Thank you, I’m glad you found this video helpful :)

Great video! Thank you

[@widyaishananto4934]

The Iceland video series are AWESOME! SUPER HELPFUL for planning the trip. Thank you!!!

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

Thank you so much! I'm SUPER glad to hear the videos were helpful for planning your trip :)

Thanks for great insights.

Thanks for the comment, glad it was helpful!

[@yaterspoon57]

Solid video. Well structured. You took your time with the subjects and explained things clearly. Good pace. Thanks... I learned a lot.

[@georgebush6241]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful in my planning for the upcoming trip in June. Iceland is EXPENSIVE!

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

Glad it was helpful, thanks for the comment. Iceland is expensive, but it will be totally worth it! Have a great trip :)

[@liyaah85]

Iceland is very expensive! but I will still visit because it's so beautiful and unique.

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

I totally agree!

[@robertcolfack26]

That sounds about right for prices thinking of a 7 day cruise in a balcony cabin is about 6000 plus flight.....

[@wuichong]

I will be traveling next Spring and all this while I only assuming on campervan option, but judging from your sharing, it seem normal car rental + hotel/ABnB could be viable option too. Thank you for your sharing and wonderful insight.

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

So glad you found this video helpful. Yes, I definitely recommend checking out car rental +hotel/Airbnb unless you want the campervan experience. Hope you have a great trip to Iceland!

[@tommasomingo]

this was helpful , so expensive Juhui!

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

Glad to hear that! Yes, hotels are still expensive because there aren’t many available. Good news it looks like more hotels and houses are getting built in Iceland, so hopefully the cost of lodging will become more affordable in near future :)

[@tonywang4764]

Great video! which rental car company did you pick?

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

Thank you for asking! It was Blue Car Rental - we booked online and picked up the car at their location right across the Keflavik airport. If you have more questions, let me know. I’ve also shared a complete overview of Iceland trip in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaPUYnZre5mLi80

Love your video, I was looking for the hotel link but there isn't any of the places. Where do I find the link. Thanks

I really got into Iceland after watching the Eurovision movie on Netflix. And really want to know the country. Also my fondness of the viking culture as well. Would love to see the sights.

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

I have to admit the Eurovision movie was definitely one of the things that introduced Iceland to me as well, I highly recommend visiting Iceland!

[@taniac3669]

Hello Juhui , Thanks so much for all of your videos, very helpful. We should start planning now 😊BTW i know you were there in summer , but which month? weather wasn’t bad at all huh

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

You’re very welcome! I’m glad to hear it was helpful. We were in Iceland in mid June. The weather was nice overall, but it got colder at night for sure. We brought many layers of clothes and a raincoat, and it helped!

[@taniac3669]

@@NewYorkerJuhui Hi how far did you start planning and booking Thx

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

@@taniac3669 We planned about 1.5 months before the trip. We were able to book all the hotels and a nice SUV for a good price (bit.ly/3BSxnx8 ) for our ring road road trip. But I noticed that most camper vans were sold out, and popular hotels were mostly booked up and the rate was pretty high. I think planning 3 months ahead would be best, if possible!

[@taniac3669]

@@NewYorkerJuhui Thx sooo much for your help . I checked the self tours , car, accommodation, map and suggestions cost over 3000/pp in summer , I ll follow your routes

I totally forgot to add $300 for gas! Total comes out to be $4442. Was it too expensive? Would you do a ring road trip in Iceland? Where would you stay? Let me know 🙂

[@chrisharder4854]

You forgot to include the costs of the tunnel toll between akureyri and myvatn..Also, GAS costs to drive around 😊

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

Right, I forgot to include the gas cost in the video which was around $300 for the ring road trip.

[@NATSCOTT]

Would you suggest renting a regular suv and sleeping in there instead of the lodging?

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

If renting a SUV costs same as camper van, I think a camper van might be more comfortable. It’s a little more spacious.

[@koloasurf2012]

You recommended only three hotels, is this the only three places you stayed on the entire trip? Great Video !!!! Thanks, this help a lot

[@NewYorkerJuhui]

You’re so welcome! We stayed more than 3 hotels: we had to stay just one night in each hotels except the last one near Reykjavík. I didn’t recommend 3 other hotels we stayed in, because they were just okay.

[@taniac3669]

@@NewYorkerJuhui can you do the Golden circle with your last 2 nights stayed near Reykjavik at Hlid Fisherman Village ?
