We film our adventures across the UK and beyond as we discover some of the best-hidden spots, areas of outstanding natural beauty, and incredible unique stays! Come travel with us, the great outdoors is only one click away!
Found your channel by accident as I've recently got my first passport and looking to finally escape the UK for a bit, so I'm now being recommended all kinds of Nordic videos! Earnt a like and sub, love your attitudes, amazing videography and top tips... Look forward to catching up with your older videos and seeing new ones, cheers to you both! Happy and save travels.
A mega thumbs up from me Hay and Kyle 👍 A great part two and you got some really colourful footage in this - loved that yellow lighthouse! The church looked awesome, looked to me like something built out of Lego! 😄 Well done for braving the elements on your boat trip. That woman was certainly lapping it all up! Sorry you didn't get to see any whales. Look forward to part 3! All the best 😃 👍
Yeah very good video my friend, always see beautiful views from your video. nice..👌👋💯🤗👍🙋
Stumbled onto you guys planning my own trip to Iceland to make videos. Great series. Thanks guys!
Cheers mate! Have a fantastic time out there! ☺️
3 episodes! yesssssss :) watching it now - so far so good. Thanks Hay and Kyle.
Thanks Nick!!! 🙌😅
Hi both . Glad you had a lovely experience and have given yr time to share yr adventure . certainly something we wouldn't be able to do... Thankyou it was brill . Lv Ali /R x
Hi Ali and Ralph hope you are both doing well ☺️ hope you had a lovely weekend, much planned for this week? ☺️
@@HayandKyle Hi both. We not too bad. Hope we can have a run into peaks... Lighter nights and spring too look forward to . Lv us x
Hi Kyle and Hayley, thanks for braving the snow and frigid temperatures to bring us this wonderful video of Reykjavik Iceland and the Whale watching expedition. At least on the boat tour you got some Hot Chocolate and some Nutella crepes and waffles. The scenery from the boat looked really beautiful and glad you were able to endure the cold to stand on the deck. That person that was kinda dancing on the deck below looked like an Eskimo so they were probably very used to the cold temperature. With all of the cold there in Iceland they sure created a lot of beautiful buildings and sculptures for all to enjoy. Enjoy the quality and appreciate all the hard work to create all your videos but must say this Iceland series has been one of my favorites. Must say that minus the frigid temperatures the memories that you have captured on this journey will be with you forever and looks like you had a fun filled Christmas Eve. Glad experience Iceland through your video series.
Hi Ben! Good to see you in the comments 😊 those memories are for a lifetime for sure! ❤️
WOW!! Another fantastic video, thank you for braving the freezing conditions to bring it to us, love the rainbow road🌈 you were very brave to do the whale watching trip in that weather, really looking forward to seeing your next video, love and hugs to you both😍😍❤️❤️❤️xxxx
Thanks Nanny ❤️❤️❤️😊 those freezing conditions were super chilly 😅 big coats hot choccy and waffles came to our rescue! 😊
Hey guys! love to see Reykjavk, never been, and planned so many times, and just... never got there. This is great inspiration to get going finally!
Hey! You absolutely must go, it's such a unique place. We were really surprised how cheap our flights and hotel package was to get out there at least. You might need a bit more money to pay for things in the city 😅 Glad you enjoyed it, we'll see you in the next one ✌️
Absolutely brilliant as always. Love mum and dad. 😘😘😘
Thank you 😘😘
I like the rainbow road, very nice 🌈 and the church was unique 😊 Your boat trip looked bumpy, well done for persevering! ⚓️ The Christmas decs are very pretty, and the sculpture was interesting. The lil’ lighthouse was rather fun too. Glad you managed to find a few free features in the city. 😊 Thanks for the city tour, despite the reduced day light, it looked really good, 🥰 Can’t wait for part 3! ❤
Thanks Rachel! 😊 The rainbow street was super pretty! Especially with the church at the top of the street! ❤️ Thanks for watching ❤️❤️
Hallo, danke für das tolle Video, Gruß Siggi und Marianne 🎹👍🔔 guten Start in die neue Woche
❤️❤️❤️
Another great video, really enjoyed it, can't wait for the next one, thanks
Thanks Pam! Glad you enjoyed it! 😄 See you in the next one ❤️🙌
I will be there in Friday, thanx :)
Planning an epic trip to Iceland for April 2024. It looks like you had a great time, but as a Floridian, I think we need more blue in the sky and a little warmer temps. lol. Love what you guys are doing here, so, subed to see more. My father and I love to inspire and be inspired by other travelers. As park rangers with degrees in anthropology, we are drawn toward content with information on culture, historical sites, ecology and local food. I appreciate you sharing your experience and I look forward to being here on our Drive around the world. - Bear
Another great video guys 👌 a lot of love for this. Really interesting to see a bit of a city tour mixed in with that nature. Can’t wait for that final episode and those northern lights 👍
Hello Mr Topics! 🙌 Cheers for your comment 👍 never really done a proper city tour so was fairly new to us 😅 looking forward to your Goyt valley videos 👍🙌
Thanks for the video 👌👍
Thanks for watching Spongemonkey ❤️❤️🙌
What an amazing place to visit. So glad you were able to film everything despite the low light at times. Such a magical experience for you both. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for the next one! Lots of love Mutti 🥰❤️
Thks Mutti 😘 definitely a magical experience! ☺️❤️ Xxx
Fab! Bring on part three
Hi Nick thanks for watching! Have you much planned this week? 😊
@@HayandKyle I’ve been walking in Charnwood and Bradgate Park Leicestershire a very interesting place!
Haven't been to Bradgate Park for many years but remember it well 🤗
Thank you guys so much for sharing your amazing journey… I really needed to see this!! What an insight-Just booked my solo trip for december 🫣🥶 (challenging) -now wondering whether summer would’ve been a better choice 🤣😂
Fantastic vlog, you two are doing a great job in freezing conditions, giving us an interesting tour, its very much appreciated. BTW, we see a great improvement to your films now, everything is on point, well done Hay & Kyle 😀
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment you guys. We love that you've enjoyed watching and your support has always meant a lot to us 🙂 Thanks for the encouragement, we feel more confident with each video. 🤗
Excellent....we have a Thingwall here too...M is recovering....
Good to hear about Mairead 👍❤️ sending our love! Will have to look into Thingwall! 😅👍
@@HayandKyle many thanks, both...
Bellissima video my friend 👍👍👍👍👍
Grazie 🤗
I've always wanted to visit here. My mother explored Iceland in December a few years back and it just looked breathtakingly beautiful! Such a shame you didn't get to see any whales but looked a great trip nonetheless. Looking forward to watching more from you both. Have a great week. Stacey
Hi Stacey thanks for your lovely comments, did your mum manage to see the golden circle etc? Definitely was a fantastic experience 😊 🤗 welcome on board 👍 have a great week yourselves too xx
Great videos guys. We’re there next week.
Thanks so much for watching guys. We hope you enjoy your time in Iceland. Any activities booked? 🙂
@@HayandKyle we fly out Saturday, so Sunday just walking around Reykjavik. Monday Blue Lagoon, then Tuesday and Wednesday driving south coast (weather permitting 😂) to Vik then diamond beach.
Ahh LUCKY!! We didn't quite make it to Vik :( Enjoy 🤗🤗
Great video! I’d love to go to Iceland one day. My husband is a bit disappointed that you didn’t feature the Eve Online monument that is meant to be there somewhere! 😉
Thanks Helen! We didn't get chance to see that! 😅 Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️❤️
Kyle here: Wish I'd remembered that was there actually, played a ton of Eve Online back in the day 🤓
Nice vid from you two. The cathedral is brilliant i got some good photos from in there. The boat trips we went out at night to get a clear view of the northern lights also got some photos.
We also went whale watching but we only saw dolphin because all the whales head for warmer waters in winter to have their calf's so no whales in winter best in summer time for whale watching
Hi David thanks for the info! We were thinking about going back for summertime potentially 🤞luckily we get to redo the whale watching trip whenever as we didn't get to see them 👍😊
@@HayandKyle I didn't know myself about the whales until this old iceland Fisher man told me at the old docks I already booked the trips before I arrived in iceland. Was also our first time there so now we know no whales in winter we'll we have to learn these things about other countries. Me and my wife are thinking about going in summer but not sure yet definitely going back again just like you two we love iceland..all the best
@@HayandKyle we did see the dolphin they was beautiful still worth the trip on the boat even tho my wife was sea sick 😫
Great film and what an amazing place to visit, shame the Whales let you down
Just means we'll have to go back 😅 hope you have a lovely week ahead🤗 👍
@@HayandKyle could be a plan 😀
1st 😊
Yes Rachel! 🙌❤️❤️
Hi guy's great series on Iceland 🇮🇸. I fly out on Monday 6th from Luton. Staying 4 nights. On the tours, how slippery are the paths/walkways. Will I need crampons? Also I have been advised to buy my alcohol at the duty-free before I land.
Looking forward to seeing your next episode. Graham
Hi Graham, thanks for watching. Sounds like you might be taking a similar trip to ours 🙂 We actually wished we had taken crampons as the streets in Reykjavik were slippery but we managed without them. The tours (from our experience at least) were very well maintained and we were fine for the Golden Circle. Alcohol is incredibly expensive in Iceland,)along with everything else) so it sounds like you've been given good advice. Stay safe and have a great trip 🤗
Where did you booked whale safari from….n it started from which place n how long was the drive through n back?????
The whole tour was a couple of hours long, we went down to the port in Reykjavik and there's a few whale watching boat offices you can buy tickets from 👍☺️
@@HayandKyle any online recommendation?
Ay up 🦆.the views of the boat were amazing. Shame the whale's weren't playing .you should have gone in to the adult shop you would have seen a rabbit Instead 🤣
Ayup! 🦆 Luckily we can redo the tour because we didnt see the whales 👍 means we will have to go back again 😅
@@HayandKyle that's a shame .having to go back.🤣.bet you can't wait
@@markwaller3644 🤣🤣 will have to save up for another trip 👍
@Hay and Kyle well worthwhile tho
@@markwaller3644 definitely we are itching to go back 👍❤️
What a shame no whales. Fab though.
Yeah we were a bit gutted, but it's given us the fire to go back again in the summer and hopefully see some 🤗 Thanks so much for watching, we appreciate your support ✌️
@@HayandKyle love seeing places in different seasons. It's on the bucket list for sure. Great vlog.
