Iceland, a country of fire and ice with a myriad of landscapes. But you’ll notice something more than the amazing nature when you drive around Iceland, well, you have to notice it. “Sorry, the car you were going to rent was damaged, so...
I have many positive and unique experiences in Iceland, and I’m very fond of this country! I was impressed by it before going, and after the trip I’m even more impressed and wishing to go back! So if cost is an issue for you, a 14-day...
Svinafelljukul is a special glacier that looks almost like a surface of another planet. Interestingly, this is where the movie ‘Interstellar‘ shot Dr.Mann’s planet! The site might be a bit neglected by tourists as two other...
Travel Date：2015/6/20 Location：Reykjavik-Snæfellsjökull National Park-Olafsvik Besides Jokulsarlon Lagoon and the Golden Circle, the under-rated Snæfellsjökull National Park is a place I’d recommend if you have time. It’s within...
Not many people would compare Iceland with Tasmania. Most people call Tasmania a mini-Australia while comparing Iceland with New Zealand. True, there isn’t glacier in Tasmania. However both trips to Tasmania and Iceland gave me surprises in nature...
If you are planning your holiday in Iceland, here is a reference for you to budget your trip. We went as 4 people in high season in 2015, and we were there for 14 days (13 nights). We went couchsurfing in Reykjavik and camping for the rest of...

After visiting the attractions around Myvatn yesterday and Husavik in the morning, I continued my second part of the journey in diamond circle. I’d say my highlight of diamond circle is Dettifoss, as this powerful and wonderful...
Husavik Husavik is a famous place for spotting whales, and it’s a place where you might see blue whales! It’s a beautiful fishing town by its own merit. Eventually I opted for a whale watching tour in Dalvik!). While I thought...
This is not an important part of my trip, however I’d like to share it with people who are looking for stops driving between Hvammstangi (the seal colony) and Akureyri (the second biggest city in Iceland). These stops are Þingeyrar...
I think I found the cheapest horse riding tour in Iceland. But I don’t know if I should recommend it. It was not a bad trip, and the scenary was fantastic, but I guess the weather was really cold and I didn’t see seals as close as I...
One thing really surprised me was the role of church in Iceland. Almost by default, you’d find a church in a town, despite how many it is. And sometimes even in the middle of nowhere, the only building you’ve seen other than a...
To see a puffin this close, you actually don’t need to get on a special tour. Simply head to Látrabjarg Bird Cliff, which is about 1.5 hours drive from Talknafjordur campsite. It is a bit far from everything however well worth the trip. Not...
Hvammstangi is the place where you can see seals! Although it takes some effort to get there. When you are in Hvammstangi, continue the road you came in towards Vatnses for 20 km. There is no other road towards Vatnses. And you are ready to park...
