Follow us on our Grand Icelandic Roadtrip!
Born from the fiery womb of the earth, and shaped by glaciers, tempests, and swells, Iceland bears a likeness to the earth when it was young - a boisterous spirit, untamed and running wild. Combining the inhospitable plains of the central highlands with moss-adorned river canyons and massive ice sheets, Iceland is the crown jewel of our planet’s rich treasures.

Flying a drone in Iceland:
Please be aware that restrictions on flying drones in Iceland apply. As an example, flying in national parks requires you to obtain a license. Read more about that here: ust.is/english/visiting-icela.... If you intend to fly a drone in Vatnajökull National Park, make sure to apply through www.vatnajokulsthjodgardur.is....
Please understand, that we obtained such a permit to shoot in Vatnajökull National Park. In general, be mindful of other visitors and do not disturb their experience by flying a drone directly above their heads. This is both dangerous and extremely ignorant. Don’t be this guy.
Real Talk:
Despite our attempt at keeping our Iceland Travel Documentary as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting clips. What you don’t see are the hours spent driving through less spectacular landscapes or some of the challenges we faced.
Full Disclosure:
This trip was entirely self-funded. However, we participated in two complimentary whale-watching tours with North Sailing.

Am from India ,, first of all a lot of love to you for another masterpiece documentary,, Now my expectations is gradually increaseing & i am desperately waiting for Latin american country like CHILE , BOLIVIA ,,,,,,,, PLEASE make a concern on it and once again for your great a lot of appreciation from my side
This could have been a four part series - can we appreciate how Lucas doesn't split these into several millions parts like most creators.
You can divide it into four parts by yourself 😅
I visited Iceland this summer, travelling ring road in 8 days and barely scratched the surface. After watching this I feel I need to go back. Thanks mate for giving us such a beautiful piece to watch for free
There is so much to see, even we didn’t cover everything. Always a reason to come back 😊
MY EYES ARE BLEEDING WHAT DID YOU CREATE. BRILLIANT LUCAS ❤
Seroiusly tho that Volcano scene is phenomenal.
The volcano scenes give me goosebumps myself every time 😅🥰
I didn't blink much watching either▪︎ the most beauty iv seen in the documentary world.
WOW! What a truly breathtaking country with waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes , cliffs & mountains. Love all the brilliant colors mixed together to form such a wonderland. Thanks Lucas & Anna for the amazing Icelandic trip. 🙋🏼♀️❤️👍🏻🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it, Sharon! Iceland truly has so much to offer :)
But where's the trees for birds to sit on?
Can there be any other way to picturise and narrate Iceland better than the way Lucas did. Hats off to you.
Thank you :)
Just a masterpiece, the editing and filming sceneries are breathtaking, thanks a lot
Thank you! 😊
It's not that breathtaking tbh, the landscape gets abit boring and the old saying seen one mountain you've seen them all, iceland definitely needs trees and birds to sit on them, it is a beautiful country would I live there....no
Hi, Lucas and the lady companion. I enjoyed your trip around my country more than when I´ve been traveling around it for the past 50 years. What a load of work must have gone into putting this together and my hat off for your precise mapping of my country. Thank you so much for this absolute fabulous video, I feel like I´m now familiar with Icelandic nature!
Basically the best "non professional" travel documentaries out there on YT!
That was superb, Iceland may leave you speachless with it`s raw natural beauty, but you Lucas, you have a plethora of adjectives and the narration was outstanding! 😍👏🎬
Haha, thank you so much ️❤
Such great masterpiece about our stunningly beautiful blue planet!!! Appreciate all the wonderfully organized narratives along with the footage, well done Lucas! Just can't move my eyes away from the film. Looking for more such videos from you, thanks!

I can appreciate the long hours it has to take to put these together.

Thank you for taking us along! May God Bless you all!
This is stellar. I have nothing but great affection for Iceland. I generally visit in the Winter when tourists are at a low number. I can't do what you did in Summer though. I have no words.
I simply don’t have enough words to appreciate your talent of showing us the enchanting scenery of this beautiful planet!!!!
You are truly amazing!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤
This is one of the best travel blogs / documentaries
I have seen. The scenery, filming and commentary is second to none. I feel as if I was there with them
Thank you so much!
Wow! Not only is this extremely beautifully filmed but the attention to the narration and taking care of the environment is awe inspiring. Toward the end I was thinking that all the good parts were over and then SURPRISE PUFFLINGS!!
Thank you. The truth is I will likely never see any of these breathtaking views in person but I am just so content and happy to visit them through your documentary and your wonderful story telling. I am soaking up all these knowledges from your narratives, cinematography, pronunciations of all these special places! I am having a really good time enjoying and learning about them all!
Very happy to hear that you enjoy our documentaries! We hope to produce many more in the future 😊
I cant wait to get back to Iceland. This documentary is so well done! very inspirational!
I’m obsessed with Iceland 🇮🇸 and have visited this amazing country 8 times over the years. This vlog is my dream trip and I wish I had the time and money to do it. Thank you to someone who has this for sharing your wonderful experience ❤
Thank you so much! Eight visits sounds like you really enjoy Iceland :) There definitely is always something new to discover ❤
Wow. Best ever documentary. Thank you for your in-depth trip. I’m in love with Iceland now. The pufflings are soooo sweet. What an amazing thing to have done.
The drone footage was the best,
Again, thank you ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful documentary...visuals, storytelling very immaculate
As a man from the tropics, i am stunningly amazed by the beauty of Iceland you have shown in this video documentary. I really would like to visit the country but with a very cold climate, I'll just pass the chance. Anyways, thank you for bringing me there in your documentary video. Thank you so much, Lucas.😊
Unbelievable. Wow! Gorgeous!
Absolutely fabulous. Thank you very much!
Memories rise! I have been on Iceland in September 2023...
Thank you for sharing this!

Glad you enjoyed it! All the best to you ❤
Awesome tour. Beautiful edited and informative. Thank you!
Dear Lucas and Anna,
What a testimonial to one of the most beautiful countries on earth, with sometimes harsh forces of nature (thinking about the current situation and those affected in the Grindavík area).
How well you've captured your travels and made it in this work of art. Because that's what this video is. It surely has been a lot of work in editing all the raw footage in this magnificent video. A big, big thumbs up.
We've had the pleasure to travel to Iceland a few times, and it does indeed seem to make you come back again, which we hope to do in a few weeks.
Let us wish you all the best in future travels. Stay safe and healthy
Best wishes from the Netherlands.
Thank you so much for your kind words! This gave us a very big smile ❤
Fully agree, Iceland is both challenging and beautiful whereas the former probably enhances the latter. Even after traveling around the country for so long, we are pretty sure we will return again :)
Let's Gooooooooooooo.......... Man is Back with Iceland Documentary, time to grab popcorn and a drinks

I guess the lakes and ocean are too cold. And what a mighty sight of that erupting volcano ! Always a pleasure to see your beautiful docs xxx thanks !
Iceland is wonderland.♥
The production quality of this video is worthy of National Geographic, BBC Planet Earth, Netflix, etc. I watch a lot of nature documentaries, and this is one of the best I've seen anywhere in at least a year!
Thank you so much! This comparison truly honours us ❤
One of the best quality video and audio I've come across at UA-cam. Even at 720p, it's already so beautiful!
--Shah Alam, Malaysia
Thanks a lot 😊
Thank you for the video clip.
This is the best Iceland documentary I have ever seen! I love this country, I’ve been there twice, I’m going again this July, but I really really want to do a ring road trip. Wow, you showed us things that I don’t think I’ve ever seen in any other videos!
Very happy to hear that! ❤️
