ICELAND 🇮🇸 10 Day Ring Road Group Trip | Ep 2 - Dettifoss to The Blue Lagoon
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 04. 2022
- In early October, we spent 10 days travelling all the way around Iceland on a group tour.
This was a bespoke tour I organised with Intrepid travel and put on sale to you guys that follow my channel!
15 of us went exploring round Iceland with a local guide, experiencing so many of the country’s highlights.
In the second half of the trip we visit Dettifoss, featured in the film Prometheus. Then we travelled through the geyser strip near Lake Mývatn.
At Akureyri we went on a whale watching boat tour.
Then we continued west to the Snaefellsness Peninsula, where we went horseriding and saw Iceland's most photographed mountain at Kirkjufellsfoss.
Returning to Reykjavik we completed our tour visiting the lava fields of the recently erupted Fagradalsfjall and then relaxing in the Blue Lagoon.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how none of Karl's videos have ads? WOW
This guy deserves his own Netflix original.
And his buddy needs to do the occasional voiceover.
Or narrate any future BBC wildlife documentaries
This group is so contagious. I literally felt like I'm part of it. Here I'm, sitting alone in my room, smiling at all those goofiness. Great stuff there Karl.
Can we just give Laurus the biggest shoutout he was the best! Karl another amazing doc, thanks for sharing such special moments!
This is genuinely good for the soul. It's nice to see people getting along and enjoying each other's company. It's a reminder of a side of us that all of us have: we are social beings, especially in times like this. I always get emotional with the speech at the end and the gratitude you show towards the tour guide. They work so hard and they really have an important role!
I'm planning a trip to Iceland next year and came across this video. You know, we see so much darkness and negativity in the world... how nice it is when we see a video in such a beautiful place, with people peacefully having fun. Your words to the guide were just so cool to watch. Congrats from a Brazilian living in Florida.
I am also another Floridian planning this trip for Dec 2023.
This video made me want to see Iceland. I have booked my trip and will be joining a small group to do the 9 day road trip in November 2023.
Wow!! What a great film on Iceland and a great bunch of people. Just come back from Iceland and to watch this was great. 👍🇮🇸
Great chemistry between you all which made the two videos a joy to watch!
I've watched every video of yours and I'd have to say this is one of the best in my opinion. The footage, edits, the way it flowed, the tour group, voiceovers etc etc.. So so good! Can't wait for the Thailand series.
Thanks very much 😊
There isn’t a vlog that isn’t amazing that Karl does..
Actually, I have never had Iceland in my bucket list but after seeing your vlog, I thought that I have to change my mind 😉. It is really... really nice 👍
There all so good ☺️
It's not the most viewed video so it can't be the best
The real reason these 2 videos are the best is because of all the smiling and joy captured and of course highest quality shown as usual
Iceland will do this to people. Knocks you down and picks you up at the same time. Well done. 🎉
I will be experiencing this in just a few months! Thank you for sharing!!
Loved the Walid voiceover 😂. Another great episode 👍
Cheers buddy
not even surprised, your words to your tour guide made me tear up! the Icelandic guides are the most special individuals, the folklore, the accent, and like you said - the smile in their eyes! thank you again, safe travels always!
What an insanely beautiful country. After seeing these episodes I really want to travel there. Great job editing these beautiful shots with epic music!
Thanks 😊
Karl this was truly epic. I loved every moment. Stunning country. I felt like I was right there. That was bloody brilliant 👏 💖
Thanks Jackie 😊
I have never had Iceland on my priority list but after watching your experience I believe it is now #1.
Wow! My favourite travel video I have watched on the platform so far - of about hmm 20?
Thanks Karl!
This is so beautiful it may me cry. Beautiful people hosting, beautiful landscapes, amazing experiences and to hear repeatedly that is was the best day of fellow travellers lives - simply amazing.
I'm really happy that you enjoyed our country, as Icelanders we really don't appreciate our beautiful landscape enough!
thank you for filming in such a an amazing way. keep exploring and surfing. stay blessed
Thank you for posting this! I found it searching for videos of the latest 2023 eruption. I did this same ring road tour in August 2021 with Intrepid-what a wonderful experience! The tour was a day shorter and I missed the whale watching and horse back riding and a couple spots due to weather and COVID testing (appointments for the return trip home) but stayed in many of the same places and had the same glacier guide. It was fun revisiting what I saw with a different time of year and a younger perspective. It looks like you had a very fun cohesive group of people.
I'm super happy and super stoked just watching this ❤ Iceland you beauty 😍 this is on my top bucket list.. special mention to Karl excellent excellent work done on this series bro 👍
Another banger of a video Karl. The narration guy was a hilarious touch on this one. I was hoping from the last video that you would do something like that 😂 The combination of the country, group, and guide made this such an awesome watch. Also your editing is top notch! Can't wait for the next one! 😄
Seeing my country through your eyes, the tourist eyes, has been uplifting and enlightening. You just gave me a different view of the landscape I have grown up in and shown me places that I have missed on my travels around here. I know you can't do or see everything Iceland has to offer in 10 days of travelling but still all the places you didn't get to see are on my mind. I hope your dream of coming back will come true and then you can experience more of the north, Ásbyrgi, Mývatn, Siglufjörður, and a lot more. Best wishes from Akureyri and thank you for a great presentation of Iceland.
The only thing this video is missing is ME. LOL! Great work. Loved it.
Came across this blog ...nd this is one of the most beautiful travel blog I have seen on CZcams ❣️
you guys are living the life many would love to live.
trust me i was really amazed all the time watching this thing and was like I'm one of member of this group.
best wishes to everyone and specially the owner of that channel for not using any ad on videos.
you're deserve million views but unfortunately people don't like good things these days but still good things will always be appreciated.
You are awesome guys! Thank you for letting us to live through your amazing experience in Iceland.
On my CZcams search for glaciers, Northern Lights, Iceland, Fjords, etc…these two videos popped up and I just spent a lovely afternoon watching exactly what i was looking for. A smallish group tour of Iceland. What a great video. New subscriber!! 👍🏼🧊❄️
Thanks 😊
An absolute gem!!!
Iceland looks amazing.
agreed. i never knew iceland was so beautiful and had so many awesome sights. thanks for taking us along. safe travels.
I’ve watched this over and over again I’ve never seen Iceland 🇮🇸 like the way you have presented it to us . Truly amazing and I really enjoy all your content I still watch the Vietnam vlogs you did from time to time . The music score you use is also just great . Thank You 🙏 for bringing us on your travels.
I just watched both the Iceland episodes and loved them! Great video and great group of people! Getting very excited for my Iceland trip this year!!!
Breathtaking! Thank you for filming it.
Really enjoy watching your travels. What a great group of people to travel with. I'm glad you all had such a awesome time. Gives me trip inspiration too. Thank you
Iceland part two, such a beautiful strange land and it was great how the group gelled together so quick.
Karl, Iceland is everything I never thought it was. You have opened my eyes to a place that is not only beautiful but full of great things to do as well. I really appreciate your hard work to make each video a new and wonderful experience. No legs on this trip, but the fun everyone had makes up for no 🦵 Watched Ep 1 and 2 so far. Good stuff Thanks again!
Watching your videos is like taking the journey with you, THANK YOU!
Beautiful series. It's perfect to show my husband as we plan our trip for September. Larus is SO funny and adorable 😍
I bloody loved those films… perfect inspiration for a trip north.
fabulous videos - heading to Iceland in February. so looking forward to it.
3:58 the quick black fox jumps over the lazy dog.^^
I’m in love with these amazing sincerest people 🥺🥰❤️
Pure magic what a place to visit another one for the bucket list. Two great videos Karl, great tour guide, great group of friends and great memories.
Che meraviglia L Islanda..una terra davvero magica ❤
Fantastic trip!! Amazin country!!
I enjoyed watching your video soooo much!! thnak you for making it.
Awwww... I love you let the brother narrate. What an awesome voice. 😍😍😍😍
I ENJOYED!! every second of this video. AWESOME!! JOB KARL 👍👍
Fantastic video and a bloody brilliant speech to top it off. Iceland is firmly on the to-do list.
Wow beyond what I expected. Iceland was never on my wish list but wow it sure is now
Hi Karl,
Another fantastic video well delivered. You are truly inspiring. Enjoying this!
Amazing trip and group!
Wow brilliant as the first episode. At the end of the episode I hat a tear in my eye with your speech to the amazing guide. Stunning Karl. Absolutely blown away.
Thanks buddy appreciate it
I LOVED these 2 videos. My mom and I just finished them. We went to Iceland in 1967 and left in 1971. I went to first, second and third grade there at the A. T. Mahon school on the military base in Keflavik. We really loved our time there and spent a lot of our time traveling around and seeing the sights. I always felt like we were very lucky because we did not have to live on the base and so I was more embedded in the Iceland culture and had lots of Icelandic friends. When we were there tourism was not a "thing" but our Icelandic friends showed us a lot of local sights, like 2 caves called the grotto, and a place called Whale Bay., where we camped and my dad ran his "skivvies" up a flagpole on top of a mountain there. We actually did the ring road trip and camped our way around the island. My mom actually flew over Hekla while it was erupting and we have followed all the eruptions in the last few years. It's a good thing you went when you did since part of that ring road is now closed because of the lava flow into Grindavik.. I am so glad to see how tourism has affected the island. My mom and I have always wanted to go back to see it again and I've always told people that I would like to see it through "adult eyes" and for my mom to see it through "sober eyes"! LOL As you know those Icelanders like to drink and party. It will probably never happen, but watching your trip there was not just great incentive, but reminded us of just how beautiful that place truly is. Thank you for the inspiration and the memories!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your lovely experience with us
Omg what a trip you put together,,I can't wait
Thank you Karl! I have been fortunate enough to travel to Iceland twice now, and went to many of these places, however, this group and your special guide etc, have left me super happy with a smile on my face. Thank you so much! Everyone, Please go to Iceland, it is a magical place that is so other worldly that you will never forget it! I too would recommend travel to Iceland in October so that you have a chance to see the Northern Lights like we did. May is also a very nice time to go because daylight lasts so long and the midge flies around Myvatn lake are not out yet! (Avoid August at Myvatn due to swarms of Midge flies, that my son can attest to. Definately stop at the "Cow Shed" restaurant near Myvatn , like this tour did! It is fabulous! And try their Volcano Bread and a Brennivin! If you want to plan an itinerary, this one is great! Consider a stop in East Iceland at Estrahorn and Vestrahorn and definately ride a horse! Taak!
Wow...thats an amazing 10days exploration around Iceland. Interesting to watch till the end. Tnx4sharing 🙋
Amazing amazing amazing…. Loved it 😍
Thanks 😊
Larus is full of pride of his country and was happy to show it. Your Iceland videos are amazing! It‘s perfect! Well done.

One of the best hours experience i have enjoyed for a long while. Your group and yourself seem to have jelled and produced an adventure worthy of much acclaim, A lovely land, people and a wonderful retelling in your editing, Thank you, Karl.
The land and vistas were good and one hopes Iceland might use your skills to develop tourism in their country,
Thanks Paul 😊
Absolutely fabulous Karl! You do the best job of showing us the beautiful country of Iceland, but making it so funny at the same time! Love all the drone videos too, it shows us so much! Thank you! I hope to get there one of these days! 🍻🍻🍻
Fantastic videos, as an Icelander I really enjoyed it. Great group of people beautiful videos, photos and editing. The best travel videos I’ve seen so far ❤👍

Great report on a country that is unique and full of miracles! Took me back to happy times :)
This production is incredibly amazing! So emotional and funny and epic. Thank you for inspiring many people Karl!
Thanks 😊
I really loved the second part! (The narrator at the end was hilarious!)
I'll keep an eye out for your future trips, maybe the timing will be right for one. I travel solo a lot, but going on a fun tour with fun fellow travellers and a great guide, just makes it so much more fun! Your editing and music really make the video special. I can't wait for the next one.
Thanks very much 😊
Excellent travel documentary of Iceland! See you in the Fall Iceland!
Great video man! Loved every second of it.
fully fully loved this , just amazing
This video has me so excited to go back! So beautifully shot. 😍
You have a real talent with how you approach these videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
This was truly amazing. I have seen both parts, & it was just like that I am also traveling with you guys. This seems how wonderful would be the experience when a person would have been physically in Iceland.
Another brilliant one here Karl! A really solid end to end overview of Iceland and heaps of fun! Lovely recognition of the guide at the end... What a legend he is! Cheers boss! X
Cheers mate 😊
Amazing Iceland videos Karl. We felt like we were with you on the journey. You’ve inspired us, as you do with each of your adventures. We’re from the UK but watching this from Austria, our first post covid adventure (road tripping Netherlands, Germany, Austria & Slovenia). Excited for more videos. We’d love to join a future tour. Keep up the good work. Sarah & Vadim. X
I enjoyed your travel video; reminding me of my time there with my granddaughter's family. They are very sweet people and have taken me on many of these sights.. my granddaughter had a horse, she took me riding and I fell off; prayed as I fell that I wouldn't land on a rock or the horse step on me...only tore my rotator cuff! Beautiful sights! Sweet people! So much to see..the Lave Cave was phenomenal ....
omg i shared a tear :) thx Karl , sure have to go there and im watching all and want explore more!
Your videos just get better and better, looking forward to the next one.
Brilliant second video Karl :) I can't wait to watch the Thailand series.
Love this!! Looks amazing 😍 Iceland is somewhere I would love to go! I recently went to Tibet which was incredible!
love from india, yesterday i found ur channel and now i addicted to ur video..
