How to Visit Iceland on a Budget
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- I think we have found the cheapest and most budget way to get out there and explore Iceland!
In this camping episode we head to Thorsmork national park to go on an absolutely insane hike overseeing beautiful Iceland below. From there we head to see the best waterfalls we have ever seen - Skogarfoss, and Seljarlandsfoss before making our way to Viks black sand beach.

“We just stopped randomly at a masive glacier” haha that glacier is a vulcano is it’s called eyjafjallajökull the one that erupted last in 2010 and covered Europe with a big cloud of smoke
Haha umm where do we even start with the pronunciation of that volcano 😂
If you think this is a massive glacier just wait until you get to Vatnajökull.
No Shannon, that one is Snæfellsjökull
@@DrunkViking No, it was Eyjafjallajökull. They just moved it to be geographically located in the West instead of the South for reasons of Hollywood.
@@landkonnudur that can be true. Have not seen the movie. Just remember a trailer that talked about snæfellsjökull.
The music choices of the channel really make you dive into a daydream of indie romance and wonder. They've been popping into my recommended as of late and I'm thankful.
Congrats to the couple on their beautiful newborn. Good luck in your parenting adventure.
I'm from Iceland and I have lived here all of my life.🇮🇸
Ólöf Inga Einarsdóttir your country is beautiful....we visited a few years ago...
The luck of the draw...
I wish I could say that
Sitting in a lock down watching your old Iceland vlogs is giving me major travel fever
How BEAUTIFUL are the shots of Jess just walking, love it!
I just feel happy every time I receive a notification saying that you've just published a video ! Thank you for this.
Ahh you are so so sweet :) Hope you're enjoying our Iceland series!!! We LOVED filming it!
I stayed at the second campsite of you trip a few years ago! It was my last night of a 7 day trek along the Laugavegur trail in Iceland. This trek is the most beautiful trek ever and has the most diverse landscape! I highly recommend anyone who is going to Iceland to do this trek! ( I did it at ~16 yrs old so anyone can do it) It is also more affordable than going on an organized tour like this, so if someone is looking to see what Iceland really looks like, and stay at some AMAZING campsites, know that there are other ways to do it than a tour! I cannot recommend this trek enough! Iceland is gorgeous
What kind of food would be recommended for such a long trek? I guess canned food would be king in this situation but I am asking because you already went through that. Thanks! :)
Iceland looks incredible! I had never given Iceland much thought before until this year. I had friends visit there earlier in the year when it was all snowy and wintery and it’s cool to watch your perspective exploring it in the summer. What a beautiful country. ❤️
I don't know why but the positivism you guys possess and the consistency of that makes me feel refreshed after watching you guys .
Iceland looks SO awesome!
Such an insane spot!! So glad we could check it out for you 😊
I'm Icelandic and I have travelled all around iceland. I did it with my family to visit relatives and sleep there and it took 2 weeks.
Iceland is one of my favorite places in the world. Thanks for the video -- I'll definitely use some of your suggestions.
One of the best Iceland videos I've ever watched! Thank you for making this! I an't wait to visit!
It’s really all those views , i can’t believe it , you are so lucky . The view of waterfalls is beautiful .
I've never wanted to go camping in my life. Until now.
This literally made Iceland a must visit after lock down much love,just subscribed from South Africa.
The landscape is beautiful and wonderful.
I hate how these dont have more viewers! You guys are the best wish you luck.
Don’t know if I write it elsewhere, but I love Jess‘ voice. Also your australian english is so clear and nice to hear.
Sometimes I only listen to your voice instead of watching.
The "landmarks" or hexagonal pillars you saw were probably basalt columns. The volcanic rock cools down and then cracks are formed in a certain pattern. The ones in Ireland are called the Giant's Causeway after its interesting legend which involves a Scottish giant. There is also Fingal's Cave on Staffa, Scotland which was formed around the same time.
This is a great one! Love seeing the rest of the tour group a little bit too :)
Such a good vlog mate! Excited to be heading there next week!
Wow 😍 This has to be my favorite vlog of yours; the music choice is epic and the cinematography as well :))
Hey guys,
Now Iceland is my dream destination. Thank you for introducing me to this beauty.
From Sunil & Param.
Don’t know how another video can top this one but I’m looking forward to it.
Thank you for taking me. and a wonderful selection of music :-)
What a beautiful country! I hope that my hubby and I can visit soon!
I hope to find someone, someday to travel the world with like you guys. Iceland is my dream, thank you for this video 😊
Amazing as always! Loving these Iceland videos, can't wait to see where you guys are headed next!
Iceland looks so incredible! I have been wanting to go but watching your videos make me want to go even more!
i really love your videos as well as your guides on what to do and eat in every places you go to. Would be lovely if you guys could include the dates of travel for each Trip in the description box or you could put in the date on the bottom left of the vlog videos. just a suggestion, cheers! Hope you guys have a lovely day!
wow what a beautifull song ! The Eastern Plain - Perfect Storm - Thank you!!
one thing i dont do.. is watching people do travel blog about the country i live in and have for all my life.
but i really enjoyed this, you have a way of getting me to smile along with you.
i hope you enjoyed our little island,
i hate breaking it to you, but the continent thing on þingvellir is a bit of a hoax, its actually only the american contident and then a nother little one that broke of either one of them, that one then reaches all they way up to the vatnajökull area, thats why you get all the volcanic activity up there, because thats where the eurasian continent comes up shore.
when traveling in iceland i think the most fun is to go over the highlands and the circle road on a modified truck or SUV, thats something you dont do on a budged, but thats the way to experience the country.
then there are so many other places, like the westfjord peninsula, the area that looks somewhat like the head when you look at the country at a map. the tourist routes usually bypass that area completely. also snaefellsnes and many other place.
cheers!
Los sigo desde España. No me pierdo ni un capítulo.
Nací en Argentina. Deberían ir allí como próximo destino!!!!
Un beso y abrazo para los dos.
MARIANA 🇦🇷 XOXO 🇦🇷
Aww we still need to visit Spain and need to go back to Argentina soon! Thank you for all your support :)
@@flyingthenest ALWAYS... Love you guy's! Mariana. #Spain #Argentina
YOU GUYS! The editing, the music, EVERYTHING. Loving it ♥
Naww that's oceane!!
Ohh, Iceland ... How come this place look soo marvelous? 😍🇮🇸
I know right? Why has it taken us this long to explore it?
You guys are beautiful inside and out! Your videos always make me smile!
Awww Tammy :) :)
i love you´r UA-cam channel - i´m from Iceland, and it was grate fun to see your travel blog about my country.
Really LOVED your video! I'm much into camping (beeing a biker) and if I'll ever make it to iceland, I'll surely try this. Thank you so much!
Thankyou so much for sharing with US.hope you have an amazing time.
Yessss, it just gets better and better 😍Loving them!!
Just found your youtube channel. Amazing videos. Great destinations. Especially Iceland. We ve been to Iceland in July 2018. The weather was aweful. Seems like you were very lucky... it is great to see all the places again. Looking forward to your next video.
Cheers Tom from Bavaria
I've never seen anything so beautiful in my life!!!
loved this vlog the views and water falls where beautiful!
Just love your videos you both are a real pleasure to watch.
Id love to make it to Iceland one day, see the green fields with the volcanic rock boulders. It's such a land of constant extremes, volcanos and glaciers, soft fields and rugged mountains. Just knowing how it was discovered, sailing out into the unforgiving ocean not knowing if you'll find land or fall off the edge of the world. I love everything about it, it seems like such a great adventure
Outstanding production!!! You keep topping yourselves.
i'm very excited for the insanely epic last video in Iceland !!!!!!
Ohhh it is going to be EPIC :D
I went to Iceland for 12 days this may. Although the weather was windy, had 60% I miss it every second since then.
You guys play beautiful music, goes so well with each scene!!
i jus forgot that i am in dubai right now, u guys took me into iceland . beautiful video with nice edit and music. worth watching!!
I managed to stay in a luxe cabin for £27 a night in Iceland which was pretty LEGIT (and I think I got very lucky - haha!), but I've gotta admit that you've made me, a girl who HATES camping, think this would be a lot of fun!!!
Going this month! I can't wait! Great video!
So glad to hear!! Where are you going?
Love the views and we think that this would be the best time too cold any other time ha ha stay safe and have fun
Love your vlogs. You inspire me to travel more!
Awwh that makes us so happy :) Where do you want to go next??
Flying The Nest Greece - Santorini and Mykonos!
Always happy when there is notification on my phone when u post a video.Hope u make another candy video all the best guys ✌️
The most Epic place on earth I have visited!
Another amazing Jess video.
loving your work guys, I have been re living my trip through your vlogs!!!
Yeah the water in iceland are so amazing...
I remember going behind that waterfall! I didn't have a jacket with me back then and I was soaking wet and shivering 😂
The massive "steps" are basaltic rock. It forms these formations due to volcanic eruptions. Also on that same beach you could see 3 large rocks in the sea? There is a legend going on about that. Smth about trolls or giants having to run for their life and turning into stone.
Stunning country is all I can say
"Insanely epic last video from Iceland"...as if these don't fit that category already! :)
Absolutely tremendous!
That shot @9:53 was so adorably cute
Just recently found this channel by luck and love it so far, it inspires me to travel more. Try Sweden we have some great food atleast if you try the local good stuff and stay away from the fermented herring. and btw swedish local food taste better than the IKEA stuff :D Great channel love it
Ahhh so good! Keep it coming guys! You made me laugh so so hard at times in this one! Taco dogs!!! 😂😂 love the rendition of the bi polar immitation of Jamie Oliver/Gordom Ramsay that girl was hilarious too! Great choice of music especially on the bus! The stones Jess was walking up that looks like steps looks like where we will visit in the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland in a few weeks :) We will be headed to England first this weekend! :) Hope they have sorted out their luggage issues at Heathrow lol
By the way, I can see you both have such a passion for trave that has not burnt out and to be honest - I believe it only gets far stronger of a flame when you do it more often - it is very addicting and never goes away :)
You guys planning on travelling for life?
I'm living for your videos guys
Omgosh guys the taco dog night, what a highlight haha loved this :)
Your videos are not good for my bank account!! Thanks for more great content guys! X
The rock formations by the black sand beach is called Stuðlaberg (could translate as column rock). I saw in earlier video from you that you were admiring the architecture of Hallgrímskirkja (the big church in Reykjavík). The design of the church was meant to represent this Stuðlaberg.
Did you really not go behind Seljalandsfoss? Then you definitely missed out. It's amazing.
I really enjoyed your Iceland videos, brings back a lot of memories (I was there last year). My favourite country in the world (so far, still some left on the bucket list:)).
Iceland is so amazing
Idk why but im just getting happy seeing this im from iceland btw🥰😍
I was in Island twice with my motorcycle 1997 and 2000 , it's the Most beautyfull Place i know 👍👍👍👍👍

Taco dog 🤣

They are a great inspiration to me. Greetings from Mexico City.
7:32
Cold tap water is on pair with Norwegian water (in other words, good =)
The hot water...
Because it's heated by volcanic heat in many places it tends to smell a bit like rotten egg...
The taste is ok though if you don't mind the smell.
Its 11.15pm,friday in india...waited the whole day... Bt finally it's here... Now after watching this...I can sleep now... 😍😍
soumi mandal hahaha😂😂sweet dreams😂
Yo Bharat Mata ki jai.
Nawww good night Soumi!!!
Gn8 everybody... 😃😃
@@soumimandal1909 have a nice and sweet dream
oh my god... it's like you're in a fairytale... wow!
Another entertaining vlog !! As always! :) You are my inspiration to have my own channel :)
“There is not a visible cloud in the sky at the moment.”
*obvious clouds over left shoulder*
lol... Nice video though! :)
Those berries are called crowberries. I couldn’t get enough of them. Everywhere we went I picked those and wild blueberries.
Being wait for this ☺️ .hope you too r doing good
Aww hope you enjoy it :D
Awesome, so happy for you guys to tick Iceland off your bucket list 😊 not sure about the hotdog tacos tho lol
Very nice you guys,i love iceland.
Thanks for sharing that with us 😍😍😍
Hope you find it helpful :)
Oh yeah it's really helpful☺thanks again
Also, the song Sleep on the floor by the Lumineers would oh so perfectly fit these iceland videos, do u think u could maybe play a little of it on the next one :)))
Ooooh ill have a look! It can be quite tricky with copyright songs but if I can find a remix or a cover ill add it in :)
Yayyy!!!
More on the budget videos!
Looks epic there!
🌿Love the hike. At the campsite minute 5:30 I’d guess you’re eating crowberries. We’ve only ever gone in June sometime I’d like to go for berry season.
I just heard an interview with Mike Wolters (Wolters World) and he mentioned loving your videos.
Oh so nice him dof you have a link to it?
@@flyingthenest It keeps deleting my comment due to links. On iTunes it’s the travel man podcast the episode is called Around the World With Mark Wolters. Go to 51:15
7:22 I travelled around the whole country with nothing but a cup for water. No bottle, no filter. You can literally drink direct from any stream or river
YES!! The water in Iceland is incredible!
do you need a car (rented) to move around Iceland? its cheaper to do it by public transportation?
this is so so cool!
Love it guys
