Great video! Do you mind saying how much the cost was for your 7-day road trip? Thank you!

[@Jilody13]

Also is this a manual car or automatic? Thanks again!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Hey. It was €690pp. The jeep was manual. You can request auto but it isn’t guaranteed. I wanted auto thinking it would be easier but it didn’t make much difference since it’s a fairly flat country with such open roads so was an easy drive either way.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

@@Jilody13 Hey. It was manual. They can't guarantee auto but I did ask for that. But it turned out the roads were so easy, it wasn't an issue.

[@Jilody13]

@@SuitcaseMonkey Thank you for the information!

I visited Iceland a few years ago, in February/March when the country was cloaked in snow. It was a small group tour and was one of the most amazing overseas holidays I have ever experienced. Thanks to Suitcase Monkey for this very entertaining video that included many of the locations I visited. I’d highly recommend Iceland as a travel destination, and add on a coastal cruise of Norway while you’re in that part of the world.

[@mum_with_the_peacock_tattoo]

One of your best! I have been missing your videos, I’d love a weekly one. I love your humour, I spat my coffee out when you mentioned TLC 😂

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Haha. Thank you. Yeah this one is a personal favourite already

[@ronroelevink7097]

This brings back memories. We did an almost similar roadtrip and can't agree more: Iceland is a must see place. The landscape keeps surprising you. Food is expensive but also of high quality, even in remote, small villages. Thank you for these lovely images.

[@JsRandomShots]

Wow, the scenery is breathtaking! It’s always inspiring to see new places through the eyes of someone who really enjoys exploring. Makes me want to add this destination to my list! Thanks for sharing such an amazing adventure!

[@MrRolandMichel]

Paul! You are The Suitcase Monkey, and we are all very grateful for that fact! Another truly well done, and complete video delivered, with the humour we have come to expect.

[@carolinaa.4407]

Liking before watching because I know good quality is ahead. Thanks Paul 👏🏻👏🏻

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Harriet and I have been to Iceland. Truly a beautiful and scenic country. Drove all over the very diverse terrain. The video was outstanding . It covered many of the places you guys went to. The images were stunning. So Good! So Real! So Complete ! Paul, you out did yourself on this one . Ranked 10 out of 10. Thank you for the wonderful tour. Sending you Best Wishes mates from Jim and Harriet , Richmond, Va. 🙏🙏 P.S. Got to run to see it again.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@ito8597]

Thank you for choosing this country as your next destination. I really want to go there for my 30th birthday, I'll probably take your advice.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Yes my friend, do it. We loved it! Also check out the follow up Iceland travel guide that’ll be out in a few weeks which will help when planning.

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

Amazing scenes from Iceland .. thank u so much .. like your sense of humour 🇨🇦 ❤

[@Jackofallvlogs]

It’s videos like this that inspire me to keep making my own vlogs ❤️

[@korean_foot_traveler8655]

That's a really amazing place. I enjoyed the tour through the video.❤👍

[@LozMac22]

I love your videos, your humor 😂 lots of beauty in Iceland, very picturesque. 😍

[@indie-travel-stories]

Nice video. Feel your travel style is much closer to mine than those of the usual influencers. Good to see something different.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel if you’re new!

[@NessasTravelDiaries]

Very interesting way to see Iceland❤ I’m up for this experience

[@LunaMetricy]

Love your videos ALWAYS!

[@kevinchapman-kf9rx]

We have lots of geysers in New Zealand in a place called Rotorua

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

I’ve been to Rotorua! Loved it

[@kevinchapman-kf9rx]

@SuitcaseMonkey awesome. I love the place roo. Have you been to the Rimu forest where you can do the tree walk

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

@kevinchapman-kf9rx I have not, no. NZ is definitely on my list for a return!

[@kevinchapman-kf9rx]

@@SuitcaseMonkey yay that will be awesome

[@martinasandoval5326]

I've been, the only problem is that the one that we saw was not predictable so we didn't see the water pump out. The one in Iceland is like every 15 min and much smaller.

[@matthewburfitt7860]

What a doozy! Keep churning them out mate! Absolutely cracking content

[@colingoodwin6427]

This makes me want to learn to drive!! What a great way to explore Iceland 👍

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Do it!

[@kevinchapman-kf9rx]

Wow beautiful scenery

[@azraarif8867]

Yet another great video. The puffins are always amazing to watch and the waterfalls…. Aaahhh

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thanks for watching! Yeah we spent about 45 minutes watching them 😝

[@nihanerdivan4336]

Love this video particularly a lot, and the humor 😂

[@GailCollins-ov7kd]

Beautiful country, loved the waterfalls!

[@pauliefraser]

Thank you for your work on this film. Great video quality and love the commentary. New subscriber 👍

Welcome to the channel!

[@shashankkumar231]

Very nice video I love it.

[@Car_toz]

I'm planning a road-trip around Iceland. This vid is going to be really helpful. Thanks.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thanks. Keep an eye out for a couple weeks time when I’ll be following up with a more practical guide about Iceland.

[@wandererblog]

a very interesting video! I have a lot to learn from you! good luck!

[@user-st6ui7oy1p]

Great video, and Nordic Nomads looks great! Though I doubt you’ll be getting a sponsorship from Dacia after referring to your car as a Jeep! 😂

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

🤷‍♂️ 😜

[@jeanneandbilleddy]

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing, Iceland is so beautiful and peaceful. Interesting "puffin watching" Drive on the left! (got it!) Which season would you suggest for visiting there? (your visit was in August)

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Haha, hmm yeah that’s right on the driving 😜 I’m currently making an Iceland travel guide video which covers more info on which months to visit. Stay tuned…

[@aladyinlondon]

Wow, so amazing!

[@kamus.ai666]

I want visit Iceland because Thorfinn Karlsefnni. someday.

[@johnorscher6986]

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

We’ve done both now. Summer definitely is my favourite overall even tho winter has its benefits

[@adMatec7]

Amazing video, thank you so much !!

[@FalcomScott312]

Looks so wonderful seeing this Iceland 🇮🇸 vlog here, mate! I also enjoyed the Osaka, Japan 🇯🇵 vlog on the other channel as well & thanks for sharing, Paul! 👍

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Cheers!

[@WarrenBrown-t9t]

I love the Puffins they are so cute... I want to adopt one...

[@popsock1]

Another great video, thank you! 🥰 Also, you probably know already, „Endlose Dusche” translates to „never-ending shower“ 🙂

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Haha thanks for the translation!

[@lotushouse5598]

Another wonderful video!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thanks for watching!

[@FamilyTripping]

Such a great video, as expected. Love the TLC reference! We've been before but we are planning to go back with the kids.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Haha. Yeah I wonder how many heads that will go over 😜

[@davidh4817]

Ah this was great, loved Iceland so much we went 2 years running but both in winter, definitely want to do a summer roadtrip one day

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Our first time was winter, so summer was always on our list too… 😀

[@alliea6112]

Ok, checking on flights😍

[@mahivivazqueztarducci8780]

Thank you Paul and Chiaki! just in time for my upcoming trip to Iceland!! Many of these spots were on my list but will be adding a few more. I'll be on the lookout for the next one! I have so many questions about transport and recommendations in Reykjavik!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Oh cool! Let me know any specifics as I’m editing the travel guide now…

[@mahivivazqueztarducci8780]

@@SuitcaseMonkey that's amazing thank you! My main concerns are how to get to Reykjavik from the airport and any restaurant recommendations in Reykjavik. I'm sure you are all over this already :)

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

OMG. I literally wrote all that yesterday. BOOM. It’ll be out in a few weeks

[@summerliu3394]

Excited to see your new video😅 notification this morning ! We finally booked our Portugal and Spain trip for next year in March, will watch your old videos more times 😊. Iceland roadtrip website doesn’t show price until you register?

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Hey. The English part of the site will be going live on the 14 Nov (they have been operating for years but only just venturing out into English speaking countries). If you change the language to French and use the Chrome or Safari auto translation button you’ll see the full info on that page. But for 2024 it was €690 pp if I remember right…

[@TheTravelingAdventure]

So nice!

[@KillerTacos54]

Fantastic!

[@Normanabutler1]

Awesome video!!! Now Iceland is a definite trip for me!! Do you mind saying what month it was you did this trip. The weather and conditions look pretty decent. 😀🙌

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Hey yeah it was August. Although it did rain off and on each day. We just tried to work around it. I’ll cover more in the follow up video talking about months to visit.

[@chisokcheatv]

Amazing video ❤

[@denabruni9086]

Great video!

[@kevinchapman-kf9rx]

Love the water falls❤ karen

[@jaypark4635]

Great video Thank you. When is the best season to visit Iceland and when did you?😊

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thanks! We went in August which is what I’d suggest but I’ll cover all months in more detail in the follow up travel guide I’m working on atm. Will be out in a few weeks. Stay tuned

[@malaysiainvestment]

Nice video. how much is the trip by Nordic Nomad?

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Hey. For 2024 it was €690pp. 2025 bookings are opening next month, I believe on the 14th but I’m not sure if the price is the same. If you go to nordicnomads.org/en/iceland/ you can register to be notified which should have the lowest price. They are only just launching their packages to English speaking countries so the English side of the site should be fully live on that date too. In the meantime you can change the language to French on the site above and let your browser auto translate everything as it has much more info at the moment as they’ve been operating there for years.

[@angelag5708]

How does the rooftop tent hold up in the high wind and rain? I took a van around a few years ago and oh boy can the wind pick up. I can't imagine being in a tent

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

There was one night when we were on the north coast which is the windier side and on a cliff edge by the sea and it was very gusty. They suggested we park in a particular direction to help and although it was a little noisy at times, it didn’t feel like we were going to fly away or anything. Lol

[@flowersflowers473]

Great video as always. Was going to ask when you made the trip, but saw in comments it was August. Do the tourist spots/Reykjavík feel crowded during the summer? What were the temps like in August?

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Hey thanks. I think it was around 12 degrees on average. It didn’t feel busy in Reykjavik tho even if it’s ‘peak’ I’ll cover more in the follow up travel guide video in a couple weeks

[@rlp0l01999]

I assume you’re talking Celsius so 12C is 53.6F. Ah it’s a little chilly but manageable. I can’t imagine 12F in the freezing cold.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

lol correct!

[@FazleRabbi-tx6fb]

What's your camera name? Video quality very good 😊
