6 Towns You Need To Visit In Iceland

There are a number of small towns in Iceland you need to visit. When I first started planning our trip to Iceland it was really hard to actually narrow it down. While the country itself has seen an influx in tourism recently, there still wasn't a lot out there in terms of itinerary ideas outside of the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon. Thankfully Guide to Iceland has some good itinerary suggestions, and their team can provide great travel information. I think the biggest advice I would have when picking the towns in Iceland you want to visit is to research what kind of activities and accom

The Best Bits Of Reykjavik

Iceland. An incredible place and a beautiful country, the focal point of which is the bustling city of Reykjavik. During my stay in Iceland i spent 4 days in the dainty city and I’m going to share with you some of the things to soak up whilst you’re there. Hallgrimskirkja Church, Reykjavik Check Out The View From Hallgrimskirkja Church Standing head and shoulders above the rest of the city, this impressive building is the ultimate definition of a landmark. Visible from pretty much anywhere and very useful when gathering your bearings on where you may be within Reykjavik. S

When is the Best Time to See the Northern Lights in Iceland?

Are you looking for some information on the best time to see the Northern Lights in Iceland? Unfortunately, there is no magic formula that will give you 100% chance of seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland. I always tell people that seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland should be an added benefit to your trip rather than the main purpose unless you have a few weeks to hang out. There are many factors to consider when deciding the best time to see the Northern Lights in Iceland. For instance, weather conditions, solar flare activity, whether to find them yourself or go with a guided North

When is the Best Time to Visit Iceland?

By now, like most, you’ve seen all sorts of magical photos of Iceland. Waterfalls galore, black sand beaches, glacier hikes and rainbows in every direction. It truly is a special place to visit. You’ve done some research, you have a general sense of what you’d like to see, but now the big question. When is the best time for you to visit Iceland? Generally speaking, summertime is a great time to visit Iceland. However, depending on the experience you’re looking for there may be a different season better suited for what you want to do!

5 Things You Must Do During Your Iceland Stopover

Iceland stopovers are becoming a popular addition to any Europe trip these days. Everyone from Icelandair, Wow Airlines and Air Canada offer passengers a day, or even a couple of days in Iceland for little or no extra cost. It originally was started by Icelandair as a way to promote tourism to the country and has really kicked off. As tourism booms, Iceland has made its way to everyone's bucket list and travellers are wondering how they can see the best of Iceland in a stopover. Last year, we visited the beautiful country for a glorious 10 days. If you have the chance I would

Highlights of Reykjavik

Reykjavík, which is located in south west Iceland is the countries capital and largest city, with around 123 300 inhabitants living in the city centre. It is the place that most people think of when Iceland is mentioned and is the centre of all cultural, economic and governmental activity. It is also considered one of cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world, possible reasons why it is also an extremely popular tourist hotspot. Reykjavik, Iceland. Credit: eatsleeplovetravel.com The majority of Reykjavík located on a peninsula by the sea, however, it d

4 Lesser Known Waterfalls in Iceland You Shouldn't Miss

Iceland has no shortage of beautiful waterfalls. If you’re out of the city, it’s almost sure you’ll have a waterfall within eyesight or at least a river! Even though the country has easily over a thousand beautiful falls, there are a few waterfalls that have become iconic, including Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, and Gullfoss, among many others. While these may be among the top sights you must not miss while in Iceland, I want to share with you four other waterfalls that are just as impressive and beautiful, if not more, but that are still mostly outside the tourist's spotlight.

How To Visit Askja in the Highlands

Iceland is well known for its countless beautiful sights that are easily accessible along the Ring Road. The Ring Road circles all around Iceland, leaving the highlands (or central region of the country) mostly untouched. In fact, there’s barely any development in the highlands, which makes it the perfect place to explore some of the most unspoiled landscapes you’ll ever see. Among these landscapes is the famous Askja Caldera in the Dyngjufjoll Mountains – located on the northern side of the Vatnajökull National Park. Askja is a 50 square kilometers subsidence cauldron

Meet Iceland’s Famous Four-Legged Resident: The Icelandic Horse

Iceland’s green landscape is dotted with thousands of sheep and furry horses. No bigger than a large pony, the Icelandic Horse is a unique breed that came to the island nation of Iceland with the first settlers from Norway over 1100 years ago. Due to its isolation, the breed is one of the purest in the world. Header picture: Icelandic Horses nuzzling in the pasture (Source: Katelyn Michaud) About the Icelandic Horse Iceland is home to over 80,000 horses, which is impressive for a country with only 334,000 people. Bred for both riding and companionship, many Icelanders own at le

What to Read and Watch Before Your Trip to Iceland

Iceland is a truly unique country and learning more about the people and culture before you go makes a trip to Iceland especially rewarding. I’d been dreaming about this far away place - it’s particularly far when you grow up in Western Australia! - since I was a high school student and my friend’s sister constantly played music by the Sugar Cubes (whose lead singer was Bjork, who went on to become even more famous). Iceland has a fascinating history, some modern-day cultural quirks and a landscape and climate that can be so harsh and all of these feature in many of the bo

Five Short Hikes You Shouldn't Miss Doing on Your Next Trip to Iceland

With so much unspoiled natural beauty and diversity, spending time in the Icelandic outdoors feels like a dream. Naturally, hiking is one of the most popular activities done in Iceland, as it lets you slow your pace, have a moment in nature, and enjoy up-close the iconic waterfall, glacier, mountain, and overall scenery that inspired such hike. Iceland counts with hundreds of hiking options that range from a few short hours to a few weeks long. Since not everyone has the time to undertake a long hike on their vacation, here I’ll list five short hikes that’ll let you enjoy some o

Summertime in Iceland

For many, Iceland is synonymous with the world’s premier 100% natural, emission-free light show – AKA the Northern Lights. Sure, it’s dazzling and - when it plays ball - never fails to disappoint, but there’s more to Iceland than this. From black sand beaches to glacial hikes in the beaming sun, here are just a few of the reasons why visiting Iceland in summer is an experience you can’t clone, giving those icy winters and all that they bring a run for their money! Caution: Cute Animals Ahead It’s not only excitable tourists who love visiting Iceland i

Hallgrímskirkja: Reykjavik's Basalt-Inspired Church

Does it look a little ominous? Possibly. But the Hallgrímskirkja church in the capital city of Reykavik is in reality, a welcoming haven to lots of folks. (Want to start in Reykavik on a road trip? Check out this 5-day self-driving tour.) Many people come to visit the city to take photos of their giant spired place of worship, but might not think to visit inside. It’s well worth taking a closer look at this beautiful architectural wonder though to fully understand its impact on the city and entire country. It’s been a mainstay and icon of Reykjavik for decades, and now

Three Excellent Spots to go Puffin Watching

You’ve probably seen countless pictures of these cute, little, orange-beaked birds often referred to as “the clown of the sea.” The Puffin, or more specifically the Atlantic Puffin, is one of the most iconic creatures in Iceland, and a trip to the country would not be complete without seeing one of them either nesting or flying around. Iceland has the largest puffin population in the world, with over 60% of all Atlantic Puffins distributed all over the country. It is easy to travel the country, spot several colonies, and observe the birds in their natural habitat. Whi

How to Pack for Your Iceland Outdoor Adventures

Dressing in layers is important in Iceland! Packing for Iceland is probably going to be the most stressful part of your trip. The weather in Iceland can be unpredictable. Even in the height of the summer, you can get cold temperatures and rain. It’s not uncommon to have sun, rain, snow, and wind all in the matter of hours in Iceland. If you’re from New England like me, you won’t find the temperatures to be as cold even in the dead of winter, but if you’re from Florida or Italy, you better bring extra socks and mittens. Despite the unpredictable weather, Icelan

Perfect Ice Cream Pit Stops in Iceland

Where can you get the best ice cream in Iceland? Seems silly, but who doesn't love ice cream, even if it's freezing outside? Take a ride around the country to discover great places for desserts and sweet treats. Actually, you don’t even have to leave Reykjavik for wonderful flavors and intense sundaes to satisfy any sweet tooth. And sure, be brave while ordering ice cream over the winter, but the real fun starts when chomping on a waffle cone when the summer sun is out. No matter where you roam in Iceland there’s going to be countless options for ice cream lovers and froz

7 Ways to Make Your Trip to Iceland More Affordable

Many travelers, especially budget travelers, are often put off by the idea of visiting Iceland because they’ve heard it’s incredibly expensive. While Iceland is one of the most expensive countries I’ve visited, I was still able to make conscious choices that made a nine day trip to Iceland fit nicely in my budget. See Also: Budget Self Drive Tours. Choose a Budget Airline or Plan a Layover Often one of the biggest expenses when you’re traveling internationally (especially from the U.S.) is the flight. Luckily, there are a couple of options that make a trip t

6 Practical Tips For Saving Money In Iceland

Over the last few years, flights to Iceland have dropped plenty making planning a trip to the “Land of Fire and Ice” more affordable than ever before. Not only does Icelandair conveniently offer Iceland stopovers at no additional cost while crossing the Atlantic Ocean but Wow Air Airlines also offers low-cost flights to Iceland from many cities within the U.S. and Europe. Still, Iceland is an expensive travel destination. With that being said, for travelers looking to save wherever possible, here are six simple ways to save money in Iceland.

How Expensive is it to Travel to Iceland: Tips & Sample Iceland Itineraries

How Expensive is Iceland? Well, let’s face it. Iceland is an island, which inherently makes it expensive with all their import taxes. Add in the long, cold winters which affect the availability of fresh produce, and yes, Iceland can be an expensive place to visit. That being said, how expensive it is to travel to Iceland really depends on what you want to do, how big your group is, and how lavish you’re looking to go. If you’re traveling alone, that will make your trip to Iceland a bit more expensive because you won’t be able to split expenses, but it can still

10 Things Travellers Need to Know About Iceland Hot Springs

Bathing in hot springs has long been a part of the Icelandic culture. In fact, hot springs are so prevalent in Iceland’s history that a number of place names are named after elements related to geothermal activity, such as reyk (smoke/steam), varm (warm) and laug (pool). And in more recent months, the hot springs have been dubbed by some publications as Iceland’s secret to happiness. If you’re intent on walking in the steps of many Icelanders before you and bathing in hot springs, here are ten things you must know before you do. See Also: 15 Day Summer Hot Spring Hunt Sel

Here's What You Need to Know if You Are Renting a Car in Iceland

The best way to see Iceland is definitely by driving. The most popular route is driving through the entire country on Route 1. You’ll get the chance to see everything from mountains to beaches to volcanoes following the country’s most popular highway. With the tourism industry booming in the last couple of years, the country is still trying to catch up and renting a car is still a little bit confusing. Many blogs will encourage you to rent a 4x4, saying you’ll get stuck or can cause your car damage if you don’t. The problem with this is that 4x4’s are

Top Things to Do in Iceland in Summer

Iceland is an amazing country that I definitely recommend you to visit, either in summer or winter; but if you don’t like the polar climate or wearing winter clothes, one of the best times to travel to Iceland is during the months of June, July and August. The average temperature is about 11 degrees Celsius, much warmer than in the winter days. If you are traveling to Iceland at this time of year, here are the essentials and top things to do in Iceland in the summer so you don’t miss anything. Whale Watching and Puffins If you are a wildlife and animal lover, whale watc

Iceland is on the Top of my Bucket List | Here's Why...

I have a "Bucket List" and a "Must Do Again" Bucket List. Iceland is on both! I fell in love with Iceland! I regret that the time I spent there was way too short! There is truly so much to see and do in this magnificently unique country. My bad. I was naive. Listen to me now and hear me later - Iceland is one of the most amazing places on Earth. We were heading to Denmark to do a Scandinavian bus tour through Denmark, Sweden and Norway. When I learned Icelandair offers a lay-over deal – up to 7 nights in Iceland at no extra cost on airfare, I thought 3 days was

How to Plan a Camper Van Trip Around Iceland

Iceland is a country made for road trips. In fact, one of the most popular things to do in Iceland is to drive the 1332 kilometer long Ring Road, while discovering many of this island nation’s most popular attractions along the way. With so much more to do outside of the capital and the Golden Circle, a camper van trip around Iceland is the perfect way to see the land of fire and ice. It’s true that Iceland can be an expensive country to visit, though many of Iceland’s attractions are free. The biggest costs you’ll experience in planning your trip to Iceland are a ca

5 Road Trips to Take in Iceland

Iceland is made for road tripping adventures. With its easy to navigate roads and scenery packed landscapes, you will find yourself wanting to stop every few minutes for one spectacular sight after the next. There are several options for car rentals when planning a self drive road trip in Iceland. If you are planning on sticking to the main roads, a regular car rental of an economy, compact, mid-sized or full-sized car would be sufficient. However, if you are looking to venture off on the F-roads, such as those in the Highlands, you would want a 4x4 vehicle that can handle rough r

6 Spots You Must See in Southern Iceland

Find out what makes South Iceland so fantastic to visit! Southern Iceland is arguably the most popular region for tourists. With so many things to do and see, you could easily spend your whole time in this one region. The beauty of Southern Iceland is the vast amount of landscape and natural wonders you’re bound to see. You can choose between a variety of South Coast tours, or simply rent a car and drive yourself. The climate is often warmer in this region which only helps its popularity. If you’re visiting the region during the shoulder seasons, be mindful of the wet weather.

The Comprehensive Vegan Guide to Reykjavik, Iceland

Horses. Lambs. Puffins. Sharks. These aren’t just local fauna. While researching for my trip this year, I discovered that these animals were just as likely to be served up on a plate as they were to be found in the wild. I cringed. I panicked. Traveling to Iceland had been so high up on my bucket list for longer than I could remember, and now I would have to starve, rationing pieces of a granola bar and spoonfuls of oatmeal over a five-week span. The Reality of Being Vegan in Iceland Thankfully enough, my thoughts of miserable, bland sustenance quickly faded away. I contacted a few

How to Have the Best Honeymoon in Iceland: Five Romantic Things to Do

With its unspoiled landscapes, breathtaking natural beauty and serenity, Iceland has continued to rise in popularity over the years. And this is all the more true when thinking about Iceland’s romantic side. Many globetrotters have made Iceland their place of choice for marriage proposals, weddings and honeymoons. And when you consider that a honeymoon in Iceland could mean admiring waterfalls, hiking in the countryside, watching the Northern Lights dance overhead and relaxing in hot springs together, it’s no surprise that travelers are seeing how much love this European island

Ethics for Exciting Icelandic Horses Interaction

Forget the volcanoes, black sand beaches and towering glaciers – I wanted to see the horses in Iceland! As soon as I landed in Reykjavik, I kept my eyes peeled for these plucky little loves on four legs. Icelandic horses are known for being an agreeable, friendly and warm breed that can survive all elements and get along great with humans. They live long due to the lack of diseases they are susceptible to in Iceland, and no other horses are allowed to be imported into the island nation. This keeps the breed pure, strong and essential to the Icelandic way of life. So where can you see

Why Iceland is Much More than a Stopover

What once seemed a wild, untouchable destination has now become one of the most popular vacation spots in the world. In 2016 alone, 1.7 million people visited Iceland, a 40 percent increase since the previous year. Tourism has been a great source of economic growth, and it doesn’t appear that it will slow down anytime soon. While interest in the island and its unearthly landscapes are soaring, the question still begs: How many people are really getting to know the destination and its people’s culture? I’d wanted to visit Iceland for almost two decades before I actually

Tour al interior del volcán Thrihnukagigur (Inside the Volcano) en Islandia

Islandia es un país de una naturaleza increíble y una de sus principales características es la cantidad de volcanes que habitan en la isla. Algunos de ellos se encuentran inactivos en la actualidad, mientras que otros todavía pueden entrar en erupción (aunque nadie sabe cuándo ni si esto llegará a suceder). Por eso, no es de extrañar que muchos de los lugares de interés de Islandia incluyan visitas a cráteres o volcanes, y en Islandia hay un volcán especialmente interesante y único en su especie: Thrí

Normally when we travel for work, it can make for some long days in order to see and do as much as possible. However, last month I experience one of the longest, busiest days yet! It started with a departure from Winnipeg, and connection in Toronto. I departed Toronto at 9pm, which would have been 1am in Iceland. During my international flight, I watched a movie and napped for a few hours. Arrived into Iceland at 6:30am (1:30am in Winnipeg), I grabbed my luggage and rental vehicle and headed on my way. First stop was to visit the Northern Light Inn for breakfast and a
