My "14 days in Iceland" itinerary is now available: 👉shop.allansu.com/b/Ahedb
This is an updated itinerary based on this video. It will cover topics such as car rental, accommodations, f-roads, and travel budget. It will include "Google Maps" hyperlinks to every location for easy wayfinding and you'll also find my "Custom Google Maps" for Iceland with saved pins and locations that follow the itinerary.
Other travel vloggers should watch this and learn. No annoying music, no stories about themselves, no pretending to act cute and funny. Just straight information and beautiful editing. I'm using only your 2 videos for our upcoming trip in July as our guide. Thanks!
Ironically, we shoot more for information but it rarely works. People typically want more "you"
Let me know how your trip goes, I’m going in September
There are other types of viewers who enjoy those things
I 100% agree...
@@itzPrismo how was it?
This has to be the best travel video I've seen in a long time. Not only was it helpful but very enjoyable to watch. You've got spectacular talent, you should be proud of this video.
Facts
I'm Icelandic and I'm very impressed by your videos about Iceland. Very good production ❤
Hello.. I just want to know if we go to these places and come back to the same hotel everyday in Reykjavik or keep going from one to another along with the trip? We are planning on going to Iceland in June for at most 8 days and don’t know how far the places are from each other.. thank you
@@sarahsarah4337 hi, it's a good question. But some places are pretty far. If you want to see for example Gullfoss and Geysir one day it's not that far and you can just return to your hotel the same day. But if you take the ring road it takes up to 3 days.
@@sarahsarah4337
How are your trip in June?
And what about your stay? Have you keep going from one to another hotel along with your trip?
I would like to visit in June and have a local guide. Does anybody know someone in Reykjavik?
What an absolutely beautiful video and what a ridiculously epic country Iceland is. I knew it was pretty but this hammered that home in ways I’ve never seen before. Thank you for producing this!
I would go to a movie theatre to watch your stuff. Your cinematic footage is insane
Dear Allen, just returned from this year's 14 day Iceland trip and your video served us beyond the visual brilliance as well as guideline what sights to visit. It was also an inspiration to soak in the special atmosphere of this magnificent country and the experience of a longer road trip itself. The sights in Iceland south are numerous and lined up like on a chain, so after a long day it was merely hard to remember what we saw just in 12 hours.
Your videos can create the impression that Iceland is an empty, tranquil country for those who seek contemplation. Well , to be honest that is not the truth. Tourism is picking up again quickly and the major sights are 24/7 invaded by hordes of tourists in hunt for another useless and ever-same instagram selfie. Everybody seems to be in a hurry and these are not the spots to relax and enjoy the beauty. Obviously icelanders have decided for mass tourism without any limitation, and that's what happening now.
Nevertheless, if you deviate from the main track, go on a hike or just leave the ring road, there are plenty of opportunities to find your own quiet version of Iceland, and for this your videos are always an inspiration. Thanks for so many good emotions while watching them and carry on with your art !
Brilliant. Thanks for the comment. And you're completely right. There's nothing better than going off the beaten track when exploring a new country.

@@sarahsarah4337 A lot of those places are several hours drive from Reykjavik. You would not want to/be able to do that much driving to/from Reykjavik. There are other little villages and towns or random little guest houses you can stay in in other parts of the country.
This was brilliant. From the visuals to the narration, makes me feel like I'm in Iceland already. Thank you!
Jaw-droppingly stunning video and photography of Iceland! Such a diverse landscape, on the bucket list for sure. 👌
Such an incredible trip! I was in Iceland just in September, and seeing your video I realize how much MORE there is to see. One thing remains, however, Iceland is so fricken gorgeous!! Thank you so much for sharing!
This was beautiful, amazingly filmed plus clearly and calmly narrated! I also like how you include a good mix of popular and slightly off the beaten track places. Watching this was like being in dream!
Exceptionaly well made, well audited video. The presentation, footage and pronounciation of places puts this way above the rest. Congratulations on a fine piece of work.
This video was so well produced, your shots were amazing, and the guide was pretty informative. Awesome stuff.
After viewing so many different videos and channels on TH-cam, I still find that watching your channel always giving me the best enjoyable moment and always intriguing my curiosity to explore the places that I haven’t been to. I really appreciate the gorgeous views you’ve captured, the beautiful pieces of classical music you’ve added in, and the way how you blend the graphic and the music together. To me, your videos and like movies. Thank you Allan, you are an artist.
Hey man, I usually don't write TH-cam comments but just wanted to say that you created a beautiful travel itinerary. Amazing shots and clear info, thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching Lauranne! I appreciate the comment
So beautifully done!!
I don't think I'v ever seen a traveling vlog so informational and equally beautiful. Masterpiece! Thank you
Great work, Allan! One of my favorite channels hands down.
This is by far the best Iceland travel guide I've seen so far. Amazing shots and narration. This is a work of art! Will definitely follow some from this video in my future Iceland travel :)
One of the best travel guides about Iceland! Truly beautiful and well documented. Loved watching it. Thanks for sharing.
this is an amazing video-capturing the essence of iceland's beauty. thank you for all the hard work put into making this!
Excellent video . A joy to watch. So grateful to you Allan for taking the time and effort in putting this together, your a star and a wonderful human being. My wee wife and I will use your experience to do our planned trip to Iceland in 2023. Thanks again and stay safe and enjoy your future adventures. 👍🏴
Just got back from a two week trip there. Your video was so good. My kids loved watching and saying "We went there! We went there!" Love the drone footage. It was neat to see some of these places from a different perspective.
Another well done video of an incredible place. Having lived there for several years I truly appreciate your wonderful information of this amazing land
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I‘ve been to Iceland 8 Times but you brought back the feeling, how it was visiting for the first time and having an adventure! Thanks!
The best travel summary guide ever! Without any unnecessary extras. Thank you for sharing!
This is such a beautiful video and you’ve edited and narrated it so well. I went around the same time as you (2019) and i’m going back this March as I loved it so much, used this video to help me plan and it was so informative. Thank you for the hard work!
I can't believe how soothing and resourceful this video is.
what an adventure… all these places are simply breathtaking and magical… great video Allan…
This video is not only incredibly informative but also so soothing to watch. A real treasure. Thank you for your time and effort and sharing this with us.
Man, this video had been in my "Watch Later" list for a long time. I watched it today, and I understand how gem of a video is this. I am a routine travel video watcher and I have watched videos of almost 84 including Iceland. But this, this editing and the way you edit and present the information with all the combination of land shots, drone shots, map views and all, is something I have never seen. What a beauty this is. I almost clicked the "Subscribe" and "Like" button twice.
What an amazing video. The landscapes, the calm presentation, and the music. Very pleasant. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Germany.
Stunning, breathtaking, picturesque! Thank you for this 30-minute escape from reality. Hoping I get to visit Iceland myself soon.
Excellent. Beautiful coverage, narrative and photography. Feeling all the more compelled to visit once the travel restrictions get over!
Thank you for sharing your experiences in Iceland through this amazing travel documentary. You are extremely talented and hit so many great spots in the country!
You´ve been to more places than me in Iceland, and I go there almost every year to visit family lol. But this was a really good itinerary! Most people just go for a week and do the golden circle, so they miss out on a bunch of amazing places.
Just wow! One of the best videos I have seen in 2022 so far. Congrats on the great trip and the amazing shots you got for us
one of the most beautiful scenery travel docu/vlog i've ever seen. so happy for you Allan ✨😊
I can’t believe this video exists. I’ve watched a bunch of videos and this one is faaaaaaar the best. Now I can finally be in peace and plan my trip. I have no words tell you how thankful I am.
This is an amazing video presentation of a beautiful place. I can't imagine how much work you put into creating this. All I can say is 'thank you so much', and that it is hands down the best Iceland travel video I have seen!! It will be so helpful to us in planning our trip. Thanks again!
Iceland is an amazing country, very picturesque and mysterious. There are so many wonderful places for recreation and excursions. Nature is simply magical. It is definitely worth visiting. Thanks for the great video, it's really calming and relaxing!😲😲😲
This is the best guide to Iceland that I've seen. Been there one time during Winter and now I want to go back there in Summer.
Great job! This is the best guide of Iceland so far. Thanks for all the hard work. This helps me a lot with the research for my Iceland project ✌️
Ey , Thank you a lot for this detailed Itinerary, i'm building mine right now for end of june and this was not only extremely helpful, but beautiful to watch , inspiring and insightful. Much appreciated!
AMAZING!!! Thank you for taking us with you to Iceland virtually! 💙
Iceland has been on my bucket travel list for a long time and next summer my wife and I are planing to final go. This video is amazing and very helpful. Thanks for making it.
One of the best Travel videos!!
Great views, music, editing and description.
Hopefully I'll visit Iceland soon!
I've been to many of these places in Iceland but joined small tour groups. Albeit I didnt have to do the driving, It's certainly a lot better experience to have control of your time and itinerary. Iceland is such an amazing place. I'll definitely go back in the near future. No doubt about it. thanks for this video, it's very informative and relaxing to watch!
This video is litterally eye-opening for me. Thank you for your great story-telling, cinematic scenes and your pace of narrating! so nice!
by FAR the best guide video I've seen from any vloggers, incredible job! I love it
OMGooodness one of the best and most comprehensive Iceland videos I have watched (I've watched alot) I can't wait to go to Iceland. Unfortunately Australia is still under strict lockdown and travel rules 😣 I was thinking Iceland in April / May but now you've made my mind up for me.... late June/July. Thank you for the upload and travel tips.
Love your 14 days series! Please do more!
Your travel videos are excellent! Great on-point information, perfect music tracks, non-annoying dialogue and your photography is simply outstanding. Inspirational in every way - really. After watching this and your Faroe Islands video we are planning a trip to both. Thanks so much 👍
this country and the landscape are just breathtaking
First words that came out of my mouth was *WOW!*
Iceland never comes into my mind, now that I saw it, as an introvert, this is like a dream land for me, wonderful sceneries, mountains, beach, and everything is relaxing, everything is breathtaking.
Thank you so much for this Allan! I will definitely visit Iceland.
also the last few words that came out of my mouth is *WOW! that's expensive*
Thank you so much for all the time you must have put into this. I recently went to Iceland myself, and used your video to help plan the whole trip, it was immensely helpful. The trip was so incredible I am now back watching your video again just to enjoy the country all over again... I already miss it!
Hello.. I just want to know if we go to these places and come back to the same hotel everyday in Reykjavik or keep going from one to another along with the trip? We are planning on going to Iceland in June for at most 8 days and don’t know how far the places are from each other.. thank you
@@sarahsarah4337 if you want to visit all the places, then You keep going. You can use Google maps to figure out the distance between Reykjavík and all those places.
But you can visit some of the places and return to Reykjavik every day.
Amazing! I love your videos and I love Iceland ❤. I just returned from my 11th trip to Iceland. It's wonderful to look at familiar places and always will find something new as well. I look forward to the next video release!
Finally!!! Been waiting for you to drop a video! Staying in on a Saturday night, this is perfect 👌
Allan your visual tour of Iceland is fantastic as were all your other videos of Iceland. The detailed itinerary, recommendations on what to see, vehicle rentals, accommodations, and total trip cost summary leaves nothing to the imagination. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video and the narrated highlights of your trip.
If you have an interest in recreational aviation, I suggest you visit the small Tungubakkar Airport in Mossfellsbaer on your next trip to Iceland. (Mossfellsbaer is a suburb outside of Reykjavik). The airport is especially active during the summer. I think you’ll find the community of pilots to be very welcoming.
Hi can plz reply me what is the budget for a couple or 4 person like for this itenary , TIA .
Nice video as usual. The trip was not too expensive. Thinking of going to Iceland next year.
I'm currently planning a visit in Iceland myself! This video was very well structured and so well made! Thanks alot!!
this world is actually stunning bro
This probably is my first comment on TH-cam in all my years of using it. Probably (if not) the best travel clip I have ever come across.! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so well made video with such many details from your experiences. Appreciate it very much. Truly hope that one day I could step on this land for a visit. Stunning!
Allan, as the world is trying to return to normal, i stumbled across your vlog which was fantastic in terms of content, recommendations and quality editing. But my most favorite part is the 30 minutes of calmness during my Sunday morning ......... cheers.
We just got home from our first trip to Iceland a week ago. It was incredible! What a magical place, we absolutely LOVED every second!
I’m planning a trip! I could use some advice!

@@sarahsarah4337
Hi Sarah,I have the same question like you,but didn't get the answer.
I just guess we need to keep going to another along with the trip.
Waiting for your have done your trip in June and please let me know what do have done with the hotel along your trip.
Iceland is known as the land of ice, water and fire
This can be seen from the flag which has 3 colors, namely blue, white and red
The blue color symbolizes that Iceland has stunning seas, waterfalls, rivers and lakes and lagoons
the white color symbolizes that Iceland has snowy areas, has glaciers and stunning crystal ice caves
The red color symbolizes that Iceland has an active volcano
🙏🤗
This footage is breathtaking! You're an incredibly talented creator! Thanks for sharing.
I must tell u that u've an incredibly pleasant, prof. narrator's pitch, what a gift, not to mention how beautiful every clip u come out with!
I've been to 31 days, in 2019. Magical! I think less than that, you can't enjoy as you should.
lmao going to montana is more magical than Iceland.. I have 2 daughters that live there and i have lived there
Back at it again with the Iceland content!
This place is just special and I plan on visiting it for a second time!
Thank you for making my day!
Incredible work! Amazing place! I have been in Iceland once, but this place is calling you to visit again and again and again.
The best video you could ever ask for. Truely Iceland is a Heaven on Earth. Thank you so much.
Thanks!
Thank you for the super thanks Grant!
it's amazing Allan. The video and sound are awesome. It is on my bucket list for next year. wish you all the best Allan
Thanks for sharing this. Absolutely beautiful shots, editing, and commentary!
Fantastic Allan. Great cinematography and an excellent narrative. Especially since here in Melbourne, Australia, we are just about to come out the world’s longest Covid lockdown of 262 days. Your superb video helps keep the travel dream alive. By the way, I’m very impressed with your pronunciation of those place names!
Thank you Vince. Hopefully, I came close to pronouncing the names correctly
@@AllanSu is there’s way to get the hotels you stayed at shown on a map ?
Traveling to Iceland has been a big dream of mine for a long time. This solidified it big time. I wish money was never an issue. Why does being happy and traveling have to cost so much money?
Travel vloggers take notice, THIS is how it's done. No music, no telling their life story, no cutesy nonsense.
Absolutely first class guide with immensely high quality camera work and a great understated commentary. A gem. I just came back from Madeira and your video was a great brief for my visit. Thank you. Hopefully Iceland will be next.
Hi Allan, amazing videos. Thanks for putting together this amazing 14 days trip. Quick questions, how did you pace your stops and hotel stays. Do you stay at the same hotel for a couple days or at different hotel for each day? It will be great to add to your itinerary where stayed each day. Thanks for consider do this extra addition but it will be super helpful for someone like me who have not got to Iceland and will be the first time. Also, do you have to have cash on you? Thank you very much.
I have the same questions 😢
I have the same question.
Waiting for the info.
Pretty well recorded! Thank you for all your advices. Definitely will be up there soon. Where and when did you book the hostels/motels? Is it better to book the flight and the rental only and then look for places to stay up there? Or did you organize all before you start the trip?
I pretty much organized everything before the trip. But you could also just book things on the go if you don't mind a higher cost.
@@AllanSu @SevisWorld also depending on time of the year hotels and outdoor activities get fully booked! So be aware….Other than that have an amazing time Iceland is a treasure chest… I cannot wait to go back and Allan I don’t know how many times I watched your videos? I loved them all but esp the Iceland ones…all variables you have made😜 Also love the Japan andFaroe islands. I really admire the quality of your editing and story telling
Voila that’s all
Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
What a wonderful video! I love the way it was put together. I especially appreciate the cost analysis breakdown at the end! Thank you!
the best of the best video, with calm music and a soft voice describing the itinerary. congratualations my friend
Wow, super professional video. So much better than the typical blog video! Others don't do the research, and point the camera at themselves 99% of the time.
Instead, you let Iceland be the star of your video. This could easily be a national geographic show. Nice work!
Very impressed with your work allan, if i may suggest, i think most of your viewers might find these topics interesting as well:
1. What tech and how do you bring all these filming gears (drones, gopro, tripod)
2. How you pack for trips (it seems like you always carry lightly, so its quite impressive)
3. Do you cook during your road trips? if yes what are the groceries you usually buy for the trips
I was about to ask the same (first) question, as it looks like one of those trips that NEEDS a drone to fully enjoy...?
@@Tricia_K definitely a drone is a must given how majestic these iceland terrains are from the top
Thanks for making me fall in love with this beautiful country and this beautiful world. I believe life is nothing if we do not see the beauty of this world. Your video has given me inspiration to live a life like yours i.e. to explore the world. Thanks Allan. Much love.
Iceland is amazing. It is breathtaking everywhere to look.
Thanks, it’s on my list… any issues flying my drone, do I need permit?

Hey, Allan! Great video as always! *About the budget:* Was it 3400 for each one of you (splitting) or 3400 total cost for both (combined)? Your content brings me such a great joy and peace. Thank you!!
It's clearly written at the top

Wow! Absolutely great cinematography and pertinent narration! Thank you for sharing your wonderful work!
This is so beautifully made, thank you for this video. One of the best! You gave really great tipps and your shots are breathtaking!!!
Amazing Video Allan. Blown away by your documentary of Iceland 🇮🇸
The word is STUNNING! Loved the camera work and editing 😍 Thank you for this video
This video is spectacular and mindful at the same time, exactly like Iceland.
Thank you for sharing this video with us.

Beautiful video! Loved the imagery and the narration. Looking forward to more in the future!
Thanks for the video! You made me want to go there! I hope that I will visit Iceland soon and follow your bits of advice!
Your passion for your subject is truly inspiring. Keep spreading knowledge!
@Allan Su….absolutely hands down the best video I have seen in a long long time…thank you for such detailed review…absolutely loved it!!!
