    I live in the Netherlands but have family from my Icelandic mothers side living in Mosfellsbær and Selfoss. This august I’m going back to Iceland and I’m soooo excited to see my family again and eat all the good food ♥️ I’m really lucky that I always can stay and eat at my family, but thank you for the advice!

    I visited Iceland in March for 11 days! Was amazing! Actually i did all the things you said. And something extra is to try find room with breakfast. Then you will be full until afternoon, then you can snack the things you buyed from bonus, and the night you can eat a hot dog, or soup, or something simple.
    We also've rent a car, and we didnt choose N1. But the pink one gas station. Even if they told us (from the rental) that we will have free coffe at n1. We visited many many hot spring! Eeeevery day in a different spring. In a different town, in the ice cave...everywhere. Its true that you will stay in the room only the night. We spend 1600€ per person, for 11 days, aaaall included (also the airtickets)

    Really missed you insightful videos into a land that is not widely known in the US at least. Your tips reminded me of a trip I took with my dad to Alaska. We went for a month, and the most enjoyable parts were just getting out into nature, and everything there is far more expensive than in the rest of the US due to the isolation, which likely is the same for Iceland. I hope to get to your country within the next five years or so.

    @vc4850 Год назад +2

    One tip relating to the last tip. On our trip, we noticed many locals taking advantage of the duty-free in the airport to purchase alcohol. It is quite a bit cheaper, and even people who did not drink were purchasing the duty-free for friends and family. So get that bottle of wine when you first arrive, and save a few ISK.

    I went to Iceland during the eruption last year in August 2022. We stayed on a friend of my son's 30 meter yacht in the Harbor. I didn't pay for anything as his friend did or my son who is a doctor and can afford it. After looking at the eruption we went on a guided tour of the Westfjords and lodging up there was ridiculously cheap.

    Nice to see you again Hrafna, one good thing for visitors is that the Icelandic crown is not that very strong, what makes it all way less expensive. For me here in Sweden that off course not matters att all, because we do even worst.

    My wife and I were in Iceland over Christmas a couple years ago. We stayed in the capital/ harbour area near Hallgrimskirkja. One thing I can't stop thinking about and was the most helpful that's in your list is those scooters! we used those to go everywhere! so fun, fast, and cheap. It cost us about $70 USD for all 6 days we were there and we scooted everywhere we went from downtown all the way to the harbour. Even though some days it was snowing and icy it was still fun and useful.

    Just got back from Iceland on Tuesday. We just rented a car and did AirBNB all over the Island. Drove just shy of 2000km in 7 days. We were able to catch the last day of the Viking Festival near Reykjavik. I actually liked Akureyri more, city wise.
    Pakkhus in Hofn was by far the best restaurant we ate at. It's quiet expensive but had the best lamb my wife has ever had in her life. Kaffi Loki (Reykjavik) is also a good spot for "sampler" plates to get somethings like fermented shark, plokkfiskur, etc. to try. It's right in front of the big church. Was pretty funny though to see a Costco and able to get in with our US Costco membership.

      This is my plan too, rent a car and to the ring road and stay in AirBnB. How’d that go for y’all?

    • @BlackOmegaWorks
      @BlackOmegaWorks Год назад

      @@srcmedic went pretty well. Rented our car from Sixt which there's a bus that stops at the various car rental places next to the airport.
      We did the ring road counter clock wise because we wanted to hit the Blue Lagoon first, and figured the traffic would be easier, which it was.

    Great advice and good to see you back.
    Re: alcohol. I visited in March and found the cheapest way to drink was to buy duty-free alcohol at the airport and exploit the happy hour offers bars in Reykjavik have during the day. Beer was half the price before 8 pm than after 8 pm and very affordable (750-1000 ISK). I know this advice makes me sound like an alcoholic, but oh well, it was a holiday.

    Watching this video made me want to immediately come to Iceland!
    You mentioned alcohol, but didn't warn about driving under the influence. Is it very strict and expensive to get a ticket for that in Iceland?
    Also, winter clothing. I remember a recent comment on a Svalbard page, asking if there would be a way to rent winter clothing while visiting, since some people have no use for such clothing at home. Does winter gear rental exist in Iceland?
    So nice to see you back here. I love what I learn from your videos. 💗

    • @martdejager3102
      @martdejager3102 Год назад +1

      From what I know there are hefty fines for driving under the influence. But that goes with a lot of traffic violations in general in Iceland to my knowledge, especially when you consider road conditions in the winter, since then it can already be very dangerous to drive at all (I have been in the north in the winter and it can be very tricky when there has been a lot of snow). There are probably places where you can rent equipment or clothing, but I would suggest buying honestly. It is (likely?) less expensive, and you don't really need a ton of gear. For my two trips I had with me: Crampons, winterboots, 2 sets of thermo clothes (2 leggings and 2 shirts), one pair of snowpants, hiking boots and of course a winter jacket.
