    We skipped the tourist crowds by travelling and hiking at night under the midnight sun. Was quiet, bright and beautiful. Got to the Westfjords but missed some other places. Such a beautiful country.

    Another good one is Gullfoss (just joking). I was hoping you would tell us about some more specific locations, Westfjords is a very big place, as are the other four on the list.

    My tip- GO IN MAY! There were barely any tourists (not enough for it to be a big problem outside of places like skogafoss and seljalandsfoss). The weather was also okay (45-50F)

    Thanks for sharing. I'm planning to go to Iceland in Feb/Mar and it will be my first time. For first timers I reckoned that all those usual touristy place such as golden circle is a must do. No matter how crowded it would be, the attractions in golden circle are still uniquely Iceland - can't leave them out. Yes indeed there are many other off beaten tracks to discover.

    • @Noxweell
      @Noxweell 6 років тому

      just make sure to speed through and dont spend too much time on the golden circle.. but if you go in Feb/March there wont be too many tourists. I went at the same time..it can be cold as fuck, but not too many tourists around, especially outside the golden circle.

    Hi Jennie, it's funny that you mention about the boom in tourism. On the other UA-cam channel with an icelander I mentioned in a comment long ago that Iceland is one of the most unrecognized country for its beauty in nature.😯

    I went to the east fjords and I stayed in Breidalsvik (a little village) and it was amazing. Really recommend you to do the whole ring road and pass from the east fjords

  • @melissadiamond8664
    @melissadiamond8664 5 років тому +1

    Can you provide a more detailed guide to visiting the Westfjords. It is difficult to find information online about what to see there.

    • @IcelandwithaView
      @IcelandwithaView  5 років тому

      I did do a video on the Westfjords here: icelandwithaview.com/weekend-breathtaking-westfjords-video

    Jeannie with a view---I love your videos and tips on Iceland. We are traveling there 4/6/18-4/17/18. So... your video on hidden gems.....
    Is there anywhere we should avoid of those during the time we are there?

    I’ll bet thats great in summer but don’t think during winter it’s even going to be accesible...

  • @erichaineault5789
    @erichaineault5789 3 роки тому

    Simple question for you. Im planning on going to Iceland next summer, mostly for hiking. Since the sun rise pretty early, do you know if it is possible to get to some hiking spots or beaches like really early (before 6am) to avoid the crowd or there are limited times to acces those places?

    Going to Iceland in June with my adult daughter, this will be my sixth time, her first. Going to stay on the south coast upto Vik any suggestions besides the obvious?

    • @bbbb6066
      @bbbb6066 6 років тому

      From Vik take 214 to the end and hike up the hills, also my wife and I hike up Hjorleifshofoi and the view as great. My key board does not have the Icelandic letters so I got as close as I could. You can see it from rt 1. There are also little travel books and best is to ask at the place where you are staying.

      I went last year from Reykjavík to the south. Every waterfall had its own beauty/ memory. Going back this year and completing the ring road. Unfortunately I won’t have enough time to get to west fjords for that beautiful curtain waterfall.

    They're not going to be less traveled once you post this. They'll be ruined like every other tourist trap.
