Have you been to Iceland before? Where was your favorite spot to visit? 😍
Studlagil Canyon.
@@iwa_flys Yup that place is insane!
Have been 4 times. Twice this year with one of those going around the ring road in a camper van 🚐 It was the best holiday I’ve ever had. Iceland as a whole is for me the best place on our planet. I love the whole country but my favourite areas are Eastern Iceland and Snaefellness Peninsula. I haven’t visited the Western Fjords or the Highlands but will be doing this next year.
@@welshlad6427 How much roughly have you spent in each vacation?? And what currency?
I'm heading to Iceland for my first trip in December. Of course I've been cramming tons of videos into my eye sockets but yours was one of the few I saved to go back to as I continuously plan this trip. Your information and links has gone far beyond and of the "professional" videos I've seen so far. Thanks! Just followed you on IG. Keep it up!
Just want to warn everybody about using Northern lights car rental at the Keflavík airport, they are scammers they find ways to charge you for damage that was done previously before your rental, then don’t even fix the car for the next rental. They have their own workshop, so all repairs are done in house but they say they are using a mechanic. Be very cautious.
Thanks for the warning Josh!
Thank you
Always take pictures and videos of the car before you rent it. That goes for any car rental company. Also, if you can afford damage waiver costs, pay them. If you can't, you can't afford to rent the car.
Great job with this itinerary video! I've been doing lots of research for my photography trip and you guys definitely helped with a few new locations and some logistical information I was curious about. Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching! So happy it helped! :)
This video was SOOO awesome guys!! Super informative and helpful as we plan our own trip. The cinematics were incredible!
Thanks for the love Mahna!! Hope you guys have the best time on your Iceland trip!
Josh and I just watched! This got us so excited to one day hit up Iceland. We love the itinerary! Drone moments were 🙌🏽🙌🏼
Hope you guys enjoyed!! It was so fun being able to fly the drone everywhere!

Can’t wait to see some of the amazing scenery!
Thanks for sharing this video. Really enjoyed it. Some of your drone shots make me really jealous! 😊
You are going to love it!
I really like your video 👍
Thank you for the feedback!
I just have to say, since this is the first video I have seen from you guys, that I've almost automatically saved the video, subscribed and gave a thumbs up! Not only did you cover basically everything, but you gave a complete tour with what to bring, when to go, what to see, and all that from a photographer and tourist point of view, in a immensely quality video. Well done and I'm looking forward to see your other adventures! Best regards from Belgrade, Serbia! 👏
P.S. I didn't catch it, where did you charge all of your electronic devices? Thanks!
Thank you so much for the feedback! We charged them all from the van outlets!
OMG Thank you. I am planning on going back and follow your itinerary.
Thats awesome! Have an amazing time over there, we love it so much!!!!
Looking forward to visit all those places. Definitely enjoyed the video.
You have to! Hope it can help!
This is seriously a fantastic video I've listed every place you've mentioned and I will plan my itenery from there. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 if you've never been to Ireland you should add to your list. Amazing country of beautiful coast and mountains ⛰️
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Hands down best video I have watched. Super helpful
If I decide to make a video of my own. I will have to credit you guys 1000%
Thanks Michael! That means a lot to us!
Very impressive lava flow, very rare occasion. So many beautiful clips. Now I have desire to go to Iceland again 😉
You have to go back! it is so rad!
The place of fire and snow :)
Been there twice, Iceland is my favorite country! Nice documentary!
Thank you for the feedback!
thanks for all your helpful information on this video. Ive never been but planning to go soon!!!
You are going to love it! Have fun!
thank you for the tipps. We was there November 2021
Of course! Hope you had a great time!
Thanks!
Omg thank you so much!!
This is so thorough! Thank you for sharing!!! My fiancé and I are eloping in Iceland next August so we are definitely adding a lot of these stops on our itinerary. Curious to know if there is a lot of dangerous wildlife to be aware of when camping (we are from Canada so something we are wary of lol). And also, what is your fave “easy accessible” waterfall (hike-able in a dress for potential wedding vows?) Thanks so much! Glad I stumbled upon your content through Instagram!
Hey Kim!! Thanks so much - your elopement is going to be so epic! Honestly we didn't have any run ins with wildlife outside of birds and sheep haha so you should be fine! In terms of easily accessible waterfalls, Skogafoss and Dettifoss are great options :)
Hi, congrats on your engagement! My fiancé and I just got engaged as well and are planning to elope in Iceland. Are y’all going to legally get married in Iceland or are y’all going to to that in your country and then the ceremony in Iceland? I’m so indecisive about which to do. I researched and it states we have to provide a lot of info first before we can legally get married there to make it legal in my home country the US.
Fantastic job! We're living in Sweden now and we can't wait to visit our neighbours in Iceland in the summer!
Omg! So envious of yall! Have an amazing time in Iceland it’s gorgeous 😍😍
Beautiful
That means a lot to us!
much informative
Thank you! Hope that it can help!
Kudos to you, very nice overview!
Outstanding in fact!
Thank you for the feedback Martine!
Just found this, great video guys.
Thank you! That means a lot!
Great job guys
Thank you for the support 🙌🥰🙏
Complete and useful guide, well done guys! Thanks. P.S. I've never seen a vlog with so many changing clothes, it's extraordinary
Thank you so much! Means a lot hahaha
Went to Iceland for my birthday last year, might be the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Absolutely incredible.
Totally agree with that Sam! It is unreal here
Going to iceland in january and have been doing some researching like many others and this video has me super excited. Have been searching for places to go to that arent too touristy since i really want to enjoy the views/nature of iceland and coming from NY i would like to get away form the crowds for once(I will still be seeing the tourist attractions ofc), Great video! If anyone has any other spots that are worth checking out in iceland that arent too popular please let me know! ill be staying in reykjavik
You are going to love it! The early bird gets the worm in Iceland so if you are worried about crowds try to get an early start each day!
Thanks for the wonderful video. We are making our first trip there next month. I have learned a lot from this!
Omg you are going to have so much fun!
@@TheLoversPassport yes!!!
Great cinematography, great editing, great video! Thank you for making this, I think it will be very helpful :) I was wondering how you charge your batteries for your drone(s)? Did you charge them from your car? At campsites? Other? It would also be cool to know what kind of equipment you're working with. Cameras, drones, etc. Thanks again, you guys are awesome!
Thank you! That means a lot to us! We brought a car charger for our DJI batteries and charged them while we were driving. All of our camera gear can be found in the description :)
Wonderful places
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much James Franco and Blake Lively! This was super informative!
Hahahaha flattered at Blake Lively 😂🙏
Nice Vlog guys, you visited a lot of places that my daughter and I went to, also in 2021 and I have to agree witnessing Fagradalsfjall erupting in August that year was the most amazing sight I have ever seen, we were up there at midnight and it was just getting dark and the lava lit up the clouds above so dramatically, an image I got has recently been shortlisted in a photo competition back in the UK and one I am particularly proud of. Feel very privileged to have not only seen it but also photographed it in full swing. Probably a once in a lifetime opportunity. In all aspects Iceland delivers 👌🌋 going back next year to do the Westfjords and Highlands 😉
That sounds awesome! We want to go back to spend more time in the Highlands too!
Fantastic video. Subscribed
Thank you for the feedback!
Really useful... Thank you :)
Thank you for the feedback!
i like it so much
That means a lot to us!
Great job guys !!! Planning to go in Octomber-November next year but as a photographer i dont know what to expect like rainy days and extreme weather conditions
we have some friends that just went in October and although it was snowing it was fantastic for photography with the Aurora!
You can expect every type of weather, in just one day you could experience all seasons.
Thank you guys so much for this! This vid gave me and my girlfriend some great inspiration and ideas for our own trip to Iceland.
Keep up the work guys! 😁🔥👌
Thanks so much dude! Hope that it can help you out! You will LOVE Iceland
Hi guys! My husband and I are planning to go next year and this video is really the ULTIMATE GUIDE! Thank you for the tips and great videos!
When you guys hiked to that erupting volcano the second time did you had the area all to yourselves? And btw, I recently just became your follower on Instagram and CZcams:)
Thanks for the feedback Tiffany! We did not have it all to ourself the second time but there were not that many people up there luckily!
Nice video, James Franko
HAHA happy you enjoyed it!!
what shall i say? This video was so helpful!! AWSOME!!! the pictures and the content, o m g just jawdropping!!!! we are planning out iceland trip this year , thank you =) Are there any spots you recommend for watching nothern lights?
Aw thank you for the feedback! There are SO MANY spots to see the northern lights and really depends on where the cloud coverage is. I would look at the website we recommended while you are there and just check it hour by hour and turn on alerts
I'm going to head to Iceland later this year and I'm planning on pretty much copy / pasting everything from this video. Thank you.
When writing it up, I was trying to do it on the same day but I got lost at some points. How many days was this trip for you? Thanks!
You are going to have an awesome trip!! Enjoy!
@@TheLoversPassport I can't wait! How many days did your trip take exactly? I wrote up an itinerary but I got lost when trying to keep track of the days.
Thank you for a great video and tips! Do you think 3 days would be enough for the West fjords (starting in Holmavik and from and return to Reykjavík)?
We think 3 days is perfect!
Execelente video
Thanks!!! The support means a lot 🤗❤️
Thank u! This is so helpful! Don't have enough sunsets tho to go to each place haha
HAHA right?! Gotta go back!
This is insane, i cRAVEEEEE
Thanks ma dude!!! 🤙🏼
Such a great video - so informative. Using it now to plan our trip! How long would you plan for the Fjadrargljufur Canyon? We are trying to pack as much in as we can in 8 days.
Thank you for your feedback! We would plan for about 1-2 hours at the canyon. Not too much to do just a quick drive up a walk!
Great video guys! Super informative... we are planning a trip to Iceland in April. Is it the right time?
Thank you for the kind words! April will be awesome in Iceland! It will still be quite cold and the highlands will not be open, but the Ring Road and a lot of hiking should be awesome! Have a great time on your trip!
I was stationed at Keflavik 1985-87. Youngest daughter was born there so she has 3 different birth certificates. A US one because she was born on Base and a Icelandic one along with a State Department one. It took some getting used to living there with the winds and other crazy weather. We drove to many sites such as Gulfoss and Thingvalir (don't know if I spelled that right!) I don't know since it's been so long but we were limited to what we could take off Base. No meats or anything like that. One pack of opened smokes and one sealed per person. We only had one "fastfood" place which was a KFC. A bucket of chicken was $89 back then!!!! But anyway it was a cool place to live for a short time.
That is crazy to see how much Iceland has changed since back then!
Thanks for great sharing dear friend
Here new fan full support and full watching
Have nice day
Aw thank you so much for the support!
Someday. 🤞🏻
You are going to love it!
Hi very nice and informative. Btw where did you buy your red and yellow jackets?
Thank you for the kind words Stella! We are wearing a red jacket from Cortazu, and the yellow is from Black Diamond!
Nice❤
@theloverspassport Hi! I just found your Channel. My husband & I are going on February. What month was this trip? I am very excited and thank you for so many helpful tips!
This was in august!!
Awesome video. Appreciate the intricate details. do you mind sharing the number of days for the itinerary you have mentioned in the video? Thanks :)
This itinerary works best with 7 days minimum!
Amazing video! Thank you!
I'll be visiting Iceland next month. Do you think I should do a city tour or skip it for something else?
Thank you!
You are going to love it!
I loved your video! I’m going to Iceland in August and your tips will help us a lot!! Where exactly are the places showed at 2:49 and 2:51??? They need to be in my bucket list!!! ☺️😀
Thank you so much for the feedback! You are going to love it here! First was mulagljufur canyon and second was Studlagil canyon!
This is a fantastic resource for anyone visiting Iceland. Thank you for sharing your great advice!!!
Thank you! That means a lot to us Todd
Hi guys ! Thanks you so much for making this video. Was your camper capable driving on F-roads ? It seems not to have 4 wheel drive
No we didn’t do the F Roads! But Happy Campers do have ones that have 4x4
Love the vdo. We are going in September. How long did you take for the trip on the Ring Rd?
Omg so exciting Amy! It took us 6 days to drive the whole ring road
Amazing video guys- very informative. Out of curiosity, the shot at 00:15 with the triangle figure....where is that located? Many thanks :)
That’s the arctic henge in northern Iceland!!
Thank you so much for your awesome video!! Can you tell us what brand rainjackets you are both wearing while sitting in the van (red & yellow)? We will be going in early Sept. This is my second trip and my wife's first. Your videos are being soooo helpful to us in planning our trip. Thank you again! Scott & Tracy
Omg that is so exciting guys! Stephen wears the Cortazu Red Rain Jacket and Giselle wears the Black Diamond rain shell
@@TheLoversPassport Thanks sooo mucgh for that, we very much appreciate it!
Amazing information!!! What airline did you guys use?
We used Delta!
OMG guys! Searching each and every corner of internet for value feedback about road-tripping through Iceland, you are DEFINATELY the most helpful source of information, hands down! Great, beatiful and throgough content! Loved it!
As I'm planning my own road-trip this November, could you pls tell me which sights require a ticket to see? For example, can you visit the volcano for free?
Also, any other suggestions and advises to a rookie like myself would be welcome!!
Thank you in advance! I wish you all the best!
Thank you for the feedback!
The way you spell "definitely" makes it sound like "DEFICATE" lol
Hello! What an awesome video! Thank you for the detailed itinerary! I want to plan a trip to Iceland, but I am a bit scared of the earthquakes. How bad is it?
The earthquakes are not bad at all! We think you 100% should plan an adventure to Iceland!
Studlagil canyon? the trail, does it have a narrow path with drop offs to view? my husband is terrified of heights. Thanks! Great video with wonderful information. Thank you
Thank you Cindy! Stadlagil is totally worth it! The trail stays away from the canyon most of the hike and it has "stair like" rocks that lead down to the actual canyon. We do not think your husband will have too much trouble with it!
