Anyone been to Iceland? Looking for recommendations, what to see, stat etc.

What time of year & how long will you stay?
Are you wanting to roadtrip around the island or do day trips from 1-2 locations?
For things to do, are you looking for active things or more like "go & see"?

Here is a previous thread: https://texags.com/forums/54/topics/3558427/replies/70990539

I've had clients visit there on a group tour and had a great time. I have clients going on an 18 day Iceland and Greenland tour this year as well.

Happy to help if you need assistance, email is in my profiel

Looking at summer and tour around the island and things to see or do. Places to eat. Etc

My clients did a tour with Collette. There are other vendors as well who have a whole package. The good thing is you are paired with a local expert.

As soon as we can start locking things down, I'll reach out to you

Here's what I've done for folks in the past


Hotel Suggestions: The Reykjavik EDITION, ION Adventure Hotel, Htel Kra, or Hotel Rangfor easy access to nature.

What to Do: Explore Reykjavk, Golden Circle, Snfellsnes Peninsula, South Coast with waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches, and dramatic coastal scenery.

Experiences: Seljalandsfoss, Skgafoss, Reynisfjara Beach, ingvellir National Park, Jökulsrln, Diamond Beach

Food: OX, Tides Restaurant Friheimar Tomato Greenhouse, Narfeyrarstofa, Efstidalur Ice Cream, Food tour in Reykjavik

Would be happy to answer any questions or help put something together. Best of luck!

I've been twice (my only repeat visit to a foreign country). The first time we did all the usual things, and the second we did more out of the way stuff. Let me know if you want either itinerary!

Lots of great recs already but one more hotel that wasn't mentioned that's worth a stay is the Umi Hotel.

Also I definitely did not appreciate just how desolate it can be. Everyone said "there's no where to stop or eat" but there's really nothing. Would highly recommend loading up on some stuff while in Reykjavik.

Iceland is incredible. Make sure you allocate a day for a "Super Jeep" tour. Ours was a modified 80s van with massive tires. They will take you offroad into the interior and you will see stuff you can't get to on the normal tours.

It's otherworldly terrain.

We went in August which is the warmest time of year. Avg daily temp was about 50 when we there so it was perfect. I'm not sure I would want to go there in actual winter. You can still do all kinds of winter stuff in August like hike glaciers, etc.

I've planned out 10 days in Iceland for June. The only hole I have in my itinerary is a full day in Reykjavik. That'll either be exploring the city or doing some sort of excursion. I've looked at the Super Jeep tours. Do you think that's the move?

Hit up the Sky Lagoon if you're in Rek for a day. That was one of our favorites.

I do. We loved it and it was possibly our favorite part of the trip. As part of that tour, you can do some hikes as well.

Which tour did you book, if you remember?

Man, I don't remember. We did it through some Icelandic group website thing that was the popular channel at the time to do such things.

This helps you none. Unfortunately, I didn't save any of those sites from back then.

The ***** museum is…umm…memorable as well
