This channel has been a godsend! October is when I hope to go, so extra thanks for this one!
Great vídeo!! I’m going there on the 2nd week and I can’t wait! Your tips are amazing!

Thanks for your awesome videos. Just got back from a 10 day visit and everything was spot on. Thanks again!
I'm going in October :) Thank you for the guide!
I am.going to Iceland this October thank you for your video very helpful.
Love your videos so helpful. Our trip is planned for early October and just booked all our stays around the ring road. Thanks for all the info! 😊
🤩🙌 Safe travels!
I totally got back from Iceland today, we went there for our honeymoon. AND NOW I LOVE ICELAND!
It's such an amazing place!
Traveling to Iceland in February with my grownup daughter to, hopefully, fulfill one of my bucket list actions: seeing the Northern Lights. Thanks for all the tips.
be careful ;) you need extra warm clothes because there are 90% there are gonna snow and rain and then some storm. i live there
THANK YOU for posting this! I’m going to Iceland in October!
We are in Iceland now & your videos really have been the most helpful of all. You helped set my expectations for weather while still having reasons to be optimistic. It has rained every day but it has not ruined our trip at all. If anything, it’s given a beautiful fog to our photos of landscapes.
Very thorough and helpful video thank you
Thanks for the video! Going in a month!!
Very informative. Thanks for all the info.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks. So helpful
Winter is coming! I love the fall, but I never look forward to the winter. I'd still think everyone would love to visit our beautiful country during fall and winter :)
Awesome content! Keep it going!👍
Thank you!
I’ll be there this October 🤩
I’m here right now!
I've been waiting for this!!! 24 days and I'm OFF 😎 thanks Jeannie!!
Rose Connolly same me too in 24 days!!
We were at the crater ! It was awesome .
Thank you for this video. We're planning to go to Iceland this mid October. We wanted to see the northern lights. I appreciate the advise about rain gear. We'll get some rain gear before we go. I didn't know about the Imagine Peace light. That will be nice to see during our visit. We live in Colorado and wind/snow is common in October. So we're used to that.
October is a beautiful time to visit. I hope you enjoy your time in Iceland!
@@IcelandwithaView You're right about some roads being closed in October. We wanted to take a tour out of Egilsstadir to see Studagil Canyon, but there are no tours in October and apparently the road is nearly impassable at that time of year. So we booked a helicopter tour to fly us over it.
We are planning a trip for October 2020. Thanks for the great video.
hello Adam! How was your trip? Was the weather crazy rainy and windy as told in the video?
@@oh0my cancelled due to COVID-19
@@adamhilgefort2589 do you plan to rebook the trip?
@@oh0my we are hoping fall 2022
Leaving in 9 days. Cant wait to visit, I'm also bringing candy corn for a friend if for some odd reason you miss it.
Did you get to go?!? Covid hit right about then.
@@scooterpam I did. Now I'm waiting to go back 😅
I've been to Iceland in September/October 2019 and remember that it said that the busses like the 57 are closed during these months. So does anyone know, if the busses are now also available during these month? Since I'm going again this year at that time and it would be really convenient for me to use the bus😊
Would you recommend going to the north of Iceland near Akureyri in October? Is snow more likely there?
This was so helpful! We are headed to Iceland. Is there an outdoor shop as you leave airport on the way to Vic that you recommend?
We are going end of November! Any tips to make the most of our limited daytime hours?
I'm on my way. I'm curious are the puffins already gone or is there a place we might see them.
hi..i hv been to Iceland this March and its white everywhere...i completed south n west coast..wana complete north and east coast n wana see northern lights along with some colourful view of Iceland(except only white).will october will be a gd month den?

Super helpful video, Im planning to travel to Iceland this year later September to early October do you recommend hiking to volcanoes then? And if so, do you have any recommendations of craters with the best view? Much love!
Can u see the northern lights in iceland in Sept or October?
Hello, it was at beginning or end of October ?
Thanks so much for the great content!
Since all animals are already leaving, is paying for a whale watching tour worth it ?
We're going for a road trip there next week, can't wait! :)
You should always check with the tour company; but I can tell you that the whale watching season generally runs April to October. Happy travels!
I’ve got a trip planned for the end of Nov. do a video for Nov!
Stay tuned!
Jeannie, I am going to be in Iceland next week into October and want to know WHERE you get all of your beautiful earrings from? Thank you for all the information, off I go in 6 DAYS!!!
Enjoy your trip!!
Hi. Which are the high land roads?
(I am planning a trip in the end of october to go all around the island, using the main roads.)
Highland roads (AKA F-Roads) are the roads that generally lead to the interior parts of Iceland. Here's a video I did to explain a little more about them: ua-cam.com/video/HARDerKJRWk/v-deo.html
Hello, great channel. My family and I are coming to Iceland in October, looking for a budget friendly accommodation. Any ideas. Thanks Andre
Hi Andre! Thanks so much for watching! Here is my video all about budget travel tips: icelandwithaview.com/19-easy-ways-save-money-trip-iceland/ ~ Happy planning!
Thanks for this. Is it still ok to rent a camper van in October? We are planning to travel first week of October
I hope yes because this is what we did. Going the first week of October. Maybe see you there :)
Hi members,
On October 18th to 27th will be my first time to Iceland.
I am wondering whether it is safe to go round island in late October? （counterclockwise)
Should I stay in south part only? Or go clockwise ?
Thank you for any information and suggestions.
Much appreciation!
Here's a few posts all about October (icelandwithaview.com/?s=October) where you will learn about the weather, daylight hours...all the things!
I hate winter cold, wind and also rain, but I want to view the Northern Lights (after missing them by 1 day early Oct in alaska!) So is late Sept or first week Oct better for weather? The snow would be beautiful. I get frostbite easily tho.
It's not cold as long as you're wearing wind resistant clothing. You could walk around in a t-shirt if the wind wasn't a thing in Iceland.
@@skullflower354 any jacket reccs?
There is no way out to find the highland roads open between 6 to 20 of octomber?
Highland roads will close as the weather and road conditions begin to get worse. I wouldn't suggest planning your trip around the Highlands in October because there is no guarantee that the roads will be open. You may get lucky for some of them to be open at the beginning of October but they'll likely be closed and inaccessible by mid-October. The best resource for finding out road closures and conditions is www.road.is/ ~ Check this website each morning of your trip. Another option to visit the Highlands in October is to take a guided day tour with Midgard Adventure (icelandwithaview.tourdesk.is/Tour?tag=&attraction=&sort=0&pt=undefined&dt=undefined&vendor=317&onlyFavorite=false&travelmethod=&privateFilter=false&searchParameter=®ion=0&durationType=undefined). I've made a video all about my tour with them to þórsmörk: icelandwithaview.com/thorsmork-super-jeep-tour/ ~ You may also find my Highlands Guidebook helpful when planning your trip: icelandwithaview.com/product/self-drive-highlands-guidebook/ ~ Happy planning!
winter is coming
Hello Jeanie, quick question : I'm doing a short trip through the golden ring from the 18th of October. Do you think an economy car will be ok rather than a 4x4 ? cause prices are too high right now
Is it worth visiting in November (2-9)?
I might be the wrong person to ask...I love ALL the times to visit! 😊
Hi,
We booked a vacation in Iceland for October 2023. Do you think we made a mistake
No way Benny! October is my favorite month in Iceland - you get a little bit of winter weather and good possibility of seeing the northern lights but you'll still have enough daylight to see a lot of the beauty! Check out my website for more videos all about Iceland trip planning and for resources to help you with your itinerary (guidebooks, digital maps, pre-made itineraries, and I also offer custom itinerary planning!) ~ icelandwithaview.com ~ Happy planning!
@@IcelandwithaView Dear Jeannie, first, thank you so much for all the helpful tips and videos. You are really great. Absolutely, we will visit your website and see how we can plan our trip to Iceland.
Thank you very much.
Is there public transportation? Or is it better to get a rental car?
I definitely recommend renting a car. Public transportation is fine for getting around downtown Reykjavik but non-existent outside of the city. My recommendation:
Blue Car Rental is a local company and the best car rental in Iceland - AND insurance is INCLUDED in their prices! 🥳
NO CODE is needed, just click my link for an automatic 5% discount at checkout! bit.ly/IcelandCarDiscount
Thank you for this video. I have a plan go to Iceland which I have to choose between this 2 period
1. From mid March - end April
2. From mid September- end of October
Could you please recommend which month is better to avoid rain and the huge windy. More clearly sky and a chance of Northern light.
Thank you
Hi there, it's so hard to decide which is better! I've put together some posts for both seasons here for you:
Spring: bit.ly/IWAVSpring
Autumn: bit.ly/IWAVAutumn
@@IcelandwithaView thank you so much ❤️
Hi, should I get ash sand insurance on my rental on October? How often it happens? Thank you,
"Summer into winter." Interesting.
Shucks so I’m guessing October is a bad time for drones?
Those hurricane like winds sound terrifying for drone gear.
Most places you are not allowed to fly drones anymore
That voice!.. sorry.. I'm out!
I hate when i have to skip over unnecessary commentary to get to the real info.
