"I'm over it." My sentiments exactly. I'm currently stationed in Germany and I'm not allowed to travel outside the country until June 30, but I'm going to see more of the country until then. I visited Portugal before this pandemic started and I've been obsessed with Portugal since then. I didn't join the army to sit in the barracks and Iceland is on my bucket list too.
Jeannie I'm so sad..... I was supposed to fly to Iceland this Sunday. I had a whole 10 day itinerary planned. I wanted to see it all. The waterfalls, the geysers, the whales, the horses, the astounding sights. Thank you for making this video. Please if you get the chance to make more. You will get some of the best shots of these places right now. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I'm going to keep dreaming.
Awww Laura I am so sad for you! I know it must be so disappointing to have this big trip and not have it go through. Hopefully you can reschedule? Iceland will be waiting for you when this all calms down!
Thanks Jeannie for sharing your unique experience in this difficult time. I can tell from your look and voice that you honestly enjoy the less crowded places. I have a flight to Iceland to 4th July, still a few days ago I was sure it is going to be cancelled, but things change so fast these days. I hope I can still travel and I hope tourists will be welcome by then 😌
I am in a similar position to you. But now I understand The Iceland Authorities have changed their view and will not accept COVID19 tests from tourists in their own country before departing. I understand that everyone will now have to take the risk of a test at Keflavik Airport and Isolating at a designated locationin Iceland if the test is positive, (instead of at home). Iceland knows very well that people can be asymptomatic, and I am trying to get information from The authorities about how much it will cost, and what happens with payment for accommodation booked ,cars hired, and flight changes required if you are unlucky enough to have to quarantine or isolate. Who will be required to foot the bill. Maybe a big financial risk to take even if flights actually operate.
Thanks so much for sharing this video! I took a Golden Circle road trip with Ohio State alumni back in 2018 and it was wonderful to relive those beautiful locales through your footage - brought tears! Take care and stay safe. 💕😊
Iceland was like this when I first came 15 years ago... I pray everyday to be able to come back in July as planned. It we can't, I'll watch your videos over and over and I will cry...
Thanks Jeannie. We left Iceland on March 13 and yes it was cold and blustery! Thanks for showing us the route on a lovely day. Will be back soon, I hope 😉👍🇨🇦🇮🇸
We’re so fortunate that we visited over Thanksgiving, obviously unaware of what 2020 would hold. Thank you for posting! Brings back incredible memories 😊
It was about the same in July. My husband and I visited soon after the borders reopened and the number of tourists at popular spots was still quite low.
Hey, glad to see that you are still in Iceland! A 6-week quarantine indicates that you traveled somewhere "unsafe", came back to a mandatory 2-week quarantine and somehow managed to repeat that 2 more times. A spectacular track record! The next 12-18 months will represent life up-ended for most of us, most of it bad, but quite a lot of it will eventually turn out to be a benefit, if only by slowing down the frantic race-to-the-bottom pace of the last 10 years. NOW is our chance (the locals and everyone that chose to stay in Iceland recently) to experience places in Southern Iceland we have reluctantly chosen to stay away from for a decade. This summer will be OURS! Make no mistake, once the global wheels of commerce start spinning again, tourism will resume - but hopefully at a more reasonable pace. Personally, I am looking forward to a leisurely visit to places I have only seen from the air in the last 2 decades (I'm a retired Ernir Air pilot) and to revisit places I have not seen close up for over 2 decades. Moreover, I suspect that the tent can be left behind. With hotel room supply far exceeding demand, reservations will not be needed this summer and prices will have to be fairly reasonable.
I've been running into a lot of locals at sights on the Golden Circle and South coast that said the same thing you are saying! Happy to see Icelanders touring their beautiful land 😊
Thanks for another great video! Glad to see you are safe and well. Iceland is such a beautiful country. I proposed to my "now wife" at Kirkjufell in March 2019 when everything was covered in snow! We cannot wait to visit the country again, but this time, a summer trip. :) Take care!
We should have been there for our honeymoon at the moment, would have been halfway along the south coast today as part of our ring road trip. Mind you, our wedding got cancelled too so both to look forward to, again!
Wow, was there in late January before all this started, looks like a different world, but never thought I'd see it like this....great video, do more if you can!
Glad to see your smiling face Jeanie and glad you’re safe and well. I bet it’s a lovely change with no tourists around. I’m booked to visit Iceland 🇮🇸 for my 3rd visit in November. Hoping Travel is allowed by then 🤞🏻 Until then will keep an eye out for your great vlogs ❤️
Another great video, glad you're safe. Keep the videos coming as best you can. I'm a geologist and a landrover fan so its been a long term ambition to come over from the UK with the Defender! Keep safe though, feel your frustration, we're still stuck to local trips here in the UK and I've not driven more than 5 miles in two months now, but its for the greater good, hopefully a much better world will come out of this, in the meantime I'm saving a fortune on diesel!
Wind in Iceland?? :) We were there early December 2018, was sort of warm and actually had rained a bit, the observation platform......we were almost blown off of! That was pretty hilarious. It's a really neat park there, been twice.
We are all so over it! We made it to Iceland the first 2 weeks of March and got on a plane home to the US literally the night before the US went on full lockdown! It’s crazy how different everything looks with no tourists and no snow. I must say, the snow definitely adds some magic 💙
We were to be on a group tour for the first two weeks of July 2020. I’m really bummed out that it has been canceled 😥 I have watched all your videos for the past ten months and enjoyed every one. Maybe next year.
Wow that is so cool! Makes me want to get back to Iceland this summer and experience it without crowds. Hope it will be possible flying from Denmark :)
This is a reply to Jeannie, and for anyone else interested. Thank you for your excellent videos. Glad you can now enjoy the sights uncrowded. I am a subscriber and appreciate your practical information. I now would be interested in an ex-pat's view of the situation, as I feel would your subscribers. I plan a trip to Iceland next month (July), and have been looking forward to it for many months. However, in the last days I am concerned about the risk. Not of the virus. But of having to quarantine instead of enjoy my holiday, and possible have the additional expense of a change of flight back home. 2 things have worried me particularly. Number 1.. It seemed that Iceland were going to let people test for COVID19 before departure from the home airport. This was fine. I would happily do this and if I or my companions tested positive (while asymptomatic as frequently happens) we could quarantine at home and not waste time or money. Now the authorities have decided only to accept testing on arrival in Iceland. So you must fly to Iceland risking being told you and your party have to quarantine/ isolate soon after you arrive. They will accommodate you without cost, but you have already wasted the flight, accommodation etc.that you have paid for. Also it seems according to the documentation, testing negative does not mean you will not be subsequently required to go into quarantine if for example it is found you were close to someone on your flight who tested positive. Iceland is to be respected for having done a remarkable job defeating the virus. Test and trace and quarantine has, and is being applied with great success. But here is my worry number 2. Currently, according to the website, whilst there are only 3 persons in isolation, (showing the symptoms or having tested positive) there are 812 persons currently in quarantine. A big number for just 3 sick. This points to a real enthusiasm to stop the spread. But, whilst quarantine for a resident may be inconvenient, it is probably not a disaster. Perhaps you can work from home, keep yourself busy doing household repairs etc. For a tourist quarantine is a totally different matter. It destroys the whole purpose of you visit. You will wish you never went! So I am concerned that the Tourist and Health authorities may not appreciate this all from the tourists point of view. You cannot expect to keep the rigorous clamp down on people who just may have been close to an infected person, but probably are not infected. Much of the EU which currently has closed borders will be opening up. Greece for example also did a wonderful job controlling the virus. They are heavily dependant on tourism. Switzerland also has very low infection rates. There is trepidation, but after lock down, these places realise they must open up, keeping everything as safe as possible. People realise infection rates will rise, but otherwise whole industries will collapse. Iceland has done a wonderful job. And now that the tourist main season is coming they want the tourists, they want Icelandair to get off the ground, but it seems they want the tourists to take all of the risks. I hope they quickly re-assess the possibilities of testing, at least in the 11 cities that Icelandair plans to fly from this summer. Munich, Zurich, for example and other major cities ,are perfectly capable of testing for the virus and even though there is not a globally accepted testing certification that would be the ideal solution for the Cheif Icelandic Epidemiologist, we must all accept that this is not an ideal situation for anyone and we need to be flexible. This is my view and I am happy to receive comments, feedback and criticism from anyone.
It's been said before, but this definitely reminds me of Iceland from 10 years ago. Hate to say it, but I doubt these places will ever be this unspoiled again. I don't know how severe the social distancing protocols in Iceland are, but if I were there right now, I'd buy/rent a 4K drone and start filming every single place I could, for my own enjoyment if nothing else. Feel free to upload it all to youtube if you do something like this though!
Great video - made the same trip a fortnight ago. Think perhaps the last tourist still in Iceland! Then did South Coast last week. Social distancing at its best...
Hello 👋 😁 I know this question is off point for this video but is hardwired internet available at people’s homes 🏡 in Iceland? DSL, Cable, Fiber Optic? Thank you so much for your channel. 😊🏂
Jeannie, I need your suggestion. My daughter and I are planning to visit in July. Is it possible to do the Golden Circle and South Coast in (a rather long) day? If we are to only do part of the Golden Circle and part of the South Coast to economize on time, what would you recommend? Thank you.
We are heading to Iceland in March next year. How busy do you think it will be with tourists? We see ourselves as travellers, and want to get the best experience we can. I’ve seen other videos where it’s swarming with visitors which isn’t really our thing. We only have a guide if we really need one for safety etc. We love doing things to our own timetable. Any suggestions?
Hi! Just discovered your channel! Love it so far and still have to catch up. I was just wondering how do you actually travel to Iceland? For instance, all I own is a normal passport? Is that all I need to enter Iceland? And I’m in the United States? Do I have to connect in another country to get to Iceland? You might have videos that cover this and if you do please let me know. Thinking of taking a trip. And it would be the first time I’ve ever flown or left the US so a little nervous!
Hi, thanks for the share Anyway i plan to hunt for aurora this october, which d u recommend, hunting using tour guide or by myself.. If by myself, do u have any recpmmended place for aurora hunting? Thanks
Have you heard anything about a travel ban to Iceland from the US? I read a ban will be lifted May 15. I have a trip to Iceland planned for June 12 and wanted to know if you've heard anything. Thank you! I love your videos! I learn a lot.
OMG I’m Just waiting to get there 🙁 , for nature lovers it’s amazing !! Any one Can help me to know about any agencys there for 8-9 day tours for a SOLO trip ? 🙏🏼
Thank's for your videos throughout the year's. :) But since it looks out that you might have been in a quarantine for some time. I'd like to wish you a good health. :) It was interesting to see your video with Iceland without tourists. Well this is how we Icelanders was used to see our country before this tourist boom started. And since I noticed you as a cheerful person in your video was celebrating, at last we here in Iceland could have our country for our self. Then this question flashed up in my mind. Shouldn't we, and you included as a future Icelander, learn from our past mistakes, and avoid to make our country overcrowded with tourists again. ?? :)
You bring up a good point! I'm not the one that should be making those decisions, but I am so glad to see locals traveling around their beautiful country right now. Stay healthy Snæbjörn and thanks for watching!
Very depressing, had to cancel our trip for July. Not sure travel will ever open up again it seems... politics in America is going to keep us locked down for most of the year. No end in site. 🙁. We were there last year, had planned to come again and spend more time. I loved seeing all the people, didn’t bother us at all. Perhaps we can come in 2021, we’ll see, if so, I hope there’s people everywhere.
@@IcelandwithaView Hi Jeannie, I'm sure we will make it in 21, that's certainly our plan. My wife and I were there last July for our 35 anniversary and we loved it so much that we just have to come back. I want to thank you for your planning course, I'm a student of yours and it was extremely helpful and super enjoyable. I call it the "happy course". Anyway, love your videos and can't wait to be in Iceland again.
How can the Icelandic economy survive if you don't open to tourism this summer? It's smart to be safe but ruining an economy and people's lively hood is just as bad.

Oh, these are breathtaking. I loved seeing all of these sites that we saw last October!! Thank you for sharing this. We long to return.
"I'm over it."
My sentiments exactly. I'm currently stationed in Germany and I'm not allowed to travel outside the country until June 30, but I'm going to see more of the country until then. I visited Portugal before this pandemic started and I've been obsessed with Portugal since then. I didn't join the army to sit in the barracks and Iceland is on my bucket list too.
Dang it, I feel your pain! Hoping we can all go back to normal soon and you can have your trips!
Pro tip : watch movies at flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Wallace Torin yup, been using Flixzone for months myself :)
Thanks for allowing us to vicariously retrace our steps and to re-intensify the dream to return!
Yay, so happy to help! Hope to see you in Iceland soon 😊

I wanna go back
Thank you for showing these wonderful places! I have been there in Summer 2017 and I must say I think it wasn't too crowded at all.
Tourism numbers have been increasing every year but I'm glad to hear you had a great experience :)

Thanks Jeannie. We left Iceland on March 13 and yes it was cold and blustery! Thanks for showing us the route on a lovely day. Will be back soon, I hope 😉👍🇨🇦🇮🇸
I'm glad you got to experience it right before everything changed! Thanks for your support, Lisa 😊

Happy to be able to show everyone what Iceland is looking like right now - thanks for your support!

Wow such lucky timing! I do love winter in Iceland - pure magic :)
Wow, incredible to see it like this, thank you.
So weird seeing those places so dead…less than a year ago when I was there at the height of summer, it was PACKED at all the places you showed.
100% I've been there during those times too! It was very strange being at these places without fighting hundreds of people for a view.
We were to be on a group tour for the first two weeks of July 2020. I’m really bummed out that it has been canceled 😥 I have watched all your videos for the past ten months and enjoyed every one. Maybe next year.
