Idk man, you made this video probably just to showcase your beautiful vacation, but this is one of the most helpfull videos i have seen about iceland. It is the only one that isnt trying to simply promote stuff too and has an honest opinion. Thanks i am a poor kid at 22years of age and i was planning to spend my savings from these last few years ALL in this one trip for 7 days. And i hope i will manage to do half of the stuff you did
@@LyfeUntethered Thanks, i have starded young against all ods honestly. It gets hard often when you dont have money, but then again life is not about money, its about living😁
Holy cow this was awesome to watch! Best utube video of the year award right here! 🥇You edited this video like a TV documentary done by professionals. 🥂 And wow, the scenery was just jaw dropping. So much beauty! 🍻
I have only just started watching the video but had to add, the natural hot spring tiny rock pool in Reykjavik on the way to Lighthouse Grotta was something I'll never forget
Excellent video - I so enjoyed it! I visit Iceland yearly and it still makes me cry. God has blessed Iceland with beauty upon beauty! Thank you for sharing your adventure :)
This video is amazing. We did the Southern Coast Line last time and are planning going for 10 days next summer, you ticked off half the stuff we were going to do...but also suggested some things we didn't know about it
Great video! I really enjoyed it and your pictures and videos were amazing! Did you have any issues flying your drone at the other locations besides gulfoss? Just wondering since I’m planning to bring one as well. Thanks!
Yes! You can't fly in national parks - so that's a big chunk, as in, the big glacier and Thingviller National Park. I asked for permission online to fly at Diamond Beach, but was denied becuase of the seaons for birds breeding or something. I could have flown in a lot of other places, however. There's usually a sign if drones aren't permitted. Where it's NOT permitted is usually to protect wildlife. It is worth bringing a drone, for sure, just be mindful of the signs.
Have to say, you presented Iceland better than I've seen by anyone else! You two packed in a lot in 10 days. The hot springs, the gorgeous beaches, the history, and don't forget about the beautiful horses you got to ride! Absolutely well done you two!
What an amazing video, I’m planning on a trip next year, 2023 . What month of the year did you go ? I’m trying to avoid the with crowds, but don’t want to go when is to clod or wet , which month would you say is the best . Thank you so much for your help 🙏
We went early June. It was kind of perfect, not too crowded, moderate weather, kind of the beginning of the "season". Plus, because it literally never got dark, we could hit most spots any time of day or night and avoid crowds altogether. One catch is that you won't see northern lights in June. That's a winter thing. It's the only time we've ever been, so I can't say if it's the best time or not. Iceland IS expensive, so it's gonna be cheaper in the winter... But also ❄❄! Thanks!
@@LyfeUntethered great! That is time we are going to visit Iceland this year. We I’ll be there June 4 to 17. Very interested horseback riding. Do we need to book ahead of time?
@@sophyyang8431 They were pretty available, so I think you'll be ok if you just call a day or 2 before. HIghly recommend LANGHÚS HORSE FARM! Tell Lukka Trevor and Leila say hi!
We went early June, just before the crowds. It’s warmer in summer, but more crowded. In winter it’s dark matter ch of the day but you can see the northern light. Way less crowded I’m sure. When we went was perfect for us. It all depends on what you want to see and do.
Hi amazing video ❤ I have a trip to Iceland in a few months, and I wanted to ask if you need a permit in those places you recorded with the drone or can you normally launch the drone and fly? can't find a map anywhere where it is allowed and where not, did you use any application to check the zone? I will be grateful for a hint
it's not allowed in national parks, but other places I had no trouble. I think you can get permits in some national parks, but they can deny based on season/animals.
Very beautiful photography. But "Seljalandsfoss" does not mean "selling the land of waterfalls". The word "sel" is a cognate of "shieling" which means "collection of huts on a seasonal pasture". "Seljaland" is then the name of the area around the waterfall, which probably used to contain a lot of shielings (literally: "land of shielings") and Seljalandsfoss therefore means waterfall in the land of shielings.
@@LyfeUntethered A well kept secret is that every Icelander takes such pleasure from foreigners attempting to pronounce icelandic words (no matter the pronounciation), that you never have to feel guilty about it. But I was generally impressed by the pronunciation (especially 'Seljavallalaug' and 'Skógarfoss'). It might be of interest to you that 'Seljavallalaug' and 'Seljalandsfoss' are more closely related in meaning than you might suspect. The 'sel' in both is a cognate of the old English 'shieling', and 'land' is simply land in English, but 'valla' in 'Seljavallalaug' is the genitive of the word 'vellir' which means roughly 'flatlands'. So, Seljalandsfoss really means 'waterfall in the land of shielings' and 'Seljavallalaug' means 'bathing pool in the land of shielings'. The word 'laug' means bathing pool and the icelandic word for Saturday is 'Laugardagur', literally day of going to the bathing pool = clean up day before Sunday; the day of rest.
I have to add that the interviews with the woman who told the story of Hrunalaug and the guy talking about Grettislaug was really special. It got to the history of the places your were depicting. I had some very personal moments, since my grandmother was born on a farm close to Grafarkirkja and as a youngster (about 11 yrs old) I helped deliver lambs in the springtime on the meadows just where the beer spa is now. At that time (in the early 1980s) beer was prohibited by law. It was first made legal in 1986. Thank you!
@@rognvalduringthorsson7727 thank you for the extended explanation!! Thank you for the kind words Trevor genuinely had a way with language! Loved loved loved Iceland ❤️💫. Leila
Congratulations. You put all mainstream activities everyone almost everyone has in his videos in here and then made a thumbnail saying "hidden gems". What's wrong with you?
OMG that's been on my bucket list for way too long! Trevor you did it Epic job of capturing the beauty, saying the words lol just a stunning epic beautiful tour you took us on. And I love you guys for it. Probably the closest I'll ever get to Iceland unfortunately health problems. But really wonderful.. I hope you have a couple more to come?. I must have missed were you announced you were going to Iceland.. Thanks again so very much! Safe and happy travels to you both✌😘
Thanks you Sue! I’m working on the vlog/ #vanlife version now. About a week till it’s up. Then we might do a “how to camp in Iceland” video since it’s different than the US. Wishing you better health!

Trevor, wonderful!! Your trip sounded fantastic, and this is fabulous video, no surprise! Thanks for sharing it. As you probably know, it's harder to find off the beaten path guides. Someday...
Bear in mind that all these complicated Icelandic place names are just German-style compound words. A name like Eyjafjallajökull is easier when broken down into it's components; Eyja-Fjalla-Jökull. The literal meaning reflects the fact that it is a glacier (jökull) sitting atop a series of mountains (fjalla), seen from the Vest-manna-eyjar (Eyjar = Islands, i.e. Westman Islands) - the alternative being that the Vest-manna-eyjar can be seen from this glacier. Jökulsárlón, broken down, is Jökuls-ár-lón, i.e. Glacer-River-Lagoon. Simple, right? If you are raised with the oldest known Norwegian dialect (Old Norse) as your native language (also called Icelandic) this becomes as natural as breathing...
Hello Lyfe thanks for the beautiful presentation hitting all the epic places in Iceland.Did you stop in Vic? Why did you not cover Arkurery?Did you visit any islands? Just would like to know because I am going in Dec.thanks .Happy travelling.
We did visit VIK it’s the place with the bus coffee shop ! I loved that place !!! You can access . We packed tons tons in to 10 days ! We were there in June - just off the winter season. The highlands require 4x4 we traveled in a van.
Great tips in this video, thank you! I have a question, where exactly did you rent your campervan? And are you able to rent snorkeling gear at Silfra on the spot? If so, how much does that cost?
I dont' remember where we got the van, but I thing there are several places if you google. For silfra I believe you must have a tour guide and can't just jump in on your own.
I like the map indication with all spot you mentioned simple and clear , definitely good for travel itinerary plan when travel Iceland . Thank you for sharing
we booked Airbnb during our stay in the southern region and rented a car for a week. All the attractions in Iceland are wonderful but I loved skogafoss waterfall the most. I will definitely go back to Iceland to experience the northern region next time 😍
@@TrevorJonescreator thanks. I was just very disappointed as I was searching for the hidden gems, that not so many visit, not the things that you read and hear about in ordinary tourist information. There are so many other places to visit on Iceland, and I'm planning our next trip to we avoid those overcrowded places and go for the real hidden gems. Stay safe.
@@key2adventure there are some of the best adventures there that you will 100% miss. Iceland is big, confusing and has so many distractions. Horses with a private party and diamonds on the beach early am...! I hope you enjoy the trip and trust those that have been there before you :) enjoy !
