Yay, thank you!! We leave in 20 days and all your videos have been incredibly helpful!
Woohoo! I am happy to help! And thanks so much for watching! :)
Love these videos. Can’t wait to see your May video! That’s when I take my very first trip to Iceland!
Thank you so much for watching! I am happy to help! I hope you have the best.trip.ever! :)
Subscribed already. Can’t wait to visit Iceland 🇮🇸
This is the video I've been looking/waiting for! Thank you! I already determined that based on it still snowing (love the snow, but don't want to drive in it) in April that it's not worth the risk. I'll go in Summer when roads are safer, and hiking trails are clearer. Keep up the great work on the videos!
Great vlog as always ❤️
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching! :)
I have been binging your videos! I absolutely love all the useful tips!
Thank you so much! I am happy to help! When is your trip?
@@IcelandwithaView September hopefully! I am so excited, 7-10 days of travel and adventure!
Cant wait for a March video!
Hi Jeannie, if I wanted to plan to go to Iceland taking a cruise, what would you recommend? Your videos are very informative. Thnx
Your videos are so informative and helpful, please if u can do one about july and have ur recommendations
Stick around! Thanks for watching! :)
Hi Jeannie. Please do a video about summer hiking and camping for the highland areas !
Great idea! Thanks for watching! :)
Iceland with a View love your videos💙
Hi Jennie i was wondering where you got your map? It’s fantastic!!
Great video! For April (~10th), do we really need winter coat or a hiking polar jacket will be enough?
Just got back. Even saw the northern lights twice. Here's a little hint. Follow a northern lights tour bus because they know where to go.
Saw them in April ?
We went in January, it was awesome, but still a ton to see! Definitely going to be doing an April/May or October trip next time!! Great videos btw!
That's fantastic! Thanks for much for watching! :)
@@IcelandwithaView came across your video looking at a mid April trip and basically researching this is the only place to still see the northern lights. Flying out the 16th ... will we still be able to see them this year ? Thx in advance.
Was it bearable in January?
@@DaffytheDaffy did you see the northern lights in april?
Heading to Iceland on the 14th of april until the 27th! Very excited. Already got your Ebook, so I hope I'm all set. ;)
Midorie Villeneuve Chassé I’m going from the 15th to the 26th, haha.
Andrew Michael Dugas Ahah! Have fun! We might run into each other!
I hope you have the best.trip.ever! Thanks so much for watching :)
Midorie Villeneuve Chassé That would be cool! I’m traveling solo, counter clockwise around the Ring Road. :)
Please Please PLEASE make a video on Eurovision and Iceland!!! What is it like on that night in Reykjavík???
Great idea! Thanks for watching! :)
Hey, do you know if Brazilian tourists are allowed to visit Iceland in Appril? Due to the pandemic I don't know if Iceland is already open for foreign tourists.
hi Jeannie, how would travelling in Iceland be like without a car? would that be too inconvenient
Hi,
Do you think that I need SAAP protection during spring ?
Some of the car rental company recommend it because it is said to be a lot of storm ?
May I know what do you think about it ?
Will you be doing May in Iceland? Will be headed there in May this year! Super excited! 😁
Stick around! ;) Thanks for watching!
Iceland with a View lol will do!
What about whales in April? 🤔😊😊
Hi! Thank you for posting this helpful video 😊 I would like to visit Iceland 2 weeks, the last of March and first of April, to have better chance to see the northern lights but still a better weather than full winter hopefully…
We would like to do a complete ring road tour (without the west fjords), are the north and west roads usually open at this period of time? x
Hi there! Thank YOU for watching! The end of March and beginning of April is a great choice to visit Iceland! You're exactly right about having the opportunity to see the lights but also have more daylight and better weather than deep winter. And yes, the ring road is open all year round. I would still recommend a 4wd during that time of year, especially for the north. Also, be aware of your route in the east... some "shortcuts" are not maintained year round and can be very dicey. If you're looking for planning help for the best trip ever, I offer custom made itineraries to suit your exact travel dates, travel style, interests and group dynamics (icelandwithaview.com/product/custom-itinerary/). I also have a pre-planned 11 day Winter itinerary that you could stretch out into 14 days (icelandwithaview.com/product/11-day-itinerary-rr-gc-snaef-winter/). Happy planning!
Can I do the golden circle (driving) in Iceland?
Please do may next!!
Thank you for watching! :)
QUESTION!?!?
WE ARE LEAVING END OF MARCH INTO BEGINNING OF APRIL IS THAT A OKAY TIME TO SEE NORTHERN LIGHTS
I’m leaving in 2 weeks ❤️❤️
I hope you have the best.trip.ever! Thanks for watching! :)
Hi! Thank you for all the amazing videos! I have been binge watching them to help prepare for my May 10th trip lol - I have a quick question for you! How busy/touristy would it typically be in Southern Iceland mid-May? Do you (or anyone else in the comments) have any recommendations of some places to go in the South that are less touristy/less popular? Any tips would be amazing and thank you again for the videos :)
Tourism will start to pick up! Thanks so much for watching! I am happy to help! :)
Hello Julian, I wonder if you can help me. I lived for a while in Iceland 25 years ago. I am visiting Iceland after 25 years and wanted to meet old friends, I have some pictures. Are you able to help me find old friends? It would be amazing to meet up with them. 😊
Idole
Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm going in April for the second time 👍👍
On your way to see ALL the things! 🙌
Thanks for sharing! I am wondering is the weather in late april much better than early april? I am thinking about a ring trip in the last week of april, but not sure how the whether in east and north will be like.
Hi there! The weather change from the beginning of April to the end of April marks the difference between winter and summer - but summer is more like, "winter lite". The Ring Road is open year-round and fairly well maintained but I would still highly recommend a 4wd/4x4 with studded tires and full insurance. I would also say that comfort with winter/icy/snowy driving conditions will be REALLY helpful.
@@IcelandwithaView Thanks, Jeannie! I am not going to any F road. I am thinking about rent a 2WD to save some money, as I am traveling alone
Hi, am planning for the same time this year, was wondering is latrabjarg cliffs accessible during this time given good road conditions to view the puffins?
Hi, thank you for the informative vid!!
Do you know, if you can rent cars at the age of 19 (20 days before I get 20)?
It's best to check with the rental car company directly to answer these questions. They each may have their own policies on this.
Iceland with a View okey thanks😁
Find this useful clip when planning for the trip in Apr 2023… See ya
also where did you get that picture of the little hut at the base of what i'm assuming may be a mountain
In Iceland, duh!
april 8th. first time leaving the u.s. and i'm going alone
Iceland is a good choice for solo travel! Thanks for watching! :)
Leaving in 9 days woohoo
Woohooo is right! I hope you have the best.trip.ever!! :)
Iceland with a View aw thank you! I WILL
