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.

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 Northern L

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 strongly recom

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.

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. Trust me, if you

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 formed when a lava cham

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 least one of

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 books and shows you

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 of these ench

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 in summer, oh no - you’ll be joined by the

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 has become a popul

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. While there are many place

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, Iceland is an incredible country wi

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 frozen dessert deligh

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.

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 be a very reasonably priced

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.

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 extremely expensive to rent for week-lo

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.

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 going to be enough. I 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 car rental and accommodati

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 roads and v

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.

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 driving

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 of my

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 is able to o

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 these

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?

Glacier hike: first-time experience

What could be more exciting than walking the biggest glacier in Europe? So I went to check it myself. The weather was beautiful, which is rather an exception for a stormy February in Iceland. I was a little worried that I have never climbed a glacier before and have never used crampons or an ice axe... At the gathering point, Troll Expeditions was lively: everyone picked up the crampons and axes, boarding the huge bus and were excited about the adventure. So what exactly is this glacier would you ask? The Vatnajokull Glacier is the largest in Europe, occupying 8% of the territory of Icelan

Кошки, мшиные мыши и вороны Одина

Что может быть более захватывающим, чем пройтись по самому большому леднику в Европе? Так решив, я поехала в приключение на этот самый ледник. Погода была прекрасной, что для штормового февраля в Исландии скорее исключение. Я немного переживала о том, что прежде никогда не взбиралась на ледник и не использовала «кошки», что уж говорить про ледоруб... Но вид ледника, который сопровождал нас по левую руку на подъезде к точке сбора, вдохновлял. На точке сбора Troll Expeditions было весело: все подбирали размер туфелек, то есть кошек. Почувствовав себя немного Золушкой, когда прекрасный принц

Piękno lodu - Vatnajökull i lodowcowe jaskinie

Lodowce kojarzą się głównie jako niedostępne i enigmatyczne - w szczególności osobom z obszarów, gdzie w ogóle nie występują. Wyobrażenia na ich temat bywają też powierzchowne. Ot ogromna masa lodu - jak sama nazwa sugeruje. Tymczasem są to jednocześnie prastare oraz niezwykle dynamiczne twory natury. Zaskakują bogactwem form i kolorów, a stąpanie po nich po raz pierwszy, daje uczucie przebywania w innym, nieznanym dotąd świecie. Świat ten można poznać m.in. na Islandii, gdzie swoje oblicza odkrywa lodowiec Vatnajökull. Vatnajökull to pierwszoligowiec wśród lodowców. Zajmuje powierzchnię 79

Выходные по-исландски

Как почуствовать себя настоящим исландцем? Конечно, в первую очередь, нужно научиться выговаривать без запинок Эйяфьятлайёкютль :) Но есть и путь попроще - арендовать небольшой исландский домик и спрятаться от суеты на лоне природы. Это одно из самых популярных занятий у исландцев - уехать в свой sumarhús, то есть в летний домик. При этом уехать туда можно в любое время года. Вот мы с друзьями решили остановиться в одном из таких коттеджей на выходные в декабре. Домик расположен недалеко от поселка Флудир, что на Юге Исландии. От столицы Исландии, Рейкьявика, путь на машине занял около 2 ча

렌트카로 여행하는 아이슬란드의 겨울! 오로라 거기있어!

아이슬란드를 여행하는 가장 좋은 방법 중 하나는 렌트카 여행입니다. 도심 외에는 대중교통편이 발달하지 않은 아이슬란드에서, 도시간 이동을 하려면 버스가 없기 때문에 꼭 렌트카가 있어야 하지요. 당일 투어를 신청하여 다녀오지 않는다면 말이에요. 그런데 또 이런 투어는 무조건 수도인 레이캬비크에서 출발하고 되돌아오니까 내 마음에 드는 곳에서 더 오래 머물 수도 없습니다. 특히나 겨울에는, 레이캬비크처럼 불빛이 환하지 않은곳 즉, 도심이 아닌 곳에서 오로라 관측이 훨씬 잘 되기 때문에, 오로라 관측을 원한다면 꼭 렌트카로 여행을 하시길 권해드립니다. 그럼 렌트카를 빌릴 수 있는 기준이 어떻게 될까요? 1. 렌트카를 빌릴 수 있는 자격요건 최저연령이 만 20세 이상 (4륜구동 차량은 만 23세 이상) 운전면허증을 발급받은지 최소 1년이 넘었으며, 차량을 빌릴 때 유효기간도 1년 이상 남아있어야 합니다. 2. 렌트카 차량 인수시에 필요한 것들 운전면허증 원본과 더불어 국제운전면허증이 필요합니다. 물론 영문으로 발급받은 운전면허증이 있다면 이 영문운전면허증만 가지고 오면 됩니다. 2019년 9월부터는, 뒷면은 영문으로 된 영문운전면허증을 신청할 수

fara公司

大家如要選擇此公司作為在冰島自駕時，請大家浪費幾分鐘的時間看看這篇評價，且一定要三思！這間FARA公司與詐騙沒有什麼區別，一開始就因為這間公司的評價不錯而選擇，可能是有打手或給高評價就能回贈能在此公司再次租車的優惠，我們看見這麼高評價就選了這間公司，誰知也是惡夢開始。我們一起6人選擇了這台Mercedes Vito 4x4 9 seats 2017的車款，當取車的時候，看見車子已經不是我們拿的車款，車子外殼有被大撞過痕跡，司機旁邊乘客那個車門有嚴重損毀，甚至是不能正常能關門，要用很大力才能把門關上，我們要求租車公司跟我們更換車子，接待我們的是一位女生，態度極之惡劣，甚至不耐煩地回應我們各樣東西，作為一個旅客我覺得不應受到這樣的對待！她說那個位置不會影響我們駕駛，且也沒有車子能更換給我們，我們只好接受，然後我們都把車子的外殼有損毀的地方用手機拍照了。我們於8/10/2019-15/10/2019租了那台車，到14號的早上，突然發現車子的底部那塊膠板有螺絲鬆脫，膠板掉了下來導致影響駕駛，前提下是我們重沒有碰撞過，我們停在路上用想辦法繩子紮着，接著15號駛回租車的店舖告訴店員，店員要求我們半小時後再來，當我們再到店舖時，店員並告知我們要求賠償67352冰島幣，我們並和他們理論，根本就是車子於較早前已經有損毁和碰撞過，在取車前並沒有可能要求把車子升高再檢查底部，他說要我們負責任！因我

Wyprawa do wnętrza Ziemi! Wulkan Thrihnukagigur

Nadszedł ten dzień... Mój kolejny wyjazd na Islandię. Mimo, że jestem miłośniczką ciepła i egzotycznych kierunków, to właśnie Islandia skradła moje serce chyba już bezpowrotnie. Przy okazji kolejnych wypadów do tej krainy staram się realizować kolejne swoje marzenia. Jednym z nich stał się swego czasu wulkan Thrihnukagigur. Ta dzikość natury, tysiące wodospadów, lodowce, wałęsające się wszędzie owce i przeurocze islandzkie konie, ogromne przestrzenie, nieprzewidywalność pogody... Urzekające są paradoksalnie nawet zimno i deszcze, które towarzyszą mi od samego początku, od pierwszej wizyty w

How Much Can You See & Do in 24 Hours?

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 tour. After a much

Самое интересное — внутри острова

Чтобы увидеть все-все в Исландии и не в бешеном темпе, понадобится не менее месяца и солидный бюджет. Если времени и средств на столь длительное путешествие достаточно, и нет страха ездить по горам на внедорожнике, то определенно стоит посмотреть горный массив Кедлингарфьедль (Kerlingarfjöll), несколько дней провести в цветных горах Лаундманналойгар (Landmannalaugar), забраться на вулкан Лаки (Lakagígar), проехаться вдоль ледника Мирдальсйёкюдль (Mýrdalsjökull), добраться по живописной дороге F235 до озера Лаунгисьоур (Langisjór) и при хорошей погоде погулять в его окрестностях. Во всех этих м

Поездка в Исландию - к чему надо быть готовым и что необходимо знать

• Исландия страна северная. Поэтому климат здесь суровый даже летом. Температура может кардинально меняется в течение дня, ливень может начаться неожиданно, промочить тебя насквозь и также быстро закончиться, а ветер порой сбивает с ног. При этом загореть летом можно запросто. • Чтобы увидеть все красоты Исландии и заехать внутрь острова, сюда надо прилетать только с июня по сентябрь. Именно в эти месяцы открыты внутренние дороги вглубь острова. Причем в начале лета снег в горах активно тает, а значит реки и ручьи более полноводные. В конце июля — начале августа воды в горах уже меньше. И
