ICELAND 🇮🇸 10 Day Ring Road Group Trip | Ep 1 - Reykjavík to the East Fjords
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- In early October, we spent 10 days travelling all the way around Iceland on a group tour.
This was a bespoke tour I organised with Intrepid travel and put on sale to you guys that follow my channel!
15 of us went exploring round Iceland with a local guide, experiencing so many of the country’s highlights.
In this first episode we travel from Reykjavik to the main sites of the Golden Circle. We managed to see the Northern Lights on the first night of the trip!
At Jökulsárlón we cruised between icebergs on the glacier lagoon, before hiking into an ice cave.
We made our way to the beautiful town of Seydisfjordur in the East Fjords, before visiting Hengifoss, relaxing in the Vök Baths and then settling down at our farm stay in Möðrudalur.

Finally 🎉 I was waiting for this one ☃️ Wishing you more happy travels in good health and joy Karl 😇🥳✨
Which month did u go there ??
hi I'm from China and my name is Li. I watched the vlog video you posted on UA-cam and really like this way of traveling. I also have a dream of living and traveling around the world. If you haven't posted it on Chinese video platforms, I will translate and upload your video to Chinese video platforms to share with more people. Do you agree? Of course, I will mark your UA-cam account and video address. Looking forward to your reply.
WOW WOW WOW!!!!! This is SO much better than a documentary by a TV program. I'm a wobbly walking 76 year old, so trips like this would be out of the question now. Keep them coming Karl Weston.😊
Why this channel is so underrated. I had to go through a lot of videos to find this one. Keep up the great work
You’ve got a knack for story telling through your videos that is so enjoyable to watch! Looks like an amazing experience. I would love to go on one of your trips.
More trips coming in 2023 😊
Iceland! Maybe the best travel documentary video I have ever watched! What a fun group of people! Your videos are absolutely amazing…thank you so much for sharing with all of us😎 Can’t wait for your next adventure!
Absolutely loved the 1st episode. Breathtaking northern lights, the scenery omg just amazing and your way of bringing this trip to life is as if I am actually there. What a fabulous group of people too. Cannot wait for Part 2. 💖😀
Thanks Jackie 😊😊
@@karlwatsondocs How you have only 186k subs is beyond me
I was stationed there in the Navy from 2001-2003. Its absolute perfection! I miss it soo...:(
I love your videos Karl! They are very simple in a good way, you are not trying to be someone who you are not and we all appreciate it!
I am headed there this mid June 2023 with a good friend and cannot wait to enjoy all these beautiful landscapes you have shown us. Awesome video and great bunch you travelled with.
Another epic excellent production! Thank you for sharing. I enjoy so much sharing your journey with this group. So spectacular, so much fun. Iceland is not for me, but I would certainly love to join one of your trips. I love love love Northern Lights. I love your episode on Switzerland (Grinderweld to Zermat). I watch episode 1 on Switzerland, yet to watch Italy and Croatia, and episode 1 on Iceland. Gosh, you deserve an Oscar for your documentaries ! Congratulations for the good work. 👍👍👍👏👏
Another epic video Karl! Laughter, tears and everything in between! Absolutely loved it!!
Got a good chuckle at the clip of “don’t go chasing waterfalls.” Enjoyed this immensely.
Man getting hit by a truck of nostalgia. I did the first trip of my life with Intrepid to Iceland in 2022 in hardcore winter and Coincidentally Larus was our guide too. An amazing soul also met amazing group of people on that trip and made some unforgettable memories. Also y'all stayed at some of the places we stayed at😅 reliving all those memories through your video man!
Man, your travel documentaries are better than Discovery channel! Congratulations for the huge amount of work you put into creating these videos! 👏👏👏
Sensational Group of people full of smiles and laughter :) Congratulations to Karl and all on the tour!
Thanks! 😊
Nice 10days traveling from Reykjavik to the East Fjords visiting tourists spots in Iceland. Watched till the end. Tnx4sharing your memorable journey.
this video REALLY encourages me to do better and better everyday so that i can travel around this amazing world (just like you:)))). I bet this journey is unforgetable for you (and also for me:33). thanks you SOOOOO much for bringing me to this breathtaking, wonderful video
Really cool re-watching this knowing it is how you and Jaime met. So cute.
Best northern lights video ever. You do top notch work and the groups seem so fun.
This is so much fun to watch. I am an Icelander, and seen all these places, been there done that kind of thing. But soooo much happiness to see you guys enjoying it. Would have liked to been there with you. Love that Lárus told you the mountain troll stories ❤
WOW! INCREDIBLE!! I was contemplating going in July, but after watching this, you have me sold on October!! I HAVE to see those beautiful ice caves! What an amazing trip! I can not wait to go!! Bucket list memories, for sure!
Your videos inspire me so much! Just amazing!!
Oh man, those Northern lights photos were incredible!
Both Videos gave me back joy of living , thank you so much.
OMG Iceland is more stunning than I imagined. I could spend hours photographing those beautiful landscapes. And your new voice over guy Walid has an dreamy voice.
Haha he sure does 😊
Just watch the amazing video of your trip to Iceland, I will never get there but felt as if I had travelled there with you, thank you and well done. 🎉
Karl, this is such a great video - very inspiring. I can't wait to travel there! Kirk
An epic trip. I cannot wait to come here this series has me excited. Also what a great group of people traveling with you.
Thanks the group were amazing
Great video Karl, very entertaining and Iceland looks like a wonderful place to visit. Can't wait for part two. (I'm the guy who said hello to you on Reigate Hill on Friday!)
Cheers Stu, nice to meet you
Fantastic work Karl. One of the best Travel vids I have seen. Thank You!
The best videos you can find on UA-cam are here 😊 thank You so so so much ❤️
This video was inspiration and general route for our trip in Aug/Sept 23. We did Campervan so had more flexibility. This is a must watch if you are heading to Iceland.
Another video showcasing your skills to patch events, videos and people to make a non-boring video of the travels, Superb work Karl and what a great set of folks to take on the trip..Did not t move from the screen for the whole time in case I missed something,Well done matey,,
Cheers Paul appreciate it 😊
The northern lights photos from the farm house look incredible Karl!
Perfectly breathtaking and stunning. All group members are laughing and enjoying together, that's a real spirit. All set and perfect.
Decided to cast this video documentary to my tv, the definition and quality unbeatable! What an amazing trip so far can’t wait for part 2!
Best way to watch it 😊
Best video of Iceland I’ve seen!! Thank you!! Going in Sept 2023
Such an amazing travel video. I watched your NZ videos many times btw, that's how much I enjoyed. Unlike other content creators where they go for the quantity, it's refreshing that yours are more of the quality and the whole experience. Kudos 👍
Thanks for showing the incredible beauty of Iceland. The place is absolutely perfect, your guide is great and the group is full of fun. Your video is professionally done! It’s as if I am there on this trip. Enjoyed every minute of it.
That was incredible, I can't wait for part two. Cheers from Vancouver!
Cheers 😊
Ayy fan from Vancouver as well! Great vid Karl
I’ve been looking forward to seeing this.. Awesomeness something to look forward to when getting home after a busy night at work. Thanks Karl 👍
Enjoy 😊
I just had to send you a TIP! I love your travel journeys and you sharing the history and your experiences. Keep doing you Karl!!
Thanks very much, very kind of you 😊👍
Beautiful! Perfect Tony Anderson soundtrack too!
I believe I watched all your videos now, the Iceland series had to be my favourite. Going there this summer
I loved watching this and watching the laughs you all shared! I want to go on this tour!
Well, you have your first two entries for a “10 things not to do in Iceland” video:
1. Have an Icelandic hot dog without “the works” (including the remoulade relish and the special brown hot dog mustard).
2. Refer to said hot dog as a “normal hot dog.” 😂
Jokes aside, thoroughly enjoyed your video. Driving the ring road with my family this summer and can’t wait. I’ve done the full trip 3 times in my life but there’s always something new to explore. 😃
Amazing video and such great storytelling! Taking notes for my trip in 2 weeks time!
Thanks 😊
You can't tell me about a Star Wars bathroom and not tell me the name of the cafe!
I need to go back to Iceland. I did not see it like you showed in this video. Thank you for an exceptional footage.
Wow that was fabulous! Total escapism, what a great group. Love your little laugh Karl. Xx
Thanks 😊
Breathtaking. Just breathtaking. Iceland is a gift.
The irony of living in Iceland. I never did the Ring Road - or many other typical tourist attractions. Maybe i should travel my own country some day.
Brilliant Karl absolutely brilliant !!!
Thanks mate
I just came back from a very short 4 days there. My first time in Iceland and I am obsessed ! I can’t wait to go back for a longer time and seeing some of the places I’ve been to in this documentary makes me miss that amazing country even more !
Every single time you have a travel vid uploaded, i have to watch it now on a big screen. Its simply amazing to see some of the things you’ve seen, Karl.
Best way to watch it 😊
Karl, the music editing in this one made a huge difference. Your talent really really on display. Fantastic stuff!
Thanks! 😊
wow nice glad u had good weather and sorrounded by good people peace
Geniales fotografías geniales expresiones geniales momentos, súper recorrido,
this one's such a warm, fun-filled, wonderful vlog of your entire trip
These are one of those bucket list things. Incredible Karl, thnx for sharing! This takes anxiety off things so much

So excited to see a reference to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty in this, it's easily one of my favorite movies.
Looks like you had a killer group! Can't wait for the next video.
Fabulous! Stunning! Exquisite! I'm running out of adjectives. Beautiful place and wonderfully recorded. Bravo!

@@hawifornt2296 why lol!!!
Amazing. We will be in Iceland this Fall 2024. Thank you for an amazing documentary.
Hey do you know any tour packages like this in the video 😅 if you know please reply 🙏
incredible views of Iceland. Best I've ever seen. Thanks guys for a great tour!
I really love this video. Very educational. It's fun. It makes me want to visit Iceland tomorrow. 😀
Marvellous video of a great place. Fantastic. Well done Karl!
Iceland is famous for being called the Land of Fire and Ice because of its volcanoes and glaciers. It is dotted with natural wonders such as The Blue Lagoon and Dettifoss Waterfall. Iceland is also known for its rich cultural history, Norse mythology, folklore, and having no official family names!
Blue Lagoon is not a natural wonder. It is man made.
This was epic, what a fantastic group. Old mate needs to be doing radio ads!
I love it! Looks like you had such a great time and a great group! ❤️
Your voice soothes me as much as David Attenborough. Another banger mate
Haha cheers
Another great video :) It looks awesome! Another destination to my list ;)
WHAT A SPECTACULAR COUNTRY ! That is definitely going on the bucket list, thanks for sharing such an amazing trip.
Glad to see you did the full ring road! That's what my family is planning to do in 2023. We have some family history in the north of the country so it's a no-brainer for us to do the full route.
WOW a new bucket-list addition
Wow I love this video..in my bucket list
Just stunning Karl ...enjoyed it very much!
You never fail to inspire, Karl ♥
Absolutely great series. You are great at making these docos.
Thanks
Just discovered this amazing channel. Binge watched NZ and now Iceland. Best travel programme ever! x
Fantastic video mate. I can't wait! Next week it is my turn to explore Iceland for two weeks
