HEEEY GUYS! I'm looking for video ideas / Iceland topics for my upcoming videos! 👀 Soooo I wanted to check: What would YOU like to see? Iceland travel itineraries, Icelandic phrases to learn before your trip, road trip stuff?? I genuinely would love to know so that I can make exactly the type of content that you'd be most interested in seeing. Let me know! ✌🏻❤
We were there in April 2023. We finished seeing the South coast. We loved Iceland so much that we booked another trip to be there during the Christmas week to see the North coast this time. Hoping to see the Northern lights. It would be great to see more videos about visiting the North side in December and maybe seeing the active volcano as well :)
We will be coming to Iceland this December 2024! Definitely booking the Food Tour & Northern Lights Tour. Will you have the New Year’s Eve Party again this year? If so, we would love to ring in the new year Reykjavik Style! 🎉
We just finished our Iceland trip from Seattle. This channel helped us a lot. We stayed at AirBnB near the Lebowski bar. It was an amazing experience. Thank you to this channel
Loved the video. We are coming in on the night of the 13th, then heading to the Ranga for the next 4 days. We plan on stopping into Reykjavik on our way to the hotel for lunch. Then, we are doing the food tour with you guys on our last day (the 19th). We will probably do lunch and walk around town before joining the tour. Do you have a few recommendations for where we should eat on the 14th and that afternoon before meeting up with you guys? Thank you again for the most excellent information. Skal!
Hi, Thanks for making such interesting and helpful clips. Could you possible make one on what happens at Easter in Iceland? Traditions and closures? I imagine the stores and restaurants will be closed Good Friday and Easter Sunday?
Great video, thanks so much! I'll definitely drop you a message about restaurants as I can see you food tour is sold out for the dates we're over (28th dec - 2nd jan) 😞
We arrive mid December and cannot wait! My daughters would love snow but we are definitely going to be booking the Northern Lights tour with you and excited for ice skating. All sounds amazing. Great videos!
Love your content....coming to town for Christmas 2024 and will be staying in Reykavik for the holiday. Having trouble deciding what to do on the 24th and 25th given the limited things open and available...would love some ideas! Our agent has originally planned for us to do Sly Lagoon on the 24th and nothing on the 25th, but since we are going to Blue Lagoon later in the week if felt 'repetitive' then she suggested Perlan and Fly Over Iceland...any ideas from a local on things to do over the course of those two days in the downtown area?
Hi my name is Tiffanie, I am thinking about taking the trip in first week of December, would you please advise what is the things to be aware of,,or any advise I really appreciate you kindness in the advance. Enjoy your trip.thanks
Oh that's wonderful to hear Megan, thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it and I'm so glad our videos have come in handy! I definitely recommend subscribing, we plan on posting a new video with travel tips through the year every Friday (starting this week) ❤️🇮🇸 If you have any Iceland questions or need help with anything, you can always email us at info@wakeupreykjavik.com 🥳
First time coming to the coldest area in my life. We will be arriving on the 24th. Already booked northern lights tour. I’d like to know how we can use public transport/buses in Reykjavik since we are in the suburb.
HI! I'm looking to visit in the beginning of December. I'm a vegan and am looking for recommended restaurants that can accommodate that. Also, any recommendations for the best coffee shops? Thanks! (oh, also planning on staying in the Hotel Cabin - is that walkable to downtown Reykjavik?). Thanks again! :)
oh man! We just came back from Iceland in July and we did your Food Tour with Minty. Such a good time! Now, I'm thinking about heading back for New Years, and hopefully your party... (decisions, decisions...)
Hi I'm at the moment looking for flights to Reykjavik for March. Please can you tell me what the weather is like? Am I likely to see the Aurora Borealis? Thinking of staying for 3 nights. Many thanks.
Hey there Cora! Please read our blog about Iceland in March for the answers to your questions and some additional info about Iceland in that time! The blog is HERE wakeupreykjavik.com/visit-reykjavik-iceland-march :)
Heeey Clarizza! Dan here :) Awesome to hear that you're coming in January, it can be a fantastic time to visit! I'll try my very best to make a video, December is usually our busiest time of year and these videos take a while to make but I'll definitely try! Since your trip is approaching fast, you can always reach out at info@wakeupreykjavik.com if you have any questions or view/book activities on our page here: wakeupreykjavik.com/tours Warmest regards, Dan :)
Hey! Your videos have been super helpful! I will be in Iceland in September 2023 for a week. So excited to visit as I should have been in 2020! your ideas about Iceland travel itineraries, Icelandic phrases to learn before your trip and road trip advice is great! I'm from Scotland, so it'll be nice to experience a different culture as well as take in the beautiful views of the northern lights and landscapes! Hard to choose from the wide variety of tours haha. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and all the best for the New Year!
Awesome! Thank you Holly for the comment and suggestions! More videos coming super soon! Wonderful to hear that you'll be coming in September, I have no doubt you'll love it ❤
As we say in our videos, it's not ideal to drive in winter here since the days are darker, winds can be strong and the roads can be icy. However, winter temperatures and weather fluctuate - so you can be lucky and land on a nice week or unlucky and encounter storms. And there is no way to know this beforehand. So always be cautious and don't go out in situations you re not comfortable in! Or just do day tours and let the pros worry about all that stuff and just enjoy! ☺️
Hey! We really like both to be honest, Blue Lagoon is more of special occasion thing for us locals but we visit the Sky Lagoon perhaps 2-3 times a year ☺️
Hey, thanks for the video! Should the "december" discount code still be valid? I tried applying it to the snowmobile tour but it says "Code is not valid for items currently in the cart". Thanks!
Hey, I'll be going to Iceland on the 31st of december and through the first week of January. I was wondering about the opening times of (grocery) stores, museums etc. on the first days of January. Do you know something about this?
Heeey Isabelle! Dan here :) Awesome to hear, I'm sure you'll love it! January 1st is usually pretty similar to our Christmas openings (very limited) in regards to restaurants, grocery stores etc. Icelanders really celebrate on the 31st and will usually relax at home on this day 😇 I hope this helps Isabelle 🥰
Hey Eric! Thanks for reaching out! I think Ben was talking to you earlier today, were you guys able to figure it out together? I hope you guys are excited for the fun ahead! Warmest regards, Dan :)
Hey there George! Unfortunately, we are not a car rental company and don't work with any of them. So I think your best way to get some answers would be to contact the company you are trying to book with directly :) Hope this helps!
Heeey Maria! Dan here :) Awesome! We'd love to see you at our party this NYE. Super exciting! The promo codes works for all of the tours on our page but not for the NYE party (I'm sorry about that!). There is little wiggle room on the pricing due to the high price of renting the venue, staff on NYE and the alcohol that's included in the ticket :( But we'd love to see you there so I hope you can make it! ❤️🥳
Heeey Melanie! Dan here :) Great question! Yes - we're able to arrange alternatives. If you're able to have seafood then it'll be no problem at all since we have some really fantastic seafood alternatives. But if you can't have seafood then we can still make it work :) And yes, we welcome foodies of all ages! Kids get a discounted price and I'm sure they'll love it :)

I would like to visit around
First time coming to the coldest area in my life. We will be arriving on the 24th. Already booked northern lights tour. I’d like to know how we can use public transport/buses in Reykjavik since we are in the suburb.
Hey there Saima! How fun to hear that you will be here soon!
The best way to look into that would be to check out the bus webiste at www.straeto.is/en
HI! I'm looking to visit in the beginning of December. I'm a vegan and am looking for recommended restaurants that can accommodate that. Also, any recommendations for the best coffee shops? Thanks! (oh, also planning on staying in the Hotel Cabin - is that walkable to downtown Reykjavik?). Thanks again! :)
oh man! We just came back from Iceland in July and we did your Food Tour with Minty. Such a good time! Now, I'm thinking about heading back for New Years, and hopefully your party... (decisions, decisions...)
Wow, we just started selling our 2024 NYE party and we sure would LOVE to have you! Who knows.. maybe Minty will show up 🥳

can you do all these places without a tour?
Can you recommend any gluten free bakeries?
Hey there! Cooking Harmony has some fantastic options for gluten free people, check that out! :)
@@WakeUpReykjavik. Thank you, I will ❤
Great video thanks 🙏
Thanks Jack! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I just booked for Jan 24-Feb 2 how are the chances to see the northern lights around this time?
Sure are! But at the end of the day, it all comes down to nature sadly!
Can u pls let me know if we can drive in December? In comparison to Jan n Feb is it manageable
As we say in our videos, it's not ideal to drive in winter here since the days are darker, winds can be strong and the roads can be icy. However, winter temperatures and weather fluctuate - so you can be lucky and land on a nice week or unlucky and encounter storms. And there is no way to know this beforehand. So always be cautious and don't go out in situations you re not comfortable in! Or just do day tours and let the pros worry about all that stuff and just enjoy! ☺️
Would you suggest visiting the secret lagoon or blue lagoon? i am coming there in a month
also which volcanic tour to do?
Hey! We really like both to be honest, Blue Lagoon is more of special occasion thing for us locals but we visit the Sky Lagoon perhaps 2-3 times a year ☺️
@@WakeUpReykjavik. if i were to only do one, which one should I?
Hey, thanks for the video! Should the "december" discount code still be valid? I tried applying it to the snowmobile tour but it says "Code is not valid for items currently in the cart".
Thanks!
Yes it should! We updated the Snowmobile tours a bit so we had to reset it, sorry about that - hope it works now!
Book me in pls for Christmas party and golden trip
Sorry if this is a repeated question. In addition to Apple Pay, is Google Pay prevalent?
I have not heard as much about it, but I am sure it works in most places here like apple pay ☺️
@@WakeUpReykjavik. thank you! Also a group of us are taking the food walk dinner tour in December!
Hey,
I'll be going to Iceland on the 31st of december and through the first week of January. I was wondering about the opening times of (grocery) stores, museums etc. on the first days of January. Do you know something about this?

January 1st is usually pretty similar to our Christmas openings (very limited) in regards to restaurants, grocery stores etc. Icelanders really celebrate on the 31st and will usually relax at home on this day 😇

@@WakeUpReykjavik. yes thank you so much! I’ll have to make sure to get some groceries just in case then :p
Hi, Trying to book several tours but Promo Code December is not working. Please let me know once it is so we can book
Hey Eric!
Thanks for reaching out! I think Ben was talking to you earlier today, were you guys able to figure it out together?
I hope you guys are excited for the fun ahead!
Warmest regards,

@@WakeUpReykjavik. yes Ben and Thor helped me. Greatly appreciate the follow up
is there any student discount?
Hey there!
If you look at our video description we have a promo code valid for some of the tours we offer! :)
Hope that helps!
Hey just wanted to ask a question, I’m trying to hire a car, every 4x4 says I need to put a £2000 deposit with a credit card, can someone help?!
Hey there George!
Unfortunately, we are not a car rental company and don't work with any of them. So I think your best way to get some answers would be to contact the company you are trying to book with directly :)
Hope this helps!
Nice video, we were very excited to join the NYE party but the promocode doesn’t work 😢
Heeey Maria!
Dan here :)
Awesome! We'd love to see you at our party this NYE. Super exciting!
The promo codes works for all of the tours on our page but not for the NYE party (I'm sorry about that!). There is little wiggle room on the pricing due to the high price of renting the venue, staff on NYE and the alcohol that's included in the ticket :( But we'd love to see you there so I hope you can make it! ❤️🥳
Does the food tour accommodate vegetarians and kids? 😁
Heeey Melanie!

Great question! Yes - we're able to arrange alternatives. If you're able to have seafood then it'll be no problem at all since we have some really fantastic seafood alternatives. But if you can't have seafood then we can still make it work :)
