This is the second episode from our Iceland series, and this was a time full of highlights - walking behind waterfalls, swimming in wild mountain pools, and walking on black sand beaches littered with ice diamonds. Iceland is epic, and we can't wait to go back one day.

Tara, your naratives are so well worded. It would be amazing if you wrote a children's book. (You know, with all the spare time you have) haha. But I just am so amazed at your intros. They are so elequently worded.
She really has a beautiful way of sharing knowledge with us, I even enjoy watching her advertisement she's so pleasing to the eye and so well spoken! That's because she grew up in Africa!!🌷
You took the thoughts right from my mind😉🇿🇦
Yes absolutely. But why narrow the audience? I really enjoy her interpretations, with that lyrical cadence. Well done, and enjoyed by throngs of fans I'm sure!
Hmmm, we might be working on something like this…. ;)
Yes! A book Tara! ❤❤
The entire female population went on strike last month in Iceland to stand up for equal rights so not so sure about the progress there . But every woman, all of them marched for their rights. I mean every woman. It was inspirational and made me proud . We are doing it here in the USA on June 24. I don’t think we will get every woman, but we will stand.
Thanks for part 2 . It was fabulous. What memories for your family.
Sawyers face when he is swimming............how totally adorable
❤️❤️❤️
Both part 1 and 2 were amazing videos Tara and John. We, through your eyes, get the chance to see places we can never visit ourselves. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Sawyer’s soft wispy curls makes him look like a Cherub…. 💖
Haha! Crusoe’s wonderful sense of humour coming through: “I’m going to drive there and meet you there,” in the little red tractor.
Thank you for taking us on your journey of the land of fire and ice.
What an amazing place Iceland is.
I was surprised at Crusoe and Sawyer. They seem to find puddles and tractors no matter where they are.
Thanks so much for watching Sandra ❤️❤️

All those yrs ago!😍🥰 Two beautiful people came together and created a beautiful family life for two amazing little men! Sawyers smiles in that pool ate priceless! Thank you for sharing this wonderful land with us!! Thank You for tacking us along ! 🐕🥶💦❤️🏊🏾
You really do know how to travel intelligently. Keeping things flexible is just so smart. Glad to see you had a fun and safe trip.
Thank you so much!
I look forward to watching you all twice a week . I love watching your children grow up. Thank you for sharing all your adventures and your time on the farm .
You guys get married in penguin outfits. And Crusoeis is there with the angry Bird hat on. 😂😂😂❤
Another advturous day. Ice is awesome. Thankyou for taking me with you on your travels, as I am too old to travel now. I can just sit back in my comfy armchair and enjoy the journey with highlights from your beautiful young men when they discover something that makes us laugh❤❤❤❤❤
Hi there Tara, so sad you didn't see the lights. I also hoped that we could see that. O dear Crusoe and his masjiens...tractors and diggers! Maked me laughing. ...." I see you there" 😂😂.
Amazing views! John, with all his adventures, 🏊♀️ 😅.
All the ice looks so great.!!
Wow, what an adventure. Thanks for the update. We love it. Big hugs Melinda from South-Africa ❤❤
Beautiful, interesting!! Thanks for letting me tag along.
Any time!
What an amazing hike you did into the mountains for a swim and the glacial lagoon was gorgeous. What a precious smile Sawyer had on his face while swimming. Iceland is certainly a contrast in landscapes. What a great episode to watch...thanks
Iceland is so lovely! It's usually going towards the equator that is associated with holidays, so going the opposite direction is a bit of a surprise diamond.
I loved your description of the Icelandic people being so laid back and creative about turning their threats into assets.
The waterfall and the swimming all looked like great fun. Of course Crusoe is throwing himself into the whole experience, Sawyer gets more and more cognisant and it's fascinating to watch.
Sad that you didn't see the aurora. One day ..... :)
Thank you all for sharing- I love having the opportunity to see this through you and your children’s eyes. They are so precious and so lucky to have parents like you two. I am in awe!!! Bless you all from Marietta, Georgia
Thanks so much for watching Tricia 🇮🇸❤️🙏🏼
Who. Looked after OBI whole u r traveling & the chickens ❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏enjoy ur travels u r truly blessed to b able to travel as u do ❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Gail. We got Obi when we came back from Iceland ❤️❤️
Awesome family. I love watching all their adventures. Another great destination 🥰
Thank you so much friend! Hope you enjoy part two, we thoroughly loved our time in Iceland and hope to go back soon 🇮🇸❤️🙏🏼
Hello from Lisbon The Newbys, it is with great pleasure that I have been following your videos for some time now since you settled in the north of Portugal. I congratulate you on choosing my country and wish you and your children the greatest success and happiness. It is impressive to see you very excited about your projects at your retreat. Why did I comment on this video? Because in June / July I will go on a magnificent trip, which among those to more northern countries includes Iceland and Greenland in the Arctic. I see you had a lot of fun. I started traveling with my son when he was 5 months old, it's not a complication at all. Stay safe! Greetings from Lisbon.
I had no idea Iceland was so wonderful! Thank you so much for helping to broaden my knowledge! Sawyer and Crusoe add so much to your-and our lives. Loved Sawyers little rebellion, and his laughter and expressions while swimming and Crusoe planning to drive his fixed tractor up to the top of the mountain in order to meet up with you there. Fabulous imaginations, and outlook on life. What a glorious journey!!♥
You are so welcome Elizabeth! Thank you for all your support 🇮🇸❤️🙏🏼
Where you did not see any of the aurora borealis lights people say that if you take your camera and point it at the sky in your in the area that normally the lights are there if you're not seeing them with your own I your camera will pick them up try taking pictures with them the next time you go
Nicer to see with our own eyes though for sure, right? Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
It sure is amazing to have these memories and travels and experience this with children. We cherish ours, especially now our son is 21. ❤
Thanks Linda! ❤️❤️
góðan daginn.....good afternoon Newby family, lovely to see your part 2, I read here that another friend had the same idea as me when months ago, told you Tara your voice is perfect for ebook narration, now knowing your brother is a teacher, well, it runs in the family, surely narrating all your travelogue podcasts as helped and as well as your Safari tours guide narration for sure. When I saw the icebergs and the mountains of ice, I remembered your trip to Antarctica where you and John got married, now many years later on another side of the planet you brought your precious bundles of joy. Quite extraordinary. Question ... would you live in Iceland???? The landscape has it draws but then .... thanks again for this wonderful adventure with you all. Hugs and kisses to you all👱♂️👶💖🥰👏☺🇮🇸 ✈🚢🌏🌎🌍
You are so sweet Joanne. We might be working on something like a book! Let’s see ❤️❤️
@@TheNewbysExplore specializing in exploring different parts of the world, ebooks on geographical exploration would be great for both of you Tara and John. Of course once all is settled and during low slow months. Would love to see more parts of Portugal especially Amarante. Cheers💖🌺🦋🙏🥰💐🏡🇨🇦
I knew Sawyer would love walking behind the water fall and getting all wet! Your boys are such adventurers like their parents. Life is good!!
❤️❤️❤️
Iceland....so amazingly beautiful!!🩷💗💕❤️
I can't even imagine how much you have done for the tourism of Iceland it was a great vacation. When I lived in Hawaii on the big island we live next to volcano also that was a live volcano that erupted every once in awhile. People learn how to adjust. So much fun watching your children. They are so happy but why not when they have such wonderful parents as you too. Blessings and love from New Mexico
Oh wow that’s so interesting Judie! ❤️❤️
Such a special episode. You captured Iceland so perfectly, highlighting its evocative beauty and otherworldliness. Thank you ❤
You make me want to visit and i Hate the cold! 😂 Stunning filming and atmospheric music, just perfect!
That's funny: I was in Iceland nine years ago when the family had just bought the buses and talked about their plans. And now you're sleeping in it! ❤ And just last week I was in Iceland for the second time - it's just beautiful. This time near Akureyri in an old fish factory. The whole country is like a mountain full of wonders. 😮😊❤
Awesome!! That’s so cool.
I’ve so enjoyed your trip to Iceland. I had a short trip there a few years ago (a gift from my family) and I did experience the blue lagoon glaciers, the continental drift, geysers, waterfalls AND the northern lights, but your accommodation and self driven adventure made me determined to go back someday and do it your way. Thanks Newbys, for a great couple of videos.
You know, thats all it is about being a child. Being allowed to experiencing the break of ice unter your wellies, different countries, food and people and wildlife. I am fortunate to have made lots of memories in my long life, that today, unable to travel anymore I live on
Love it!! 🇮🇸❤️🙏🏼
I continuously am reminded that you are training your children to pay attention to the tiny miracles around them, not only when traveling but everyday. Good on you❤
Yes! Thank you! 🙏
As a tour operator for Iceland and following your channel since you landed in Portugal, it was a very nice surprise to see your trip to Iceland. You captured the awe for this countryside and the people. And the importance to soak in all the small wonderfull experiences (like crunchy icey grass under your foot). Thank you for these videos!
❤️❤️❤️
Whether it was the landscape or the music- it brought up long forgotten memories of another time long, long, long ago and the release of something , I know not what ,with spontaneous tears, a sudden sobbing , and just as fast as it came ......it was gone and I returned back to the present moment. Your videos do that to me sometimes and I just feel gratitude for the release...........
This was a very special trip. Thank you for bringing us along with you. A while back there was a TV show about a group of men who went to Iceland looking for gold in the mountains. They didn’t find gold but they DID find huge veins of rubies!! They took their findings back to be assayed and then the show stopped. I think the Island government pulled their permits and stopped it all. It was a very interesting program.
Love and hugs to you four happy wanderers 🤗👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👨👩👦👦 ⛄️☔️❄️
I would like to thank you for your videos. I'm a elderly woman who will not get to travel the way I wish I could. Watching your videos is so delightful. 😊
The landscapes are incredible! A stunning video…the contrasting tones of ice against volcanic rock and those blue skies …what an amazing place!
Hi John, Tara and boys! Good job on the music you chose for the video! My son and I were able to see the aurora borealis from our home in New England; it was lovely! As always, thank you for sharing your adventures and I love how you treat your little tykes as people, Allowing them to test their abilities and limitations as they learn and explore.!
En jättefin film från Island, pojkarna är så rara, så duktiga att gå med er överallt.❤
The one piece of icelooks like a lion 🦁 to me the boys seem to enjoy the waterfall.
Tara and family thank you for taking us all on this journey.. it has been awesome seeing Iceland . I enjoy every one of your videos but I must say these last two have been a treat of note. Please keep travelling and sharing your stories/ experiences/ journeys 🙏🏻🤗
When you swam in the pool I the mountains I suddenly notice such a striking g resemblance between John and Sawyer, what a beautiful moment.xx
Thanks Elly!!
Such wonderful little boys always smiling.
❤️❤️❤️
It will be a great memory for the boys ,they are so lucky to have parents like you ,I wish lots of happiness for your family
Thank you so much!
Absolutely STUNNING🎉. Thank you for taking me there. Tara that "picture" when you holding the boys is precious❤🫂 and the family shot unforgetable. 🌞🌞🌞
Hello lovely Newbys, you may not have seen the northern lights but I'd say those ice fields were absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing this fantastic adventure you had with the boys❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
What amazing views! I never knew how unique the landscape is there...awww the boys were thrilled to be swimming. Love seeing you make so many wonderful memories with your children. Blessings to you all!
You four are amazing people and I am so grateful that you are sharing your adventures. Crusoe is too fun with instantly saying no when asked if he wants to go swimming and yet is the first one ready to get in the pool. Great young boys you have ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Ann Marie. This was so sweet of you to say 🇮🇸❤️🙏🏼
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
"Skogar Museum in Southern Iceland, is a cultural heritage collection of 18,000 regional artifacts exhibited in 6 historical buildings and 3 museums."
Don't know if you stumbled across this place. I found it very interesting. A chance to see traditional Iceland houses of years back and how people lived.
Wow truly amazing guys the blue ice reflecting in the water, so spiritual. Sawyer’s face in the thermal waters aaaww. Crusoe noticing the scenery from your car !what a fantastic holiday! Thank you xx❄️🐴💧🌞
WOW! Thank you for taking me along with you. My eyes did not know where to focus, there was so much to see! What am amazing place!
What grand memories for the boys! We enjoyed seeing where you went in your two vids :)
Thanks friends. Hope your trip was as much fun, very sad to have missed you!
Absolutely wonderful video. Iceland is stunning, you're right, and you've given the boys a magical trip.
"I'm going to drive there, I'll meet you there." That told you, Dad! 😉 In fairness it was a superb red tractor 🚜
SO many stunning places and those horses too - What more can you ask for?
Another beautiful video, thank you so much for taking us all with you 💚
*Hugs * to you all! x
I would give this video five thumbs up if I could! The scenery, the narration, the music and this amazing family are all weaved into a most powerful video!
❤️❤️❤️
You all are living your best lives because family always comes first.
So true! Thanks Lori!
Hey :) I can't stop admiring you! I think every child dreams of such parents. How wonderful it is when you get to know this world together with your loved ones, and even so harmoniously. At the same time, you still manage to build a house in a foreign country :)
good luck to you in your endeavors!
Looks amazing place Iceland 🇮🇸 and the boys are having fun 🌻👋👋
Fantastic , aww Sawyer in the water ❤
Thank you 🤗
Wow, each week I watch Ithinking this is amazing what you all are doing on the farm and now your adventures with the boys are even more, if not just as spectacular. Please know no matter what you both are terrific role models for your sweet boys. I am so glad I found your sight at least 4 years ago. I look so forward to all your sharing of your life. I know it is very hard , but you are able to be there every minute with your kiddo's, because it goes so very fast. Our daughter Sandi turned 56 yesterday, next week Robbie will be 50, June 21 Jeffery is 47, and then July 25 Jodi is 49. I too did everything with our daughter and sons. Just before Tara you mentioned about your Vows I too was thinking the very same thing. It truly reminded me of your Wedding day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this glorious time. Always Donna USA
Thank you Donna!
Wow Iceland is truly epic such a cool environment. I have just finished watching Drew and Brittany's Iceland adventures and like yours they are incredible. Crusoe made me laugh when he was on the tractor and said to John 'im driving so I will meet you there' lol x
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience thru Iceland with us. Just adore those two little boys.❤
❤️❤️❤️
Such an incredible country.
Thanks Theresa!
The kids are so good, they are so cute and will be the best of buddies, great video!
Thanks Joan!
Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! That’s absolutely breathtaking!! From swimming to glaciers. You have it all😊
Thanks so much! 😊
I don’t watch travel channels very often but I love yours. I love watching the boys reaction to everything you do and see. Sheer delight.xx
Thanks Sue! ❤️❤️
Such a delightful video. It’s sooo beautiful there. Enjoyed watching you all have a swim together. The ecstatic look on Sawyer’s face 🥰
Loved Sawyers face when here was swimming what an amazing adventure you are having with your two little boys.❤️❤️
Thank you again for the gorgeous adventure! Love the precious time swimming. By the looks of it, Crusoe and Sawyer had a a blast! Love their smiley faces (as well as mom and dad).
🇮🇸❤️🙏🏼
I absolutely love everything about your videos! I loved the information about the horses, I loved the cinematography, I love your family! This is just wonderful to be a part of. Thank you!!!❤❤❤
Beautiful! Beautiful view, country and family! Cant wait for the next chapter.
Thank you friend! ❤️❤️
What a priceless family photo you snapped near the end of this video…that’s a keeper! I certainly enjoyed watching you marvel at the beautifully unique scenery and, as always, watching the boys as they proved to be happy travelers. Thank you for “taking us along”!
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful place. Amazing experiences for the whole family ❤
It really is!
You are the most amazing family! I envy the boys because of the beautiful life they have been given! Makes me wish I could be a child again! Thank you for sharing this beautiful journey! The filming is just glorious! Love you guys!❤️
Ola so beautiful, thanks.The boys so sweet.
Thank you too
Thank you, really enjoyed trip to Iceland❤
Wow you bought Iceland alive for me, the scenery was just stunning…loved watching the boys, so many memories to look back on…..
Ah we are so glad to hear that friend. Thanks so much for watching 🇮🇸❤️🙏🏼
Wow! Thanks for taking us along as armchair travelers. The Glacial Lagoon is something epic. The boys travel so well! I laughed when Crusoe spoke about second breakfast. I call it that too when I've had a very early bite to tide me over. S.
Loved this! Looks like basically the same mini Iceland road trip I did when I was there. Loved seeing it again! Can’t wait to get back and see some more.
Also, the joy on Sawyer’s little face when he grins like that is just gorgeous ❤
Sawyer's straw... hysterical.
This is such a special time to see both boys are full of adventure and I love how they run into nature. ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Superb scenery, loved the trip ! 🩵🤍🩵
Many thanks!
Well, even if you didn't get to see a lot of the Northern Lights you definitely have given me a chance to see such a beautiful and unique country. Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this experience I am now disabled and unable to see these type of places so I thoroughly enjoyed this trip with you
We are so glad to hear you loved watching this episode friend ❤️❤️
I look at Saywer and you know what, you can actually see he is just as smart and clever as Crusoe. Seeing every rock and drop of water, every stick and leaf as an oportunity. What amazing humans they are❤. Crusoe is only 3 but he comes over like a 10 yrs old, so wise❤❤❤❤. And, their laughter is all one need to make your day. What a great job you do as parents❤
Thank you for this lovely comment friend ❤️❤️
What a great travel story ❤ thank you and keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for sharing this fabulous vlog. What an amazing place Iceland is and what wonderful experiences for Crusoe and Sawyer. The waterfall, the swim in the warm waters to the ice on the beach precious memories that will be with them forever ❤xx
Thanks so much for watching Judy 🇮🇸❤️🙏🏼

Thanks Anita!
Thank you for taking me with on the beautiful trip!!
Hello from Boston ! Hi Tara, thanks for the info about Aura!👋❤
Thanks Phil!
What a wonderful trip? I was excited for you all. All I could think was that the ice reminded me of your wedding.
Crusoe on the tractor. I am driving, you go ahead and I will meet you. Wow, Mr. I dependence already! So cute. I am sure you had to pry him from that tractor.😂
Those falls were incredible. Sawyer loved it so much. You all did I know my favorite part was the end with all of the ice. The family pic and music was very fitting. I just love you guys.❤
Thank you Peter! ❤️❤️
WHHHHAAAATT!!!??? You saw BJORK!??? You can't leave it at that, you HAVE to TELL US MORE!! What, just at the shops? Was she wearing a cool outfit???
Hi Katie, yes she was wearing a very cool outfit, long skirt very colourful! A great surprise wandering around the shops.
@@TheNewbysExplore Ahhhhhhh! Squealing internally in FANGIRL!!! Eeeep. How wonderful
Oh my goodness. Such a well put together video. The music at the end is so appropriate and haunting, just like the landscape. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
I will never get to travel to different countries so I thank you for sharing your adventures with us. How interesting it was to learn about a part of our world I never took the time to check out even online. You opened my eyes. Thank you.
We are so glad to hear you loved this episode Pamela. Thanks so much for watching 🇮🇸❤️🙏🏼
