10 Things to Pack For a Summer Trip in Iceland

[@gerardriordan1458]

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.

As an Icelander I can vouch for all of these tips, they are all very good.

[@janiniceland]

@@Sindrijo thanks Sindri! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Excellent video; I’ve seen several vids about summer travel and you are the first to stress the importance of a bug net….thanks

[@janiniceland]

Thank you! I think it totally makes sense to get one. I use it very rarely but when I need it, I'm always super thankful I have one in the pack.

Thanks a lot for your very informative videos. I'm planning my trip for May 2025 and your tips are gold. I had my first encounter with midges in the isle of Skye in Scotland and, well, they are much worse than mosquitos. You also mentioned drones and I've just realized you made a video on drone regulations about a year ago - I'll watch it now. Are there any changes since then? Thanks again for your great videos an greetings from Brazil.

[@janiniceland]

thank you so much! Yeah I heard that the Scottish midges are hell! Never experienced icelandic midges biting....but some people say they do...Reagrding drones, no changes as far as I know :)

Sir, please 🙏 meka a video for . 10 things for winter season in Iceland.

[@throughthewindowpane]

Great video! I bought a phone with a good camera including some zoom, so I didn’t have to bring a seperate camera. That worked quite well for me.

[@janiniceland]

thank you! Glad to hear - Like I mentioned I think that can be more than enough for many people + having just a phone definitely makes things more practical, too

Hi Jan, thanks for this video about 10 Things to Pack for your Summer trip to Iceland. Hope that you have a good Summer Season of renting out your Airbnb. I'm sure with the amount of tourists traveling there in the Summer months it should workout well for you.

[@janiniceland]

Hello Ben! Thank you, yes it should be a good season here. but very busy. I hope I will have some time for some travels around the island, too!

[@crandallcrute3918]

Thanks Jan - great video as always!

[@janiniceland]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@robertshaver1612]

Thank you. Relevant and practical.

[@janiniceland]

Thank you Robert!

[@1258-Eckhart]

Hi Jan, another thing I want to compliment you on is your excellent English 💯. You have an amazing stock of good idioms which you use like a native, which for a Czech in Iceland is a real achievement.

[@janiniceland]

Thanks buddy that means a lot! Still a ton to improve on, especially my eastern European accent but the fact that 90% of my daily life is in English definitely helps a lot. The real challenge now is to start learning and improving on my Icelandic haha

[@1258-Eckhart]

@@janiniceland Your accent is charming, no problem! Use the articles "the" and "a" more often (a typical eastern European trait), but that is only a slight correction at a very high level. 👍👍👍

@@janiniceland Betra er seint en aldrei!

[@amberzable5608]

I’ve watched this 3 times!l Thank you Jan 😊 Iceland trip 🇮🇸 July 2024

[@janiniceland]

Glad it's helpful Amber :) fingers crossed for a lot of t-shirt weather days in July!

[@samt.1369]

​@@janinicelandNooo! I want harsh weather too because I bought an authentic lopapeysa on Ebay and wanted to bring it to Iceland this July 🤣

[@Mkaela90]

Me too July 15-24

[@janiniceland]

@@samt.1369 haha, well be careful what you wish for 😅

[@redesignedlife777]

Thanks for the bug net idea. Game changer. Better than smacking my face every 45 seconds. Lol

[@janiniceland]

haha absolutely!

[@obiomadike]

Thank you. This is super insightful! Coming in July

[@bevinboulder5039]

Great tips! Are those the same as the midges in Scotland? They are the vilest insects on planet earth. but in Scotland they only come out around sunrise and sunset. Hm. No sunset in Iceland in summer. Hm.

[@janiniceland]

thanks! I'm not sure, but from my experience - i've never been bitten by them. some people say they do bite though, and i've even seen photos of people with bite marks all over them. could be more species here

[@Raven.Mad.Hatter]

​@@janiniceland yeah they bite, they gave me a lovely bracelet of bites on my right wrist. 7 bites around my wrist, 3 more on the same arm and 4 more in different places 😅

[@ywueeee]

what's the exact period considered summer in iceland?

[@janiniceland]

Approximately late May/early June till end of August/early September
