Iceland Tips. Best Places To Go And Sights To See

In this video I reveal the 10 best and unmissable sights in the increasingly popular destination of Iceland. I explore areas like the "Golden Circle", "Jewels of the North" and "Pompeii of the North. I show you the best waterfalls, geysers, animals, thermal activity and landscapes to see. I also explore why a cruise may be the best way of getting around the challenges and limitations of getting around Iceland and to these sights. They are all accessed through a fe key gateways. I also explain why if you go to Iceland on a cruising vacation it needs to be a specific type of ship and cruise line.

Note: I travelled as a guest of Voyages to Antiquity on a cruise to Iceland before making this video but still give my honest thoughts as I know you would expect no less.

Nice video, been to many places in the video and Iceland is truly magical

[lovecruisin]

This video was amazing. You answered so many of my questions about cruising around Iceland. Thank you for such concise information. I have longed to visit Thingvellir National Park and walk the rift valley! I booked a cruise for May 2022! Hopefully everything will be open.

Thanks for the outline. We are going on a cruise June 6th 2023 and hitting Lake Myvain, Artic foxes and the Golden Circle. Again thanks for a marvelous view of Iceland before we go.😃

Have been there by air and sea and it's magnificent. This video has the things any traveller would not want to miss. Friendly people, great scenery and no tipping!

Another great video, kind sir. No plans yet to go there, but thanks to this video, it’s now on our “bucket list”. Boy you do get around. Please keep these videos coming. Been a subscriber for a while now.

I may never get to all the places you do, but really enjoy the videos. They're sort of a personalized version of Travel Channel. Thanks!

[MrRamyon]

Another great video, Iceland is definitely on the bucket list now!

Thanks again for a great video. My partner and I were recently in Iceland with a few friends. It's so beautiful! We ended up renting an SUV and driving around the island for over a week, spending no more than 2 nights in any one spot. It was a little exhausting, as we spent a great deal of time driving from one spot on the coast to another. However, the views were jaw-dropping even just while driving between the main attractions. I want to go back, and you make a great case for doing it on a cruise next time. Take care :)

I went to Iceland with Titan holidays. Saw every thing on the Golden Circle tour Brilliant!

Well, we missed three of your ten while were there... guess we'll have to go back! I'd second the idea of a small cruise ship being ideal to visit the highlights... but... driving one of the mountain routes from the south to north (or vice versa!) will let you see some magnificent scenery.

And yes... the weather can be a challenge... we were there in late July/early August. Most of the days it never got above 14C and it rained for 12 of 15 days we were there.

I love you, I really do - but the Arctic Fox is not the only "indigenous animal" on Iceland (they don't eat plants, so what did they eat?) - rather they are the only indigenous land mammal on Iceland - they certainly have had other non-mammalian animals to consume :) Love your videos!!!

Just found your channel! Subscribed right away! Your videos are VERY helpful and concise. Just got back from Iceland this past May. We missed a lot of things, despite our research, and I’d love to go back. Cruising sounds like a great option! 👍🏼💗

[georgew.]

Excellent video, thank you. We are scheduled to visit Iceland later this summer. After watching, I now have some better ideas what to do and where. Is the weather always as good as the videos showed?

[wccfgene]

Gary, Great site for cruise tips! My wife and I are sailing from Copenhagen to Boston in July on Holland America. Itinerary includes Norway, Iceland, Greenland, etc. It's an 18 day cruise, what should we pack for clothes? Thanks in advance.

[edcornwell]

I was driving my black cab I called out but you had earphones on
Never mind I enjoy your videos

[suzettecalleja]

I have been to Iceland, I like this option of seeing Iceland. You don't mention the excursions to see those sites, do they come with the cruises? I always look forward to seeing your videos. Thank you

Iceland air gives free layover time if you want to stop and explore Iceland on way to Europe or on return. No charge for extending the layover apparently. Don't quote me on this, check for yourself. I just thought it was a great idea.

[mereiriz]

I’m afraid that if I go to Iceland on a cruise, I won’t have enough time in each port to do and see the things I really want to. But I’m having great difficulty finding accommodations to do it by land. Do you think a cruise is really a good idea and gives you enough time? Won’t I need to be running around and doing everything fast so that I can come back in time to the ship? 😅
