Iceland in Winter ❄️🇮🇸 Northern Lights, Practical Travel Tips, Winter Activities!

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

HEEEY GUYS! I'm looking for video ideas / Iceland topics for my upcoming videos! 👀 Soooo I wanted to check: What would YOU like to see? Iceland travel itineraries, Icelandic phrases to learn before your trip, road trip stuff?? I genuinely would love to know so that I can make exactly the type of content that you'd be most interested in seeing. Let me know! ✌🏻❤

Hi dear, could you tell more about Icelandic phrases and the northern part, also the northwest of your beloved country. Especially the herds there. Take care❤

[@zarco8703]

I just went to Iceland last week and lemme tell ya ‘ , I’ve heard Iceland is one of the most safest countries in the world but this is a big lie cus i came back to North Carolina and found out Iceland stole my heart so ….i have another reason to go back . All of my love to ICELAND 🇮🇸

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Ahahaha! 😂 Yes, Iceland has been known to steal a few hearts! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay Zarco and we hope to see you again sooon! ❤️🇮🇸

I don't know what it is about Reykjavik, but we went for our first time in July, fell in love with it, and now we're coming back for NYE for your NYE Party, as well. Really looking forward to seeing Iceland, again!

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

No way! We can't WAIT to see you then! 🥳🍾

[@ashtonrose03]

Myself and my boyfriend just returned from Iceland Wednesday and done all three of the recommended tours, including starting off with the Northern Lights on our first night and got to see them. Followed by the South Island tour and finished with the Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon. Our tour guides were amazing and have so much information and history. We stayed a bit further out the city in the Grand Hotel Reykjavik which suited us. Such a beautiful island, we’d love to come back for another visit again!

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Heeey Ashton! Dan here :) Awesome! That's wonderful to hear!! Thanks for letting me know Ashton and we hope to see you again here in Iceland! Warmest regards, Dan :)

[@melissanazareth99]

Hey Ashton, thanks for sharing your experience. My husband and I plan to visit Iceland soon, could you provide me with details of your tour guides. Thanks

[@melanieavedano3577]

Hey Ashton, planning on going as well. Could you share the tour guides? And any valuable tips :)

[@nathansmith2062]

Thank you Dan. I'm coming to Iceland from Australia in February 2024. I can't wait to visit!

[@jomaddock1538]

Just booked a couple of tours for tonight and tomorrow! Excited! Xx

[@Just_Vryatt]

I love the freezing cold and the wind and the dark..sounds like it will be lovely for me right around my birthday in late February

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Birthday present to yourself: February trip to Iceland! ❤️🇮🇸 Sounds like a great idea to me! 💡

[@mariamcphaull2835]

I just returned from Iceland two weeks ago!! Such an awesome experience!! I was not able to see the Northern Lights as it was too cloudy- but went to the Perlan and saw the Northern Lights show, among other things- what a nice interactive museum. Also, I should have booked the Blue lagoon prior to my arrival- no openings- but went to the Sky Lagoon and it was beautiful!! I have so much to still see- so will definitely return!!

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Happy to hear about your experience dear Maria! Since you did not see the lights, you definitely have plenty of reasons to return for a second trip! We would love to see you here again :)

[@MySportsShow]

This has been the most helpful video I've seen yet! As of now, I will be arriving on Feb 5th around 11:30 pm and super excited!

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Wow! Thanks for the kind words Tony, it really means a lot. I'm glad this came in handy and glad to hear that you're coming in February, I hope you'll have a wonderful time! Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything and I'll get back to you! Warmest regards, Dan :)

[@MySportsShow]

@@WakeUpReykjavik. You're welcome! I was really interested in your food/drink tour and then going straight from that to a northern lights tour, but my flight is scheduled to land at 3:15, so I'm not sure if that would give us enough time to get from the airport, check in to the hotel and make it on time.

[@kazzicup]

Very useful advice. Thank you. I will tip the people who serve me when I come to Iceland.

[@ChrisBroadbent]

thanks, great video - planning our Jan'23 trip now and we love a food tour!

We have already booked a 7 days Northern Lights tour with Tourradar operated by Collette starting February 19th 2023. We have also booked 3 additional days accommodation prior to start of the tour to maximize Seeing Northern Lights. Do you have suggestions for day tours that we can take in addition to food tour. Please let me know. Thank you.

Heeey Kuldev! Dan here :) Awesome to hear that you'll be visiting us next year. Super exciting! I have my fingers crossed that you'll see the lights here in Iceland! Regarding suggestions for fantastic activities to do: YES! I've got plenty! 1) Reykavik Food Walk (as you mentioned) for early on in your stay 2) Golden Circle with stop at Secret Lagoon natural hot spring and/or South Coast tour. wakeupreykjavik.com/tour/natural-hot-spring-iceland wakeupreykjavik.com/tour/natural-hot-spring-iceland 3) Snowmobiling and Ice Caves on Langjökull glacier (with transfers from Reykjavik) I'll link to that here as well: wakeupreykjavik.com/tour/snowmobile-glacier-tour I hope this comes in handy!

[@rosemartin7868]

Thinking of booking a trip in late March and came across your video. Excellent advice. Thank you

[@celt3067]

Great info. We were there Dec 2021 during Winter Solstice and had a great time. Coming back this December. Flights and lodging booked. Head’s up, thought for the arrival day. Our flight from DC arrives at 6:30am so be ready to be tired that morning, especially for the drive in the dark from airport to Reykjavik. Be careful and ready. And, be ready to have to kill a few hours before being able to check in to lodging. Some good walking tours are great for that first day until you can check in.

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Glad you liked the video and great tips! It can definitely be tricky to adjust to the darkness! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 😀

[@alexbaker7517]

I visited in January and it was the perfect time to go and I will definitely be coming back

Thank you for this video! Our flights say Reykjavik but have now discovered it’s actually Keflavik we are flying into 🙈 xx

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Sooo confusing, right?? I'm glad you noticed this now. Getting to Reykjavik isn't really a big hassle (multiple ways to do it) but always good to know ahead of time that it's 45 minutes away from where you'll land in order to prepare :) I hope you have an awesome trip Stephanie! Warmest regards, Dan :)

Hey! Great video, it helped me a lot to prepare my winter trip to Iceland, thank you!. I did not expect the crazy storm that I ended up in! The weather is no joke there in winter! It was a beautiful and challenging adventure, that I will always remember! :)

[@pepperwings]

I went to Iceland recently, we wound up needing to get cash because we found several places would not take American Express (even though we asked several people ahead of time) Mastercard and Visa would probably have been ok. Important info to know, we were also told credit cards wouldn't be a problem.

[@celt3067]

So many places are not taking American Express because they cost more for the business to process than MC and Visa.

[@Windschlange]

Food Tour! I made it in May 2021and I can highly recommend it!

I love the winter do you think January is still a good time to come or risky for weather?

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Hey Marcia! Dan here :) Great question! It's soo hard to predict how this January will be as it varies from year to year. January 2022 was one of the stormiest months I've ever experienced. A lot of snow and rain. This winter, so far (October / November) has been quite good in regards to weather; relatively warm and little rain in comparison to previous years. So the January ahead might very well be a lot different than January 2022 ✌🏻🇮🇸

[@비선김-k3q]

Hi Dan, I clicked the link provided on the video and saw that you also offer northern lights cruise. Which one would you recommend the cruise or land tour? Also, My partner and I will be there on Nov 25 - 28 and we're thinking of renting a car. We only plan to travel to KEF - Reykjavik - Blue Lagoon - KEF. Do you think a small car such as toyota aygo is okay? Thanks

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Heeey! Dan here :) Thanks for your comment. Awesome to hear that your coming to Iceland this November. Super exciting! Your game plan sounds great (KEF - Reykjavik - Blue Lagoon - KEF). In regards to the tours, both are really great! The chances of seeing the lights are similar. So it mostly depends on which you are more excited for (driving vs boat). Pro's and con's to both I guess, sailing in a boat is always fun but there are less people on the land tour. But I have no doubt you'll enjoy whichever tour you end up choosing :) In regards to the car, I think it should definitely be fine since it most likely won't have started to snow when you're here. I've driven this route multiple times during winter in a Toyota Yaris without much issue. It's a short drive (40 minutes) on a road that's well lit up. So if you follow the speed limit and drive carefully (roads can sometimes be a little icy) then it shouldn't be a problem! I hope you'll have a great time my friend :)

[@jacoblund7231]

What a lovely video. Cheers! Should we be nervous about driving a car ourselves on the main roads during February? We're planning on renting a 4x4 ala the Dacia Duster

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Thank you for the kind words Jacob! That's a great question. The Dacia Duster isn't a powerful vehicle, but it works surprisingly well in the snow. I friend of mine drove to Akureyri from Reykjavik (5 hours) in heavy snow just a couple of weeks ago without any problems. It all depends, have you driven in snow before? At the moment, the weather is quite nice and it would be no problem to drive around outside of Reykjavik. We had some heavy snow a couple of weeks ago where even I, having lived here my entire life, would have been a bit nervous. So it's a little tricky to predict since we'll have to see what the weather will be like in February. I'm not sure if I was able to fully give you the answer that you were looking for but I hope this helps haha!

How will be the driving conditions in December? Will it be too stormy or manageable

[@dmitryliahovetsky2548]

Hi Daniel, we are planning a trip to Iceland in the Autumn 23/09- 8/10. What could you recommend? Of course, it already includes the Food Walk with you. Thank you. Best Regards, Dmitry

Is the end of March a good month to visit Iceland and to see the northern lights? Thank you for the video!

[@WakeUpReykjavik.]

Hey there Helena! We have a better video about the Northern Lights on our site that you can see HERE kzbin.info/www/bejne/onack4GchdR1jKs In March the lights can be visible but then also the days are getting brighter, there are just soo many factors so it is hard to say for sure. But definitely doable!
