Iceland Travel Tips

Iceland is one everyone’s bucket list, and for good reason. The country is safe, easy to navigate, and the scenery feels like you are on another planet.

Iceland is also a short flight from the East Coast of the US and many major European capitals, making a stop over easy.

How much does 1 week in Iceland really cost?

Iceland is becoming quite popular, and this small island nation has adapted to serve more tourists each year.   But, it can still be quite pricy to visit, especially for Americans who may be used to low fuel prices and cheap fast food. We visited in the summer of 2017 when AirBnBs were available on family farms and hotels were hard to come by.

We took a guided day trip to Landmannalaugar with Arctic Adventures and fell in love with the rambling F-roads, and the unspoiled beauty of this area.  If you are enjoying a road trip in Southern Iceland or even just taking day trips from Reykjavik, we highly recommend adding the highlands to your Iceland bucket list.
