    Info abt the ferries : Tallink is the most expensive, but they have the best ferries. Eckerö Line is the Ryanair of the ferries, it's the cheapest and most crowded if them, Viking Line is the mid-tier, basically a balance between Tallink and Eckerö Line.

    We actually did go straight from the airport. We had a fairly short flight from Baltimore and got in quite early getting to the Blue Lagoon near opening time. There was a plus, it was not crowded for most of the time we were there as we were leaving there were long lines coming in. Checking luggage and getting on the right bus back to Reykjavik were a bit of a hassle though. Detours due to the volcanic activity did give everyone some nap time though Not many private showers in the men's locker room as info, wasn't a big deal. The whole facility is top notch. As info, flybus is not a well oil machined nothing is ever quite on time but usually gets the job done at some point.

      @sarasscubaandtravelchannel 6 місяців тому

      Thank you! I am glad you found it informative. I can’t quite remember the cost. I am guessing around 15 Krona. You can download the Taxi Hreyfill app, and it will give you the price for your starting point to Sky Lagoon. The app is a great way to see the costs and order taxis. You can even schedule a taxi in advance. We scheduled our taxis the night before sometimes.

    Lol..I just saw your thumbnail on my recommended list and one of the pics immediately caught my eye....I took the exact same pic of that beautiful twisted old dead tree at Mesquite Dunes.. That strangely beautiful, melancholy invoking tree in the foreground, with the beautiful dunes behind, and the distant soaring striped mountains surrounding the Valley perfectly captures the essence of Death Valley. I assume you felt close to the same way...I actually took several from different angles and my favorite is a 1-1 ratio that I took in black and white....the thing looks like an Ansel Adams postcard....lol.

    • @sarasscubaandtravelchannel
      @sarasscubaandtravelchannel 9 місяців тому

      Yes! You’re right! There was something strangely beautiful about it. It looked like driftwood in the desert. Similar to driftwood on a beach. I can see how your shots in black and white would resemble shots by Ansel Adams. Thank you for checking out my channel and connecting!

    Enjoying the video so far but a complete corrections. Yes it’s $30 to get in the park but it covers up to 7 days not $30 per day. Also the toilets aren’t called primitive toilets their called pit and are very common in most outdoor or wilderness places. The reason being many of these places are of course remote and there is no sewer or plumbing. They don’t always smell great but you’re always grateful for them when you really have to go! Cheers

As of late 2023, only highway 190 is open to vehicular travel both to and from the Furnace Creek area. Ubeeheebee and the road to it from Highway 190 are completely closed, as is the farther road to The Racetrack. Almost all of the secondary dirt or gravel roads within the park are closed, as well.
