At a Glance<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nIceland, a little, volcanic paradise in the North Atlantic is a place like no other. Tales of fairies and imps told over a campfire as the Northern Lights dance overhead bring a magic to the frigid tundra of the island. Enjoy the company of friendly locals in Reykjavik, sampling local foods and beer, or zen out in the volcanic hot springs, forgetting your only a few degrees south of the Arctic circle. This unique, ecological haven is a must visit for any nature lovers or those looking for an escape from the mania of mainland Europe.<\/div>\n\n\n\nIceland Quick Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
Currency:<\/strong> Icelandic Kronur (ISK)<\/p>\nElectricity Socket:<\/strong> 230V AC electricity. Power outlets are usually two-prong round sockets. To avoid the hassle of having to buy new adaptors for everywhere you go, we recommend picking up a Universal Travel Adaptor<\/strong><\/a> before you leave.<\/p>\nVisa:<\/strong> Iceland is a member of the Schengen Agreement but not the European Union. They offer Visa-free to travel to all EU countries including those, not in the Schengen, and Schengen approved countries such as most of the Americas, Australia, and NZ for 90 days. Nationals from other countries such as Russia Asian Citizens and South Africa need to apply for a Schengen Visa before traveling to Iceland.<\/p>\nSafety:<\/strong> Iceland is widely considered one of the safest countries in the world. Crime rates and the terror threat are incredibly low. Iceland is an active geothermal island with glaciers, volcanoes and rough seas so care must be taken and professional advice sought when exploring is rugged terrain but if the natural environment is respected, you are in safe hands.<\/div>\n\n\nIf you are planning on driving a car in Iceland as well as do some outdoor activities, we recommend you get travel insurance. Our top recommendation is Safety Wing<\/strong><\/a> as it offers great coverage and affordable monthly plans.<\/p>\nLanguage:<\/strong> Icelandic is the official language and can be very difficult. Fortunately, as with most Scandinavian countries, English is spoken widely and often very well. Be prepared with a few Icelandic phrases to win the locals over but they will be more than happy to help if they can.<\/p>\nTransportation:<\/strong> Iceland is one of those places where you will need your own form of transportation due to the vast ruggedness of the entire place. This is why campervan rentals or car rentals are so popular in the region. Due to the high cost of living, renting a campervan also allows you to save money on accommodation. The road conditions are pretty safe, however, it is advised that you don’t go off-roading in the F Roads, especially during the winter season. The weather also dictates a lot of road safety precautions so make sure you head local warnings. Not to worry though because Iceland’s road safety is excellent, with tons of websites or apps to help you monitor the situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nIceland Trip Planning<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\nBest Time to Go<\/h3>\n
It is best to visit Iceland between May and September as the weather isn\u2019t limiting, meaning that all mountain roads will be accessible and there will be more daylight than darkness. Best Time to Go: June to August (All of Iceland) However, we went during November and although it was cold, it was 100% worth it! Plus, seeing the place covered in snow was absolutely magical.<\/p>\n
In a nutshell, the weather in Iceland can be broken down into three seasons:<\/p>\n
\n- Low Season (Oct-Apr)<\/strong> – heavy snow means some mountain roads might be closed as well as some minor roads. Although winter activities are still on offer, there are only brief spurts of daylight with long nights. This wasn’t too much of an issue but daily weather vigilance was necessary.<\/li>\n
- Mid Seasons (May & Sep)<\/strong> – occasional snow means that mountain roads can be closed, but this is the optimal time to visit to avoid tourist crowds.<\/li>\n
- High Season (Jun-Aug)<\/strong> – ideal weather and endless daylight comes with tourist crowds, higher prices and the need for pre-bookings so make sure you keep this in mind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Rough Budget<\/strong><\/h3>\nIceland is one of the most expensive places in Europe so budget travelers need to beware. However, as in every country, you can travel around for as cheap or as expensive as you want. If you\u2019re on a tight budget, you can travel Iceland for about $100-200 a day with accommodation usually being your largest expense, and this is a budget that caters for hostel stays, cooking most of your own meals, and using local transportation. You can also opt to travel with a car (or a campervan) which will help save some money on accommodation. For a guide to different types of travel, here is a rough break down of costs:<\/p>\n

What to Pack for Traveling Iceland<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFor Iceland, you will need lots of layers because it\u2019s seriously cold! Seriously, however cold you think it is, it\u2019s colder. Make sure to bring lots of thin items that you can layer, preferably thermals that are breathable, as you can add or remove layers to regulate your temperature as needed. When it comes to cold weather, we recommend Merino Wool thermals <\/strong><\/a> and a good down jacket<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInvesting in high-quality stuff is worth it as they will also last you for ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Iceland isn’t necessarily a skiing destination, take a look at our ski packing list<\/strong><\/a> for a detailed account into what to wear for cold climate. Other gear articles that will help would be our guide to choosing the best packable down jacket<\/strong><\/a>, thermal underwear<\/strong><\/a>, and winter boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor a complete guide on what to pack for Europe, check out our full article.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nBest Things to Do in Iceland<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nAbsorb the Unique Atmosphere of Reykjavik<\/h3>\n
Although a relatively small city, Reykjavik compensates for its size with its vibrant and trendy atmosphere. Full of hip cafes, bustling pubs and high-energy clubs, you can be sure that you\u2019ll find plenty of things to do in Reykjavik<\/strong><\/a> during your time in Iceland.<\/p>\nAs well as great vibes during the day and an epic party life at night, Reykjavik also boasts a charming mixture of old town architecture with a modern and innovative twist.<\/p>\n
Iceland is a great lover of design and technology, so although you\u2019re surrounded by stunning natural beauty, you\u2019re never out of touch in this incredible city. From the airport, you can save money and take this shuttle<\/strong> <\/a>to Reykjavik center. It is cheaper if you pre-book it online!<\/p>\nDrive a Camper Van around the Ring Road<\/h2>\n
If you are heading to Iceland, chances are you are planning to either drive around in a car or in a campervan. After completing an epic 10 days in Iceland, I have to say it is one of the BEST things we have ever done.<\/p>\n
Although there are tons of campervan rentals in Iceland<\/strong><\/a>, we highly recommend the guys from Camp Easy. They made our entire trip so easy and hassle free. Our van, Foxy brought us to some incredible places and definitely added to the charm of exploring Iceland’s rugged destinations.<\/p>\nCamp Easy has heaps of different campervans, ranging from 2 person to 5 person vans, making it ideal for family travel.

<\/p>\nHike around the Golden Circle Route<\/h3>\n
A popular tourist hiking trail in Iceland, the Golden Circle Route covers around 300km in the highlands, stretching from Reykjavik to the Southern uplands and back. A perfect activity for hiking enthusiasts, this trail also covers the area where most major attractions and activities are, such as the Keri\u00f0 volcano crater, Hverager\u00f0i greenhouse village, and the Hellishei\u00f0i geothermal power plant.<\/p>\n
One of the most incredible experiences on this route has to be standing at the rift zone on the edge of the North American Plate and looking out towards the Eurasian Plate rift in the distance, and it is definitely something that you have to experience for yourself!<\/p>\n
You can opt to do this yourself if you’re traveling by camper van but you can also easily just go on a Golden Circle day tour<\/strong><\/a> which takes you to the best of Iceland’s waterfalls, lakes, and geysers<\/p>\nBathe in the Many Hot Springs<\/h3>\n
The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa<\/strong><\/a> is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland and it\u2019s no surprise why. This huge, milky-blue spa is a sight to behold, not to mention incredibly relaxing even with the masses of people around you.<\/p>\nWith nothing comparing to this experience anywhere else in the world, the Blue Lagoon should be at the top of your list when heading to Iceland. Located in a lava field in Grindav\u00edk, head to Southwestern point and bathe until your heart\u2019s content! Swimming in the Blue Lagoon is definitely part of our Iceland bucket list<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\nIf you want to avoid the crowds, you can also head to Secret Lagoon<\/strong> <\/a>as it is far less low key. Other places like the Myvtn Baths were also well recommended!<\/p>\n![\"Iceland](\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Iceland-reykjavik.jpg\")

Snorkel in Between Continents<\/h3>\n
If you’re looking to tick off something in your bucket list- we recommend snorkeling in the Silfra Fissure. This has hands down been one of the best things that we have done and is an experience we will never forget!<\/p>\n

Feast Your Eyes on Gullfoss, Dettifoss, and Skogafoss<\/h3>\n
The waterfalls in Iceland are a must-see wherever you are in the country as there is nothing quite like seeing tons of water cascading down mountains, surrounded by the majestic beauty that only Iceland can provide. Although all the waterfalls are epic in their own right, there are a few key beauties that you should venture to.<\/p>\n
If you don’t have your own transport, don’t fret are there are plenty of awesome waterfall day tours<\/strong> <\/a>that take you to the best locations. This particular one is very highly rated as it takes you to the best of the waterfalls in the South Island.<\/p>\nIf you\u2019re looking for the biggest and baddest, Gullfoss can be found in the Golden Circle and is a force of nature to behold! For the most powerful waterfall in Europe, feast your eyes on Dettifoss.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking for a unique sight, Skogafoss is created directly from two glaciers, Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull – you\u2019re welcome!<\/p>\n
Go Whale Watching<\/h3>\n
While in Iceland, why not see the amazing sight of their sea creatures launching themselves in and out of the freezing waters? Although an expensive activity, this is one of the best places to go whale watching, with over 20 different species just waiting to be spotted in the depths.<\/p>\n
With dolphins and harbor porpoises being frequently seen, nothing compares to the great whales that you can glimpse around the island! Most tours leave from Reykjavik in the South or Akureyri in the North so it\u2019s best to book on beforehand. This whale watching tour<\/strong><\/a> is one of the most highly rated one so make sure you book ahead of time.<\/p>\nVisit the Maelifell Volcano in Myrdalsj\u00f6kull Glacier Park<\/h3>\n
For a journey to another world (or at least it feels like it), pay a visit to Mount Maelifell, a cone volcano formed by eruptions underneath the Myrdalsj\u00f6kull Glacier.<\/p>\n
Standing at 200 meters above sea level, you can enjoy this unique sight covered in green moss during the warm season. It is a truly spectacular sight, surrounded by other impressive volcanoes and natural hot springs dotted with beautiful Icelandic nature. Apart from this glacier park, there are tons of other activities like this 3-hour glacier hike in Skaftafell National Park<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nDiscover and Explore the Skaftafell Ice Cave<\/h3>\n
You can\u2019t leave Iceland without seeing some of its most popular natural landscapes. One of the most dramatic has to be Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park, where all you can see for miles around you is towering glaciers covered in ice and snow.<\/p>\n
Aptly named the land of ice, this majestic scene is full of impressive ice caves just waiting to be discovered. One of our favorites? The Skaftafell Ice Cave. Go and you\u2019ll see why! This 3-hour glacier hike in Skaftafell National Park<\/strong><\/a> is one of the best ways to see the attraction in my opinion.<\/p>\n![\"iceland](\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/iceland-cave.jpg\")

It\u2019s no wonder really, as this island has been isolated for most of its history, so make sure you try some of its most popular dishes when you go!<\/p>\n
Similar to most things, food is pretty expensive in Iceland which is why a lot of people tend to shop in groceries then cook their own meals in hostels or in their campervans. However, if you\u2019re only in Iceland for a short amount of time, here are a few dishes that you need to try:<\/p>\n
Skyr<\/h3>\n
Similar to Greek yogurt but technically a cheese, this high protein and low-fat delicacy is often enjoyed with milk and some fruit. You will find this anywhere in Iceland and sometimes in smoothie form. Either way, it\u2019s delicious!<\/p>\n
Icelandic Fish<\/h3>\n
Obviously, you can\u2019t avoid eating fish in a country that is surrounded by water! Iceland has a great variety of fish available, all cooked in as many different ways as you can think of. The best part? They are all normally caught that morning!<\/p>\n
Lamb Soup<\/h3>\n
An Icelandic delicacy, lamb soup is a warm broth-based dish, packed full of flavor with potatoes and root vegetables. As well as it being the perfect meal for the chilly weather, it is also just downright tasty!<\/p>\n
Pylsur<\/h3>\n
Surprisingly, Icelandic hot dogs are a revered tradition and are a favorite among the locals. Made with both lamb and pork to create rich and flavorful dogs, pair yours with crunchy deep-fried onions, sweet brown mustard or ketchup and tuck in! Just expect long lines as it\u2019s a popular choice!<\/p>\n![\"iceland](\"https:\/\/www.adventureinyou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/iceland-food.jpg\")

Check out our full review here of our snorkeling experience in Iceland<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nFeast Your Eyes on Gullfoss, Dettifoss, and Skogafoss<\/h3>\n
The waterfalls in Iceland are a must-see wherever you are in the country as there is nothing quite like seeing tons of water cascading down mountains, surrounded by the majestic beauty that only Iceland can provide. Although all the waterfalls are epic in their own right, there are a few key beauties that you should venture to.<\/p>\n
If you don’t have your own transport, don’t fret are there are plenty of awesome waterfall day tours<\/strong> <\/a>that take you to the best locations. This particular one is very highly rated as it takes you to the best of the waterfalls in the South Island.<\/p>\nIf you\u2019re looking for the biggest and baddest, Gullfoss can be found in the Golden Circle and is a force of nature to behold! For the most powerful waterfall in Europe, feast your eyes on Dettifoss.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking for a unique sight, Skogafoss is created directly from two glaciers, Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull – you\u2019re welcome!<\/p>\n
Go Whale Watching<\/h3>\n
While in Iceland, why not see the amazing sight of their sea creatures launching themselves in and out of the freezing waters? Although an expensive activity, this is one of the best places to go whale watching, with over 20 different species just waiting to be spotted in the depths.<\/p>\n
With dolphins and harbor porpoises being frequently seen, nothing compares to the great whales that you can glimpse around the island! Most tours leave from Reykjavik in the South or Akureyri in the North so it\u2019s best to book on beforehand. This whale watching tour<\/strong><\/a> is one of the most highly rated one so make sure you book ahead of time.<\/p>\nVisit the Maelifell Volcano in Myrdalsj\u00f6kull Glacier Park<\/h3>\n
For a journey to another world (or at least it feels like it), pay a visit to Mount Maelifell, a cone volcano formed by eruptions underneath the Myrdalsj\u00f6kull Glacier.<\/p>\n
Standing at 200 meters above sea level, you can enjoy this unique sight covered in green moss during the warm season. It is a truly spectacular sight, surrounded by other impressive volcanoes and natural hot springs dotted with beautiful Icelandic nature. Apart from this glacier park, there are tons of other activities like this 3-hour glacier hike in Skaftafell National Park<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nDiscover and Explore the Skaftafell Ice Cave<\/h3>\n
You can\u2019t leave Iceland without seeing some of its most popular natural landscapes. One of the most dramatic has to be Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park, where all you can see for miles around you is towering glaciers covered in ice and snow.<\/p>\n
Aptly named the land of ice, this majestic scene is full of impressive ice caves just waiting to be discovered. One of our favorites? The Skaftafell Ice Cave. Go and you\u2019ll see why! This 3-hour glacier hike in Skaftafell National Park<\/strong><\/a> is one of the best ways to see the attraction in my opinion.<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/p>\n
\n\nTours Around Iceland<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\nIf you prefer traveling with a group tour, we highly recommend G Adventures<\/strong><\/a>. They are a super reputable company and have been running tours around Europe for ages.

They have adventure tours, tours for 18-30 year olds, and even tours that take you all over Europe, allowing you to explore a little bit of everything.<\/p>\nIf traveling by yourself isn’t your jam, check out the variety of tours that G Adventures has and the details and dates of each trip.

It\u2019s no wonder really, as this island has been isolated for most of its history, so make sure you try some of its most popular dishes when you go!<\/p>\n
Similar to most things, food is pretty expensive in Iceland which is why a lot of people tend to shop in groceries then cook their own meals in hostels or in their campervans. However, if you\u2019re only in Iceland for a short amount of time, here are a few dishes that you need to try:<\/p>\n
Skyr<\/h3>\n
Similar to Greek yogurt but technically a cheese, this high protein and low-fat delicacy is often enjoyed with milk and some fruit. You will find this anywhere in Iceland and sometimes in smoothie form. Either way, it\u2019s delicious!<\/p>\n
Icelandic Fish<\/h3>\n
Obviously, you can\u2019t avoid eating fish in a country that is surrounded by water! Iceland has a great variety of fish available, all cooked in as many different ways as you can think of. The best part? They are all normally caught that morning!<\/p>\n
Lamb Soup<\/h3>\n
An Icelandic delicacy, lamb soup is a warm broth-based dish, packed full of flavor with potatoes and root vegetables. As well as it being the perfect meal for the chilly weather, it is also just downright tasty!<\/p>\n
Pylsur<\/h3>\n
Surprisingly, Icelandic hot dogs are a revered tradition and are a favorite among the locals. Made with both lamb and pork to create rich and flavorful dogs, pair yours with crunchy deep-fried onions, sweet brown mustard or ketchup and tuck in! Just expect long lines as it\u2019s a popular choice!<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\nPlaces to Stay in Iceland<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\nThe accommodations in Iceland can get expensive, so make sure to book early and research the best option for you. From camping in their national parks, staying in a hostel, or treating yourself to a fancy hotel, there is definitely no shortage of places to stay in Iceland.<\/p>\n
We definitely recommend booking things in advance as things book out, especially in the summer moths. As Iceland is becoming insanely popular, we recommend checking sites like Booking.com<\/strong><\/a>, Agoda<\/a><\/strong>, or Hostel World<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nTo help you choose out the best places to stay in Iceland, here are our personal suggestions on where to stay.<\/p>\n

His content anywhere in Europe is always so helpful which is why we recommend his Iceland guide when planning.<\/p>\n\n\nIceland Lonely Planet <\/strong><\/a>\n\n\n\nIf you’re looking for another guidebook, the Lonely Planet guide also has heaps of details and insider tips when it comes to mapping out your route.<\/p>\n\n\nThe Little Book of Tourists in Iceland <\/strong><\/a>\n\n\n\n
<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
Electricity Socket:<\/strong> 230V AC electricity. Power outlets are usually two-prong round sockets. To avoid the hassle of having to buy new adaptors for everywhere you go, we recommend picking up a Universal Travel Adaptor<\/strong><\/a> before you leave.<\/p>\n Visa:<\/strong> Iceland is a member of the Schengen Agreement but not the European Union. They offer Visa-free to travel to all EU countries including those, not in the Schengen, and Schengen approved countries such as most of the Americas, Australia, and NZ for 90 days. Nationals from other countries such as Russia Asian Citizens and South Africa need to apply for a Schengen Visa before traveling to Iceland.<\/p>\n Safety:<\/strong> Iceland is widely considered one of the safest countries in the world. Crime rates and the terror threat are incredibly low. Iceland is an active geothermal island with glaciers, volcanoes and rough seas so care must be taken and professional advice sought when exploring is rugged terrain but if the natural environment is respected, you are in safe hands.<\/div>\n\n\n Language:<\/strong> Icelandic is the official language and can be very difficult. Fortunately, as with most Scandinavian countries, English is spoken widely and often very well. Be prepared with a few Icelandic phrases to win the locals over but they will be more than happy to help if they can.<\/p>\n Transportation:<\/strong> Iceland is one of those places where you will need your own form of transportation due to the vast ruggedness of the entire place. This is why campervan rentals or car rentals are so popular in the region. Due to the high cost of living, renting a campervan also allows you to save money on accommodation. The road conditions are pretty safe, however, it is advised that you don’t go off-roading in the F Roads, especially during the winter season. The weather also dictates a lot of road safety precautions so make sure you head local warnings. Not to worry though because Iceland’s road safety is excellent, with tons of websites or apps to help you monitor the situation.<\/p>\n <\/div> It is best to visit Iceland between May and September as the weather isn\u2019t limiting, meaning that all mountain roads will be accessible and there will be more daylight than darkness. Best Time to Go: June to August (All of Iceland) However, we went during November and although it was cold, it was 100% worth it! Plus, seeing the place covered in snow was absolutely magical.<\/p>\n In a nutshell, the weather in Iceland can be broken down into three seasons:<\/p>\n Iceland is one of the most expensive places in Europe so budget travelers need to beware. However, as in every country, you can travel around for as cheap or as expensive as you want. If you\u2019re on a tight budget, you can travel Iceland for about $100-200 a day with accommodation usually being your largest expense, and this is a budget that caters for hostel stays, cooking most of your own meals, and using local transportation. You can also opt to travel with a car (or a campervan) which will help save some money on accommodation. For a guide to different types of travel, here is a rough break down of costs:<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n Budget: kr3,500-7,500 ($30-70) Dorms \/ kr1,200-1,800 ($11-17) Camping Lunch: kr1,500-2,200 ($15-20) Local Bus: kr3.50 (<$1) per journey For Iceland, you will need lots of layers because it\u2019s seriously cold! Seriously, however cold you think it is, it\u2019s colder. Make sure to bring lots of thin items that you can layer, preferably thermals that are breathable, as you can add or remove layers to regulate your temperature as needed. When it comes to cold weather, we recommend Merino Wool thermals <\/strong><\/a> and a good down jacket<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Investing in high-quality stuff is worth it as they will also last you for ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although Iceland isn’t necessarily a skiing destination, take a look at our ski packing list<\/strong><\/a> for a detailed account into what to wear for cold climate. Other gear articles that will help would be our guide to choosing the best packable down jacket<\/strong><\/a>, thermal underwear<\/strong><\/a>, and winter boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a complete guide on what to pack for Europe, check out our full article.<\/p>\n\n\n View Europe Packing List<\/a><\/span> Although a relatively small city, Reykjavik compensates for its size with its vibrant and trendy atmosphere. Full of hip cafes, bustling pubs and high-energy clubs, you can be sure that you\u2019ll find plenty of things to do in Reykjavik<\/strong><\/a> during your time in Iceland.<\/p>\n As well as great vibes during the day and an epic party life at night, Reykjavik also boasts a charming mixture of old town architecture with a modern and innovative twist.<\/p>\n Iceland is a great lover of design and technology, so although you\u2019re surrounded by stunning natural beauty, you\u2019re never out of touch in this incredible city. From the airport, you can save money and take this shuttle<\/strong> <\/a>to Reykjavik center. It is cheaper if you pre-book it online!<\/p>\n If you are heading to Iceland, chances are you are planning to either drive around in a car or in a campervan. After completing an epic 10 days in Iceland, I have to say it is one of the BEST things we have ever done.<\/p>\n Although there are tons of campervan rentals in Iceland<\/strong><\/a>, we highly recommend the guys from Camp Easy. They made our entire trip so easy and hassle free. Our van, Foxy brought us to some incredible places and definitely added to the charm of exploring Iceland’s rugged destinations.<\/p>\n Camp Easy has heaps of different campervans, ranging from 2 person to 5 person vans, making it ideal for family travel. Click the button below to see the different vans they offer.<\/p>\n View Campervans<\/a><\/span> A popular tourist hiking trail in Iceland, the Golden Circle Route covers around 300km in the highlands, stretching from Reykjavik to the Southern uplands and back. A perfect activity for hiking enthusiasts, this trail also covers the area where most major attractions and activities are, such as the Keri\u00f0 volcano crater, Hverager\u00f0i greenhouse village, and the Hellishei\u00f0i geothermal power plant.<\/p>\n One of the most incredible experiences on this route has to be standing at the rift zone on the edge of the North American Plate and looking out towards the Eurasian Plate rift in the distance, and it is definitely something that you have to experience for yourself!<\/p>\n You can opt to do this yourself if you’re traveling by camper van but you can also easily just go on a Golden Circle day tour<\/strong><\/a> which takes you to the best of Iceland’s waterfalls, lakes, and geysers<\/p>\n The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa<\/strong><\/a> is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland and it\u2019s no surprise why. This huge, milky-blue spa is a sight to behold, not to mention incredibly relaxing even with the masses of people around you.<\/p>\n With nothing comparing to this experience anywhere else in the world, the Blue Lagoon should be at the top of your list when heading to Iceland. Located in a lava field in Grindav\u00edk, head to Southwestern point and bathe until your heart\u2019s content! Swimming in the Blue Lagoon is definitely part of our Iceland bucket list<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n If you want to avoid the crowds, you can also head to Secret Lagoon<\/strong> <\/a>as it is far less low key. Other places like the Myvtn Baths were also well recommended!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you’re looking to tick off something in your bucket list- we recommend snorkeling in the Silfra Fissure.
