Loved Iceland. We rented a motorhome and drove the Ring Road in 11 days. Saw so much...missed so much. Can't wait to go back. Bless bless!
honorable mention is snorkeling in the silfra fissure! such a unique experience!

I love your videos!! You always help me plan out my travels.
Mark, not only do you make your videos so interesting, they are also cinematographical masterpieces. Great scenes all around Iceland. Great shots at the Blue Lagoon. Thank you for listening to your fans as to what they want in a video.

Just came back from driving the Ring Road. 11 days of stunning beauty and great food. Didn't do the Blue Lagoon or the Golden circle. So much left to see on my next trip. Loved Iceland!!
Scot Verdin where did you sleep? In the car or hostels? I'm going soon and I want to plan it well
We're going to drive the ring road and we'll be there for a week
11 pm at night and this daylight is like u have all the 'day' for wondering around n photography :)

Great vídeo!
Thank you!
you need some sunglasses. giggles. gorgeous views!! this is on my wish travel list for sure. ( ;
I know. this one needed a lot of editing :)
Scandinavia = amazing nature and magical landscapes.
Iceland is not a scandinavian country. When will you people stop. Scandinavia is Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Iceland and Finland are also part of the nordic countries.
Thank you!
my dad and i went to iceland a couple weeks ago, we loved watching your videos before we left to go on our trip.
we tried puffin and we didn't care much for it.
+Julia Preston cool. Glad our videos could help. Thanks for the heads up on puffin
great video
can t believe it was 11pm 😉
we re going to Iceland next year... i hope we will enjoy it as much as you did and meet some nice people 😊
cheers
Tom
you will have a fun time.
oh man. i sure do love rækkevækk
+André Riber me too :)
I was there for a week last October, we did the golden circle (Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss), Jökulsárlón, the Blue Lagoon, and did a lot of just wandering around Reykjavík exploring everything, we even saw the American embassy which had huge concrete blocks in front of it and a security guard told us no photos. We took them anyways lol. We got a great deal, it cost me $1150 CDN to fly straight from Vancouver BC, Canada, and stay on Laugevegur near the bus station there for the trip, we just had to cover food after that and museums and we rented a car from SADcars, which was cheap but the vehicle was pretty old. One of my most memorable trips I've taken. 10/10 want to go again ASAP
funny though cause the american embassy in stockholm was so normal
Great video.. Although alot of this isn't actually in the city of Reykjavík
+Haraldur Örn Haraldsson true. But it's all easy to get to from reykjavik
A video about driving would be perfect!
we filmed one for advice on driving and after all the driving we did a 5 love and hates of driving in Iceland. I need to edit them together to get htem out. so they are coming
+Wolters World brilliant keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for your videos. They are so informative and inspiring. Is there ever an "off" season for Iceland?? Just wondering...
+CrankyBubushka I don't know. When I talked to locals they said the tourists are coming all year round now
Sir, in Reykjavík, where do you recommend for the fermented 🦈 and Drink?
I was just working on an Iceland trip today
cool. you will really enjoy your trip
I'm in Iceland right now since 7th of august, when were you here?
Would u recommend driving or tours in Iceland? I want to do a lot of the stuff but through tours itll be very expensive :( also how far apart are all these popular places?
Thanks this was great. We are going in October. Can you share top things to do in Akureyri northern iceland? Thank you
we went on a whale watching trip in Akureyri. are you coming from the east or west fjords? there is another hot spa/pot spot east of akureyri that was really great
+Wolters World we will be driving up from Reykjavik so from the west. We'll be there Saturday-Tues morning.
im coming to iceland on friday
lucky man!!!!! have fun!
thanks for the video mark. I was just curious about how much walking is involved in Iceland and can you uber around ? thank you and also please give us some show recommendations
+Aaron Diamond lots of hiking and walking with all the nature stuff. We rented a car so not sure on uber
Need help please... I will be making a quick stop at Keflavik International Airport en route to Oslo. My layover is for twenty-six (26) hours only, which I did on purpose just to really get a little taste of Reykjavik. My trips to Europe always make a stop there for a few hours so this time I thought I'd extend it. Can you please suggest where I can spend a good portion of my layover, where to stay overnight, including transportation maybe. I like the idea of checking out the old town, having local drinks and cuisine, and a little shopping. It's a good thing I get to Keflavik before 9:00 AM mid September, so I will have all day to explore. Thank you in advance. Thanks for the video post by the way. Thumbs up!
Jeremy Jo You should go to Saegreifinn and eat wonderful fresh fish skewers 😊 Not too expensive (by Icelandic standards) and you can try several different fish in one meal. I can also recommend joining the Facebook group Iceland Travel Team, and asking your question there. Lots of people that are happy to help you out.
Ok I'm going to Greece (Athens, Naxos, and Santorini) for my honeymoon and I'd love to see a video from one of those places! 👰🏼⛱😇
+jennbroussard we have a couple old videos on Athens. 5 love and hates. Also some on Greece in general
+Wolters World I meant some new ones from Greece! It'll give you a reason to go there lol! Thanks for the reply :)
jennbroussard Santorini is really cool!!!
9:07 - That bar really tied the city together.
;)
+Wolters World do u think I should spend some of my time in Iceland in the West fjords??? What can I see there??
Iceland looks awesome, by any chance, will you do videos in Japan like love & hates, shocking, what to see, things should know before we go to Japan cause I wanna go Japan?, I had friends there. :)
I don't have any videos on Japan yet. We are slowing moving away from all the Europe videos and trying to get more south America videos, but we are looking to expand our Asian videos from next year. So hopefully Japan will be coming soon
Thank you, can't wait :)
How long can you stay inside the blue lagoon? I am going next May2022
A video about cuisine would be nice
I have one of those. I just need to edit together. So hopefully it will be out in the next couple weeks.
This is my route to USA in October to Boston $228
Hi Mark it's Gary from Liverpool here I've wanted to go to Iceland all my life i'm very frustrated that I've still never been. is it really worth visiting? be honest..Please respond Mark
Wait! You can pet the puffins! Where? My wife will lose her mind. We will be there in 9 days for just over a week.
Hi Mark why no mention of the northern lights?
Are museums free in Reykjavik?
is Iceland vegetarian/vegan friendly?
thanks for sharing your photos, your kids seem to have fun everywhere they go :)
Haven't been there but from what I have heard from fellow vegetarians travelling there is that it is very expensive which makes sense because most of the fruit and vegetables have to be imported. Maybe Mark can tell you more. I only know from people who went there.
I live there and you can find stuff if you're veggie! Most burger places have veggie burgers (American-ish restaurants are very popular in Iceland). You can get many vegetarian snacks (famous dairy products like Skyr) but vegan is a little bit more difficult (I'd recommend Reykjavik Chips for fries). If you want vegan food you can always go to Bonus (the most famous grocery store chain) and buy the vegan bowl (labeled vegan) or the vegan wrap. Most restaurants are vegetarian friendly downtown Reykjavik (except maybe for restaurants that specialize in Seafood) and there are a few veggie restaurants but most of them also offer fish/chicken options like Glo. My advice is to look up happy cow dot com before your visit. (and yes like Kaylia1991 said it might be expensive but all restaurants are expensive in Iceland except for fastfood) *plus sushi, indian and italian food are offered downtown so obviously they have options too. Hope this helped :)
+DrawingEllipse thank you
where did you rent your car?
New subscriber here. One question: how the hell does he go to so many countries in such a short period? Is he sponsored? Just rich? Also, does he and his family go to all these countries over the period of a few months creating an archive and posting them when appropriate or does he travel to all these countries consecutively?
+istheseattaken I am a college professor so I have school holidays off and we travel every chance we get.
please invest in a wind screen for you mic
Was this visit a stopover on your way to continental Europe ?
+SkandikFilm we actually stayed this time
Hi Mark, is there a good nightlife in Reikjavik??
+nach sol you know I saw some bars and things but as I am an old guy now with little kids I can't really say. That's why I stick with day time travel recommendations. Now if it was 10 years ago you better believe I would have some clubs and doormen's names to help you out :)
Puffin, mmm yum. Does it taste like Kangaroo?
cold chicken ;)
Gumardee Noooo poor puffins 😓

It's normal to eat whale meat here in Northern Norway. It's pretty good.
No.
Where in Northern Norway are you? I've been to Tromsø twice and I absolutely loved it. Greetings from England!
***** I live in Steigen kommune.
i dont get why people get so upset over whalemeat. if they are killed and not tortured the grill is ready
André Riber We should eat dogs too then?
I thought the Blue Lagoon was over-rated. Sorry.
why there are no good videos on Russia. we are struggling here. no info more or less
please go to Pakistan it is also a very very beautiful country
I'm sure he doesn't want to go there. Him going to Pakistan would be suicide, he should rather go to India.
stupid people think that going to Pakistan is suicide and I am asking him to go not you so its none of your buisness
He's not going. That's like telling him to go to Syria.
No, it is not like that there I am from Norway and I went there last year and I will be honest with you that I loved that trip so so much. It is such a beautiful country just lookup on google beauty of Pakistan or northern areas of Pakistan. When you will look the pics then you see how beautiful that country really is. I even think it is more beautiful than Norway. I went there last year and I am going again this year. but our this year's plan was to go to Italy but that country is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more beautiful than Italy. If you do not want to go there you are missing on one of the best places in the world but if other people wanna go that is none of your business and as far is the security is concerned in the northern areas there is police and rangers of Pakistan because for the protection of foreign tourists and wherever we went there were rangers force telling us where to go and where not to go there is so peace there I love it so so much there and I would encourage everyone who loves peace and quite in my opinion the most heavenly place on earth.
Then go live there. We don't need your kind in Europe.
Pure tourist traps. Avoid the Blue Lagoon , costs a fortune , it's a man made pool made for tourists . If you want man made go in the hot tubs in the swimming pool or go natural out in the countryside.
Great place but if you want to eat or drink it costs a fortune ........I had a unicorn burger £35
don't shower the water is terrible.
OMG I was 11 when we were there. I feel I am getting old.
There's nothing wrong with the water, in fact it's among the cleanest in the world. But they heat water geothermically so the hot water smells of sulphur. Personally I liked the smell when I visited Iceland, but I understand some people may not.
yeah, I have the water in my 5 hates of the city. Sulphur shower anyone :)
They eat seahorses in Iceland. Seahorses!!
Carlena Probert They eat lamb head, whale, puffin, shark...
we do not eat seahorses ! hahah hillarious
