Thank you for all your advice!
You are so welcome! We hope you enjoy your time in Iceland.
This was such an informative video (together with your video on your top five things to do in Reykjavík) . Made so many notes for our own trip in summer ‘23! Thanks guys.
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your trip! Just be aware that if you are going in July-August, it will be significantly more crowded than when we filmed this video in June.
Great to see some suggestions that are not ‘the usual suspects’. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!

Have fun!

Whales are so cool and I love the glaciers

This is amazing ! i will be there in january 15 .I can't wait, and want to get there soon after seeing your amazing video. Thanks so much for sharing Dear Friend.
You're welcome 😊. Enjoy your trip!
New Zealand has everything that Iceland has and more, plus a much warmer climate!
We love New Zealand and have been there many times. But Iceland has something special. And Iceland is a lot more convenient for travelers in Europe and North America.
Great video! Thank you and happy New Year! 😊🎄👍
Happy new year to you too. We hope you enjoy your trip to Iceland!

V nice video
Thank you so much 😀
Iceland is one of my favorite countries. It is incredibly beautiful, extremely gracious people, and the entire country is as clean as can be. However,it ~is~ expensive. I strongly recommend going to the interior of the island, which requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Thanks for your advice.
Great video!! Which month did you guys visit Iceland?
June. Best time of the year, we think. Longest days. Not yet as crowded as July and August.
❤❤
❤❤ you too 😁.
💙💙
😍😍😍.

Thanks. We appreciate it.
At the glacier lake, book a kayak tour instead, so peaceful.
We visited 9 of those 10, pleased you didn't put the plane in.
Kayak was too much work for us :)
Excellent vdo. May I observe and experience all these natural wonders if I go during Northern Lights hunting time in Winter - November or March ?
You can because they are all around the main ring road. But days will be extremely short (as little as 5 hours of day and 19 hours of night in December), which means a lot of driving at night and very little time to see all these sights.
Great video. What type of camera do you use. Very clear and crisp video.
Haha, you're not going to believe this, but our channel is exclusively filmed with our iPhones (aside from the drone shots and underwater GoPro shots). Handy and easier to carry. The picture quality is not as good as with a camera, but good enough for what we do :).
@@JamesandLaurent I do believe it. That’s all I use for my channel, but Im not traveling like you. Ill be in Iceland 7/20, now Im only bringing my iPhone. Using any special apps? I use Filmic Pro mostly for video. Thanks.
Nope. Just normal iPhone.
@@JamesandLaurent Awesome.
Saw this on UA-cam
That makes sense :)
Can you recommend hotel/hostel to stay at Iceland?
What is your budget? Unfortunately, hotels in Iceland are expensive and the luxury and service quality don't always match the high price.
@@JamesandLaurent 100$/per night two people
That will be low. Most hotels were around $200/night, and we were there during the off-season.
Bommm
Thanks. We appreciate it.
It's a very unique place, indeed.
Too expensive, though...
How you doin', guys?
Very expensive indeed. We are doing good. Very relaxed after the trip.
Blue lagoon iceland
What is your question?
Team Iceland or team New Zealand if you could only pick one?
We think we like New Zealand's South Island better, but Iceland is so close and so easy to get to that we'll definitely be back.
I live in NZ and prefer Iceland
Really, James and Laurent? You couldn't learn how to pronounce five Icelandic names? What is the point of your video if you create a barrier between what is, and what you as a foreigner would like for things to be? Your video is the opposite of immersion. 'Don't mix, don't mingle, don't learn to pronounce'. I wonder if you learned "hello" and "thank you" in Icelandic. If you maintain a barrier, your viewers will feel the barrier.
