What are the best things to see and do in Iceland?

Going to Iceland, in Nov- we have 4 days & 3 nights, suggestions on "must do things" &/or""must see places"?

  • Please let me know what you have seen/done and a bit of details. There will be 2 adults traveling. Thanks for your help.

  • Answer:

    1. Do the Blue Lagoon, but don't do it with a combination tour. We did a combo tour that included breakfast, Blue Lagoon, and a whale watching tour. But it only gave us about 2 hours in the Blue Lagoon. You'll want more time with that. It's a wonderfully relaxing place. If you can afford it, you can get a massage or other spa treatments. 2. The Classic Golden Circle tour (offered by a number of companies) is a great way to see a lot of Iceland in one tour. You see geysers, waterfalls and other interesting parts of Iceland. 3. If you are a hiker, they have a number of glacier hikes that are cool. A great opportunity! 4. Whale watching is a great activity. *** Be aware before you go: the cost of living in Iceland is much much different than in the US (I'm assuming you are US, but this info can be helpful if you are from somewhere else). The average income in Iceland in USD 200,000 a year. Which means everything is expensive. It cost of about $20.00 for 2 burgers, 1 fry & 2 sodas at the video store across the street from our Inn. All food has to be imported as they can't grow their own anything. Bananas at the supermarket were $5.00 a pound. We were a little thrown off by the differences, so I'm giving you the heads up so you are more prepared. Also, nearly all the tour excursions are worth the price. They pick you up at the hotel, they handle all your transportation costs (way cheaper than a cab), some of them include meals. Also, it's really cold. I know that being from Florida, my definition of cold is a little wussy, but it was really really cold. Everyone on our tours was wearing 66 North or North Face cold gear and they were very comfortable. I was wearing layer after layer and was still cold. Next time, I'll splurge on the cold gear, its thinner and more insulated - they were much more comfy. FYI: I went in May.

Mr. Cat

the Blue Lagoon, sort of a geothermal spa. there are geysers, Pingvellir National Park, Skogafoss, Golfoss (I think I spelled them right). But when I went a few years ago it was August, and it was sweater weather already, not sure how cold it may be in Nov. Just bundle up, get in the car and drive. That's what we did and we came across many interesting things.
