ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ม.ค. 2025
- In early October, we spent 10 days travelling all the way around Iceland on a group tour.
This was a bespoke tour I organised with Intrepid travel and put on sale to you guys that follow my channel!
15 of us went exploring round Iceland with a local guide, experiencing so many of the country’s highlights.
In this first episode we travel from Reykjavik to the main sites of the Golden Circle. We managed to see the Northern Lights on the first night of the trip!
At Jökulsárlón we cruised between icebergs on the glacier lagoon, before hiking into an ice cave.
We made our way to the beautiful town of Seydisfjordur in the East Fjords, before visiting Hengifoss, relaxing in the Vök Baths and then settling down at our farm stay in Möðrudalur.

Finally 🎉 I was waiting for this one ☃️ Wishing you more happy travels in good health and joy Karl 😇🥳✨
Which month did u go there ??
hi I'm from China and my name is Li. I watched the vlog video you posted on TH-cam and really like this way of traveling. I also have a dream of living and traveling around the world. If you haven't posted it on Chinese video platforms, I will translate and upload your video to Chinese video platforms to share with more people. Do you agree? Of course, I will mark your TH-cam account and video address. Looking forward to your reply.
WOW WOW WOW!!!!! This is SO much better than a documentary by a TV program. I'm a wobbly walking 76 year old, so trips like this would be out of the question now. Keep them coming Karl Weston.😊
Why this channel is so underrated. I had to go through a lot of videos to find this one. Keep up the great work
You’ve got a knack for story telling through your videos that is so enjoyable to watch! Looks like an amazing experience. I would love to go on one of your trips.
More trips coming in 2023 😊
This is so much fun to watch. I am an Icelander, and seen all these places, been there done that kind of thing. But soooo much happiness to see you guys enjoying it. Would have liked to been there with you. Love that Lárus told you the mountain troll stories ❤
Iceland! Maybe the best travel documentary video I have ever watched! What a fun group of people! Your videos are absolutely amazing…thank you so much for sharing with all of us😎 Can’t wait for your next adventure!
Absolutely loved the 1st episode. Breathtaking northern lights, the scenery omg just amazing and your way of bringing this trip to life is as if I am actually there. What a fabulous group of people too. Cannot wait for Part 2. 💖😀
Thanks Jackie 😊😊
@@karlwatsondocs How you have only 186k subs is beyond me
Your videos inspire me so much! Just amazing!!
I am headed there this mid June 2023 with a good friend and cannot wait to enjoy all these beautiful landscapes you have shown us. Awesome video and great bunch you travelled with.
Another epic video Karl! Laughter, tears and everything in between! Absolutely loved it!!
Man getting hit by a truck of nostalgia. I did the first trip of my life with Intrepid to Iceland in 2022 in hardcore winter and Coincidentally Larus was our guide too. An amazing soul also met amazing group of people on that trip and made some unforgettable memories. Also y'all stayed at some of the places we stayed at😅 reliving all those memories through your video man!
I was stationed there in the Navy from 2001-2003. Its absolute perfection! I miss it soo...:(
this video REALLY encourages me to do better and better everyday so that i can travel around this amazing world (just like you:)))). I bet this journey is unforgetable for you (and also for me:33). thanks you SOOOOO much for bringing me to this breathtaking, wonderful video
Another epic excellent production! Thank you for sharing. I enjoy so much sharing your journey with this group. So spectacular, so much fun. Iceland is not for me, but I would certainly love to join one of your trips. I love love love Northern Lights. I love your episode on Switzerland (Grinderweld to Zermat). I watch episode 1 on Switzerland, yet to watch Italy and Croatia, and episode 1 on Iceland. Gosh, you deserve an Oscar for your documentaries ! Congratulations for the good work. 👍👍👍👏👏
I love your videos Karl! They are very simple in a good way, you are not trying to be someone who you are not and we all appreciate it!
Got a good chuckle at the clip of “don’t go chasing waterfalls.” Enjoyed this immensely.
Man, your travel documentaries are better than Discovery channel! Congratulations for the huge amount of work you put into creating these videos! 👏👏👏
Well, you have your first two entries for a “10 things not to do in Iceland” video:
1. Have an Icelandic hot dog without “the works” (including the remoulade relish and the special brown hot dog mustard).
2. Refer to said hot dog as a “normal hot dog.” 😂
Jokes aside, thoroughly enjoyed your video. Driving the ring road with my family this summer and can’t wait. I’ve done the full trip 3 times in my life but there’s always something new to explore. 😃
Both Videos gave me back joy of living , thank you so much.
Sensational Group of people full of smiles and laughter :) Congratulations to Karl and all on the tour!
Thanks! 😊
OMG Iceland is more stunning than I imagined. I could spend hours photographing those beautiful landscapes. And your new voice over guy Walid has an dreamy voice.
Haha he sure does 😊
WOW! INCREDIBLE!! I was contemplating going in July, but after watching this, you have me sold on October!! I HAVE to see those beautiful ice caves! What an amazing trip! I can not wait to go!! Bucket list memories, for sure!
Nice 10days traveling from Reykjavik to the East Fjords visiting tourists spots in Iceland. Watched till the end. Tnx4sharing your memorable journey.

One of the best and authentic documentary ever seen about Iceland!
Want to visit the island in 2024🥲❤️

The irony of living in Iceland. I never did the Ring Road - or many other typical tourist attractions. Maybe i should travel my own country some day.
Karl, the music editing in this one made a huge difference. Your talent really really on display. Fantastic stuff!
Thanks! 😊
