Good information

Thanks! How beautiful...

No

I live in Montana....first and for most.....!!!SLOW DOWN!!!

I’m so tired of this click bait stuff that made me overpack a bunch of crap I didn’t need for my Iceland trip last June.

Loving that there is a website for stupid tourist things. Hope this might actually prevent some of the idocacy that happens in Iceland. I live in a tourist coastal town in the US and it is a love/hate relationship. However, locals do love when the high tourist season ends so we can go back to our local spots. I found Iceland to be fabulous and am glad visit while my daughter is there for graduate school. I know I'll miss the visits when she leaves.

What about nursing jobs,is it easy to find?

Hi im planning to travel through the island from October 18th to October 26th 2025 for 8 Nights. Do you think I can go round all the route 1 or is better travel round the south ?

Mr jan am from pakistan and work in turkey and can you help me for workpermit of iceland

I had a similar encounter with a pair of Black Kites (hawk) flying way too close to my drone when I was vacationing at Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. I noticed my omni-directional obstacle avoidance warning appeared on the screen from above and since I have the drone in by-pass mode, it reacted by dropping in altitude. I looked up and immediately saw two birds of prey circling over my drone and coming in for a closer look. Luckily, they didn't attack my drone. Since then, I have put red reflective tapes all over my drone as birds tend to be cautious of reflective tapes that are red in color.

So it's pretty much like driving in Wisconsin every winter.

Great info Jan, Good tips and Common Sense, thanks again

Good accent Jan, I just visited, it was great cold and expensive but did it on a budget and stayed at the Bus Hostel. If I visit again I would come in summer and hire a car, though the merc limo tours were good. Wanted to see the Volcano and the lights, but they eluded me this time. Great Country. Merry Christmas.

I’ve done both summer & winter, neither bothered me. But you’re right, summer is a lot more expensive 🤷‍♀️

Spent 5 days in Iceland recently - Reykjavik, South coast to Jökulsarlon, up to Snaefellsnes via Borganes, up to Akureyri via Kirkjufell, down to Grindavik, and finally to Keflavik again. This was during the last week of October. I would have preferred to do it earlier in the year. Firstly: That late in the season, it was impossible to go tourist fishing in the sea. I had to try my luck in the harbors. Secondly: when one is going together with someone who is not an experienced driver on snow conditions, but still think that they are good at it, the mountain passes southwest of Akureyri beome downright scary.

That's a really great and helpful video! Thank you for this valuable content

Nice tips! I want to plan a trip to Iceland next year in September. I don't have a license so I'm limited to buses and walking. I made some research and my plan is to use Straeto from Reykjavik to Vik and made some walking in different days to Reynisfjara, Dyrholey and Yoda Cave. After I plan to go with Straeto from Vik to Hofn and walking from Hofn to Vastrahorn. Return from Hofn to Reykjavik by plane. Do you think is it possible?

Really helpful tips. :-) I’m autistic and crowds can be very overwhelming and I lose sight of what I went to see and why I’m there. Thank you :-)

Spot on Jan.

Great video ...thank you for all the work ... #spinalfusionguyonabike

I cycle toured Norway in 2018 from oslo to Nordkapp via Bergen 3,511kms ..sometimes cycling at 0200hrs in the morning... Talk about quiet

Business as usual. Iceland is amazing. If I was a skier I would definetily come to that area.

bro is this near Reykjavik

📌PEASE NOTE : If you are already registered as a drone operator in another EASA member state, you do not need to register in Iceland.

Another great video! Jan, you show the registration and exam fee to be 5500 ISK. Then, later on you say the exam is completely free? Isn't the exam part of the fee? I know I'm probably nitpicking here. Just trying to make sense. I get that rules are necessary, otherwise Iceland will become like the Wild West with tourists doing everything they want without caring about others. However, remote ID? What is that even? Some big brother type surveillance where they can track your drone in order to issue fines in case you fly over an area marked as restricted or during those hours you're not supposed to?

How is the weather in Iceland for March regarding the auroras? Is it better March than February? I went to Iceland late November early December in 2023 but I want to go back.

Hello Jan, it is not very clear to me why should I pay for the registration if I already have a valid A1-A3 license and my drone is already registered in a EU country (Italy in my case), can you explain this step as in the video is not clear and it looks like after you pay for the registration you need to take the exam (if your drone is over 250gr) or obtain a Icelandic ID to fly a sub-250gr drone...

Thank you for this update! Iceland is listed since some time as EASA-country with the rules you explained here. It’s way better to go with drones over 250g since wind/weather are always a topic in Iceland.

Thanks Jan. While I don’t have a trip planned back to Iceland any time soon, it’s always good to know about changes. I am licensed in the US and Canada and am registered with the EU and both my drones are as well, so I’ll have to verify that I don’t have to do anything other than add Remote ID information to my controller. Here in the US we also require Remote ID. It’s in the software in my <250g drone but I have an external module for my older, >250g drone so I’ll have to check on that. Spain just changed their rules as well and with this mess in New Jersey here in the US, I predict more regulations coming here too that will make it harder for those of us who follow the rules.

Had amazing sushi in Akureyri ...that zone is sick.

I’ve booked a trip Iceland in Nov’25 and I will be driving. I’m from the UK, so driving on the right with a left hand wheel has made me nervous even more😂

Looks brilliant & beautiful but I’m thinking I may have to put off my trip till 2026 😢 new hip next week but I’ll be back better than ever & stronger 😊

hello i am Ajin Ms like to work as a Nurse in Iceland can you help me this ,or can you able to share me the agency in Iceland that helps to find the job

Great video as always!

this sums the magic up ... niceland, here I come ...

I also worry for Greenland 🇬🇱. It’s heading into tourism hell and building/destroying the country to accommodate it.

Scotland is ruined by Tourism. The west coast of old will NEVER be the same, or will the beautiful nature of the people. Sad world we live in

Hi Jan, thanks for another awesome video. Especially enjoyed seeing the White snow either in the Natural Sunlight or Artificial light when dark. Weather can be so unpredictable and you have to realize that sometimes you will win and sometimes you will lose unfortunately.

That everyone speaks English is a big reason I choose Iceland for my first international trip. I am currently working on learning at least some Icelandic. I am somewhat embarrassed that I only know English…pretty lame. Been watching all the volcano eruptions via live stream. I can’t get enough. Currently planning to return in September to the Borganes area.

Great Video, will be back next April⛷up North 👍

we're visiting this christmas! your video was so helpful! thanks so much

Hi sir, I'm from India and I'm a Hospitality worker. I can work in housekeeping and waiter as well. I know that you can't break you country law and regulations helping for us. But i request you which way is better to find a full time jobs that means no session Work. I would like to work in Iceland for many years. So your single advice can lead me to find a job or any employer there in Iceland. Thanks for your Clear information about the real scenario in Iceland. Þakka þér fyrir 🙏

Great information 👍🏻

where is the wave

I have been to Iceland already 4 times. Last one being September 2024. I can tell that I didn't like it. Too crowded. My quota of Iceland is over. If I ever travel next; I will only go to the remote locations of highland. The common places are completely spoiled. I liked your sentence. Zoo feeling. Exactly that. I am done with route no 1 of Iceland!

Hej, Jan Thanks for sharing such a valuable info

Hey Jan, thanks for the informative Video. I've been thinking about visiting the week before christmas, but as you mentioned the limited amount of daylight time is really putting me off, as there are so many great places along the Golden Circle I'd like to see. What I got from the video is that, I can still get to enjoy the wintry atmosphere in Feburary or March. One thing I would like to ask is, how long would you recommend for a stay which covers the golden circle and a day or 2 just exploring Reykjavik?

Wow, great video. So many great places. It looks very quiet and remote. I was nearby (Varmahlíð) a few years ago, but never realized how beautiful it was.

Hi Jan.I really enjoy your videos.I will be visiting Iceland again in February 2025.I know it’s winter but would love snowy photographs.I live in Ireland where snow is a novelty😂
