Will be hiking in Landmannalaugar that day and staying in the South that night. Not sure if there would be any special event there. Will try to stay up past midnight to experience the summer solstice.
My niece and I made an accidental stop in Iceland on the way to Switzerland due to weather delays. We loved our side quest so much that my husband and I are going soon too. It’s a wonderful place!
Thank you very much for the excellent info ! I wish to visit Iceland for so long . I am healthy 89 year old female and I will maybe one day decide to visit this beautiful country ?! Best wishes from B.C. Canada . 👍♥️🇭🇷
I have been to Iceland for the first time in November 2023. I did find Reykjavik pretty much overrated. I stayed in Selfoss and liked how it is in the middle of South of Iceland and how everything touristy is reachable within 60-90min drive.
Stunning country but can be chilly in summer, largely due to the wind. In fact, another name for the country could be Windland. Def pack a warm jacket, gloves & a hat if you plan on doing outdoor touring away from Reykjavik. If you're picking up a hire car on arrival @ Keflavik, maybe pay a visit to Viking World Museum. Opens at 7am. Interesting collection & has a cool cafe.
19:15 unlike me Arrived in Iceland on 18th June rtn to UK 21th June 6am I missed out both special events in Reykjavik. if you arrive early you could get the bus to the Blue lagoon direct from the airport. I've great time here maybe next year.
We went for a week with our grandchild and daughter. We travelled from Stockholm Sweden so its a 2 h 30 min flight. Everything is very Scandinavian well organized. For you veggies as me and my husband there are good options. Iceland is also very welcoming for us gay people and that is also a Scandinavian standard. Blue Lagoon is a very special experience, i could stay there for days. Expensive not that much. One strange thing that we all saw was the lack of curtains in the windows. If you are in to arts and all sorts of culture there are a lot of things to do. The benefits of the city is that you can walk and there are good communications by bus, sadly there bus app wasnt that smooth working. So my take overall Yes go there
I love Iceland 🇮🇸I am looking forward to booking the food tour for the group I am taking there in August. I love the easy going and fun personalities of the Icelandic people which definitely comes out in this video as well. 😊
Wow, this video on traveling to Iceland is simply amazing! I've always dreamed of visiting this beautiful country, and now I feel like I have all the expert tips and tricks to make the most out of my trip. I love how the host is so cheerful and motivating, making me feel like anything is possible when it comes to exploring Iceland. From the stunning landscapes to the friendly locals, I can't wait to experience it all for myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. You've truly inspired me to book my trip and make unforgettable memories in Iceland!
Great and Amazing Thank you cuase we shall travel to ICELAND the end of May 2025. This is my second time for me but the first time for my thai freinds. I really love Exotic Nature & Wonders for ICELAND. Best Wishes from STOCKHOLM - SWEDEN 🌲🌲🌲🌼🌼
@@ForTheMemes-tk6fc i see, for me from ottawa then to toronto then reykjavik. hey, who knows, we might see eachother! i will randomly say "for the memes" and hollow knight pfp in public. u say agor i guess.
You asked. Dan, for topics to deal with in future videos. My suggestion/request is Icelandic music. As well as internationally known artists such as Víkingur Ólafsson & Olafur Arnalds, there is hopefully more local musical talent that we can access during a visit.
Makes me more excited about my visit to Iceland in September 2023. Lucky to have bumped to this video. Thank you soooo much for this very informative vid.
Wow man. Thank you so much for such a great comment. I'm really glad this video was useful to you. I hope you have a blast on your trip next week! - Dan :)
A land of midnight sun, ice and snow Where the year-round hot springs flow Summer fields so green Whisper tales of gore Of how they calm The rides of war They're your overlords So now you better stop And rebuild all your ruins For peace and trust Can win the day Despite all your losing...
Your knowledge is stellar and I appreciate it very much 😊. I'm turning 50 and my husband is bringing me to Iceland in may 2025, I'm absolutely thrilled!! My biggest concern is that I am not the best walker any more. I will push myself to see the place I've always dreamed about seeing, but I'm slow and 2km is about the most I can do. Because my back is the issue I am also concerned about bouncy roads and buses. Anything you can tell me would be appreciated. And I want to do everything 😂 thanks Rachel
Another bit of advice taxis are very expensive. Don’t take them number two. Your best bet cheaper bet is hostile. The hostels are really good. Buy your food. It’s expensive to eat. A lot of hostels have kitchens. I can recommend one. That’s really good and they pick up. It’s a pick up bus stop for all the tours as well And it’s only a 15 minute walk to the center of Iceland in Reykjavik
Thank you for the very nice comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And glad that you'll be experiencing Iceland for your birthday, how fun! Best regards from Reykjavik 🇮🇸 Dan :)
@@WakeUpReykjavik. I will be there from 3rd to 9th August! Looking forward to join your lovely group.for.nice activities..into beautiful moments in Iceland
Wow, this is SO helpful. Thanks so much. I'll be traveling there next month and this is exactly the info I needed (and I'm glad to see that I already planned certain things properly, haha)!
This is so insightful. I am currently planning a 30th birthday trip for me next year and this just gets me so excitedddddd, I wanna be 30 already. 😂 I hope to see you there in July next year! But until then, I will be daydreaming, and planning my Autumn 2024 holiday first 🤣
this video just helped me decide my next trip. Looking forward to this since it's going to be my first solo trip and these tours look and sound amazing!
WOW!! ❤ Thank you for your fabulous, expert local knowledge. I have wanted to visit Iceland for as long as I can remember. Now married, my husband and I are planning a trip to your country, even thinking of immigrating to Iceland. We currently live in New Zealand, in the South Island surrounded by mountains, and lakes. Iceland seems to offer everything we love about life, so we are so looking forward to visiting!
Wonderful news! Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm so glad you're signed up for our tour. We can't wait to see you and I have no doubt you'll love it! ❤️
Ah! Wish i had known earlier. We would be there in June for the summer solstice but not in Reykyavik on 21st itself. What a pity . Awesome video though. Thank you for all the useful information.
Iceland is incredible, was there almost ten years ago but it's still one of my favourite places because of now diverse the experiences can be. Volcano, ice, waterfall, geyser.. Plus the puffins are super cute. I didn't get to enjoy food because I was young and broke back then, so hopefully I can join your food tour next time!
VUHU! Super exciting 🇮🇸 Such a fun time to visit. Our 'culture night' in Iceland this year will be on August 19th! 👀 Also a possibility to catch the northern lights if you're here during the later part of August ❤️
Traveling in Dec on a group tour but staying for an additional 3 days and would like to visit the north part of Iceland as I will be travelling from Reykjavik and visiting the Golden Circle, lava centre and other sites continuing to Vik and then the glacier lagoons in Jokulsarlon. I will have dec 11-14 to venture on my own. Any suggestions
i just arrived back from a school trip to iceland, we arrived at 8:00am and on the first day, walked around reykjavík, and did most of the day 4 option 1 activities, including the secret lagoon! we also took a ferry to a southern island on the second day, i think it was called eldfell, and that was beautiful too! i would highly recommend it! 😊obviously my trip was pre planned by school but this is a very clear guide and would have been ideal if i was looking for myself!
Hello! On your website tours such as Golden Circle Adventure and South Coast Adventure tour have TripAdvisor rating but I don't find these tours and ratings/reviews on the actual TA site. Only for the food tour.
Hello, curious what you think on renting a car then booking stays along the ring road or is a camper van a better option? Is it allowed to park anywhere to sleep or does it have to be parked at campsites to sleep?
Will YOU be enjoying the midnight sun with us on our Summer Solstice Yacht Party June 21st? 👀☀
Will be hiking in Landmannalaugar that day and staying in the South that night. Not sure if there would be any special event there. Will try to stay up past midnight to experience the summer solstice.
Hi, cant find that event on your website. I will be in Iceland on June 21st, and very interested to join that event.
I will be in Iceland in 4 days. First time traveler
Alright, I am completely sold here. I am buying my tickets NOW! This is easiest one of the best guides I have ever seen :) Thanks a lot!
Hey!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words!
I'm sure you'll love it!

You are very good at what you are doing! You make travelling to Iceland easier for those who do not have much time to do the planning.👍
Wow, thank you so much for the kind feedback ☺️

A land of midnight sun, ice and snow
Where the year-round hot springs flow
Summer fields so green
Whisper tales of gore
Of how they calm
The rides of war
They're your overlords
So now you better stop
And rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust
Can win the day
Despite all your losing...
