of transport can offer in Iceland.

The fastest pick up you can get in Iceland is with Zero Car Rental. Offering contactless pick up where all you need to do is picking up the rental car. Skip the line and head for Dyrhólaey just a few minutes from stepping onto the Land of Ice and Fire.

Iceland’s Most Epic Scenery

Dyrhólaey is one of Iceland’s most iconic natural features. This mighty sea cliff sits on the very tip of Iceland’s southern coast. The rental car will take you up the steep hill from where you can admire the beautiful black sand beach on Dyrhólaey on both sides.

This epic scenery is met with Iceland’s incredible wildlife. Home to thousands of Puffins, Dyrhólaey is the perfect place in Iceland to see these adorable seabirds in their natural habitat.

Dyrhólaey's most impressive feature is however the hollow stone arch. There you will see how the mighty Atlantic Ocean has carved its way into the islands, creating this dramatic scenery.

Car Rental Guide to Dyrhólaey

As mentioned, a car rental in Iceland is the best way to explore the island's natural wonders. Dyrhólaey is no exception. Dyrhólaey is about 3 hours drive from Reykjavik. But there is a lot to see along the way as you trail down Iceland’s famous south coast.

Passing by Iceland's best waterfalls such as Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. As well as having the view of Iceland’s black sands on one side and towering glaciers on the other. Including Sólheimasandur beach and Eyjafjallajökull, volcano.

So going to Dyrhólaey is a great day tour. Just make sure to take time to enjoy the ride and stop at these amazing sights.

The Best Rental Car for Dyrhólaey

What is also great about Dyrhólaey is its accessibility. Any type of rental car will get you there safely. Although being in a rather remote area, the road to Dyrhólaey is all paved. Not only that but it is extremely easy to navigate. Just follow Road 1, also known as the Ring Road, from Reykjavik and down the south coast of Iceland until you see a sign for Dyrhólaey.

When driving I recommend using either GPS or smartphone guidance in Iceland. Places such as Dyrhólaey are clearly marked and you can’t miss it.

Other Attractions Around Dyrhólaey

Dyrhólaey is far from being the only attraction in the area. The famous Reynisfjara, black sand beach is just on the other side of the beach. Visible and accessible by foot from Dyrhólaey.

There is also the town of Vik. A cute little village in Iceland tucked under the mighty glacier Mýrdalsjökull and Katla volcano.
