Amanda’s comments had me dying every time. Y’all are the best duo to watch.

[@bbbb6066]

This summer I completed my 8th visit to Iceland. During my 42 days in Iceland (June to Aug.) 22 of the days I spent 100 dollars a night or less. The other days I spent between 125 and 150 a night. I rented a dacia duster. This is a 4 wheel drive suv that can drive on f roads. The duster used diesel fuel and got over 40 mpg. We did not eat out much and shops at the bonus food stores. Iceland does not need to be expensive. It cost me about 5200 dollars for 42 days in Iceland. I also take landscape pictures and enjoy looking at your pics. I will be going back to Iceland in the summer of 2026 and would love to share the ways I did my trip on a budget. There many place to stay in Iceland for about a 100 dollars or less. You need to book them in Oct or Nov. before they are gone. You can save by calling them and booking direct. Also I stay at the same place and know the people that I have booked with in the past and they know me. Have a great new year. Linda and Ben

[@jamesscarborough9545]

I loved the Duster, I rented one while there, the cost to rent was higher than the econo gas vehicle but I saved on fuel and I loved the higher profile for the gravel roads.

[@AbdulHaseebJehangir]

Congrats on the 100K Gavin. Your channel is a BANGER! A little note on batteries. Typically lithium ion batteries are not allowed in the suitcase because of fire hazard. They must be taken into the cabin in your carry-on or on person.

[@laurahunter1690]

“Til your butt hole’s bleeding”. Haaaaaaaa brilliant 😂

[@dawnfirephotography]

That killed me lol

[@richardstackenwalt431]

As always... great video. I was in Iceland just a couple of months after you guys, (end of Aug to early Sept). I rented a Dacia Duster 4x4 with a rooftop tent, ($1700 for 2 weeks). It gave me the option of using the tent if I couldn't find a good, cheap room close by. I also did a big Costco trip before I hit the road. It saved me a fortune! My two favorite tips... Icelandic lamb hotdogs at the N1 gas stations. They're great... and cheap! The other thing was I bought a 500W 12V to 120V power inverter for the trip for $35 USD. I could plug in my small heater plus I could charge at least 3 or 4 batteries while driving. I never ran short.

[@fototripper]

Did you bring the inverter on the flight there or buy it in Iceland?

[@richardstackenwalt431]

@@fototripper I bought it in the US off Amazon. The one I bought was... "YSOLX 500W Power Inverter DC 12V to 110V AC Converter". It worked great. I also meant to mention that Beco Camera in Reykjavik helped with a shutter issue on my D850 and possibly saved my trip. Really great people there.

Congratulations on 100K Gavin! Well earned sir! I love Amanda's joke delivery. Tremendous images. I'm looking forward to this year's adventures.

One of your best videos ever, with excellent well balance humor and useful information.

[@chriscameron5873]

Saved me a fortune Gavin, many many thanks, I am not going to Iceland....ever. I will stick to Scotland/UK. Cheers!

[@jsimes1]

I love Scotland, my wife is from there and I've spent a lot of time there doing photography but Iceland really is spectacular. Imagine if the whole country was like driving in the Highlands of Scotland. You can literally just drive around and every mile there is another spectacular view and photography opportunity. There really are ways to travel in Iceland on a budget. I'm not going to promote another KZbin channel on Gavin's channel but there is one by an American woman who married an Icelandic man and moved to Iceland and she has some brilliant videos on super markets and how to buy budget food and alcohol while living in Iceland. The key to buying groceries is to get out of Reykjavik and the three biggest chains are Nettó, Krónan and Bónus. Anyway there are ways to visit Iceland and have it not be as bad as you might think.

[@michaeldale7587]

We went a couple of years ago and drove right round the island in a hire car, staying in a number of hotels for a total of 14 days. We only had to fill the car 4 times. We went back the following year staying in a hotel in Reykjavik with a hire car and did lots of trips out. There are expensive places to eat but there's a lot that are cheaper as well. TripAdvisor helped us plan where to stay, eat and visit a lot. It's not a cheap holiday but it doesn't have to be as expensive as everyone thinks, we're busy planning our 3rd trip now.

[@jessejayphotography]

25:00 In regards to drone batteries. I believe you must carry lithium batteries in carry-on luggage and they must be under 100 watt hours. I think it has to do with batteries being in unpressurized or unregulated cargo areas experiencing failures and no-one is around to see it.

[@Halli50]

Cargo/baggage areas in a jetliner are pressurized, it is the "unattended" bit that is the problem. A thermal-runaway battery in carry-on luggage can be handled by the cabin crew, they will have emergency equipment to handle the problem (fireproof gloves and bags to contain the flaming battery safely). If you, the passenger, want to minimize the risk, avoid traveling with 100% freshly charged Li-Ion batteries!

[@rareviewphotography]

YES, it is ICAO law that Li-Ion batteries must be in your carry on luggage. As Halli50 mentioned, it is to do with access if the thing catches fire.

[@marlamaier1660]

Took the highlandbus once and it was great. Did not have to rent a car for the time in the highlands and you can start your hike from one place and go back from another.

[@fototripper]

Aye it looks pretty impressive.

[@dentonator96]

100k !!!!! Finally! Congratulations!!!

[@EricGebhard]

Great tips. You're right about the cost. Iceland makes Switzerland look like a budget destination. When my wife and I visited in 2023 we brought several "Salt Packets" (dehydrated meals) with us. Using the Jet Boil we ate those for lunch just about everyday. Worked out really well despite the lethal amount of sodium in them.

[@r2drone227]

Woooop! Woooop! Woooop!.100,000 well deserved Gavin and Amanda. Love your videos. Great info, wonderfully presented and always something that makes me smile or laugh. Have a great 2025 and beyond.

[@dhmphoto]

Great advice for Iceland! I was there last June and did the campervan and loved it. That cafe shot looks like Lava Bakery and Coffee in Vik. One more tip on food is the hotdogs. I pretty much picked one up every time I stopped for gas. They were delicious and fairly cheap compared to other options.

[@gertklay]

I was in Iceland in 2016 on a photo trip in the first week of January. Not the busiest week of the year... Rented a 4x4 (which was important, I had to help tourists in small cars that didn't have that) and used hotels with breakfast and dinner. Pretty expensive indeed... But one should bare in mind that in the winter there's only 5 hours of daylight...

[@kathyjurgens7153]

Brilliant!! So useful, informative and fun to watch. Thank you Gavin and Amanda!! We would opt for the less expensive camper van or a cartop camper.

[@kevinharding9361]

Car top campers can be dangerous in Iceland (extreme winds) so be careful when and where utilised!

[@kathyjurgens7153]

@ Ah!! Thank you for that information.

[@kevinharding9361]

I spent (one of my 4 trips to Iceland) 30 nights camping there in 2023 when I was 65 years old. Yep there was some horizontal high powered rain storms (90 kph winds that Summer!) that cost some lost days (build a contingency into your schedule) but it's a wonderful way to see the country IF you are both an experienced camper/hiker and want to spend more than 7-10 days there. Battery charging, uploading (yes I had and used a drone a lot, where permitted) : virtually all of the camp sites (and generally, but not always, these must be used by Icelandic law, there aren't many places you can wild camp) have battery charging stations, laundries, showers and kitchens. I've never had any issue having any batteries/battery packs stolen. You can also top up at petrol service stations (having a meal and lots of coffee whilst waiting for a bus) or at a B&B if interspersing your camping with the odd night in bricks and mortar. Often people will leave gas and food they have not used in the boxes provided by the campsite owners for that purpose. Cost ca. $10-20 per night. Laundry and showers are cheap and use of the kitchens and battery charging is free. Petrol Stations : Yes Gav ! Almost all of the petrol stations have FREE refill coffee policies ! I've sat there for 3-4 hours recharging batteries, eating hot-dogs and snacks and having 5-6 free refills ! BTW in case someone thinks this is a little 'cheeky', and as a former restaurant owner (two) the profit margin on coffee is up to 1,000% (yes you read that right) ! So they are still quids in ! Buses & Hitch-hiking : long-distance buses can be expensive (think 'same cost as a day's car hire') and sometimes there's only a couple a day on any route (they also canceled buses on 3 separate occasions during my trip in 2023 because of the very high winds on the Ring Road) so it's good planning to account for any potential cancelations/adverse weather conditions, it's imperative of course when you have flights to catch (I always spend the last night or two at a campsite in Reykjavik or Keflavik to allay concerns). There are (at my last count) 3 bus company options to get to the Highlands (Landmannalaugar or Thórsmörk) these cost as per the above but are well worth it (day return trips are possible otherwise camp or hostel - I've never used these). The Highlands are photographically sensational. And yes I also hitch-hiked. It's not that easy in Iceland because tourists (who compose 80% of the traffic in Summer) coming from the US/UK etc. are naturally cautious (if I was young and wearing a short skirt instead of being an over-weight 65 year old then I'm sure I would have had more lifts (on the other hand my hairy legs don't look good in a skirt)! However over 4 trips I've hiked plenty and given many lifts (when I hired cars at a time when they were actually cheap in Iceland, before it became such a popular tourist destination), one Russian photographer, also camping, stayed with me for 3 days when driving the Ring Road, and it's always worked out and I've met some lovely people. If you are one of those drivers please reconsider giving lifts (assuming no young children in the car) when just driving by hitch-hikers who are just tourists like yourself ! Conclusion : If you are an experienced camper (I've hiked/camped everywhere from Kyrgyzstan to the Dolomites) and have a strong-wind worthy tent (I've seen plenty of tents fly away in Iceland because they were poorly pitched or not storm-worthy!) then you can save a TON of money (or go for an extended trip) by camping and using buses to get around. Your pack will be heavy (mine 22 kgs) so you'll also need to be an experienced hiker with good comfortable gear (and very importantly boots and clothing) and you'll need to be able to cook some meals by the tent (or in the camp-site kitchens). Comfort Level : 6-7 (I have a great, very soft, warm and comfortable, sleep system - Zenbivy if anyone is interested) Convenience : 7 (you have to wait for buses but camping/campervan gives you fast and convenient access to photographic sites / areas of interest, which is often impossible with a car and staying in B&Bs which are mostly only in towns/villages). Cost : 8 (compared to hiring a car and staying in bricks and mortar which scores a zero)! However if all that applies to you then it's a fantastic way to see and photograph Iceland on a budget (I do this to reduce the grief I get from the wife who's far happier for me to go away for a month on a US3,000 budget than a $10,000 one) ! Photos on my website thedragonsfather (.com of course) - sorry for the (non-commercial) plug Gavin !

Good info, great photos. Amanda's commentary made that video. Loved her description of the phallic coffee thief.

[@chrishall6364]

Have visited Iceland in March and the hostels in Vìk and Grundafjordur were well appointed and quiet that time of year. In winter if hiring a vehicle, you at least need winter tyres; in fact I’d go for the studded ones at any future visit.

[@andrewlloyd-seetim1271]

The other thing to take into account with the time of year that you go is the amount of daylight. Although more expensive in the summer, the hours of daylight are much longer and as a result going there in the middle of the "night" is still a viable option, with the added bonus that the amount of tourists decreases, so you may end up with having a location to yourself. Oh and tents... the camping grounds I went to had more rocks than soil, so pitching a tent was a challenge - ended up putting the tent pegs in almost sideways and praying for light wind and no rain.

[@PyroDenny]

We picked up some hitch hikers in iceland. they were lovely folks from Australia that were there as part of a volunteer group.

After 9 tours in Iceland i can go on a very thight budget taking dehydrated food with me. I usually end up renting a car (Duster is more than fine) and tent. The main advantage is being able to accomodate weather easily and being able to go where the sun shine.

[@jameshopkins1919]

Re Batteries, as I am sure other commenters may have told you, internationally all airlines prohibit ANY lithium batteries in your check in luggage. If you managed to get to a destination with batteries in your check in then it is simply because aviation security didn’t pick them up in a luggage scan and you got lucky. Head torch battery, drone battery, camera battery, powerbank ALL lithium batteries MUST be in your carry on. There is even a limit to number and size of batteries you may carryon, but it is very hard to exceed that limit. Even if you have them in your carry on if security don’t think the lithium batteries are in some sort of case or stored in a way that they can’t short circuit (and therefore probably catch fire) they may even reject them in as carry on - so just just throw them all in a single snap lock bag.

Back in May I took my own car on the Smyril Line ferry from Hirtshals, Denmark, to Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands, and then to Seyðisfjörður, Iceland. It was an amazing experience! While it’s not the cheapest option, my fuel-efficient car made exploring the island pretty affordable. Like you said, it’s super convenient to charge your devices in the car while traveling between spots. Just make sure to pack enough food-preferably pre-cooked or ready-to-eat-so you can avoid eating out too much or make fewer trips to the supermarket. Great tips, and congrats on hitting 100K!

[@fototripper]

That's a dream trip.

[@davidstevensasidewayslook8831]

we've been planning a trip to Iceland and my usual nerdy predilection for meticulous organisation/planning has led me down several paths. On a broad perspective Iceland is basically an Oligopoly ie a captive market. This is fuelled by the fact that nearly ALL Icelands grocery stores are run by just two companies, Hagar & Festi. The SAME two companies own most of the gas/petrol stations. The list goes on. As you pointed out the only place to stock up is Costco in Reykjavik with food & fuel (the cheapest) Only TWO companies control 99% of all the shipping into Iceland by air and sea. To compensate the high cost of living locals have high wages and together with very low energy costs (thermal runs everything) and basically a National Health Service funded by taxes (mostly). Taxes in Iceland are very high. If you live on Mc Donalds then don't bother going to Iceland, there ain't one! They left in 2009 as the locals didn't eat it!! There appears to be a growing Street Food culture that is a lot cheaper than restaurants but would still be expensive by our standards(UK). We are looking forward to our trip and coming home with lots of memories and and empty wallet.

[@mikeinmontana8875]

Always the best!! Keep at it Gavin! 🤝

[@davidroth5404]

Looks like it’s a winter trip for me; and I thought Denmark was expensive. Wow. if I stoped drinking cold turkey I’d get the DT’s.😂 some great advice, especially on the coffee. -drone batteries can never go in the cargo hold as not every cargo pit has fire suppression. The theory is that one can identify and put out a fire in the cabin.

[@thetruckingphotographer148]

Iceland and budget are not usually two words that go together

[@hummersd]

Thank you for the Wise suggestion (get it? lol) -- I definitely want to look into that option for the exchange rate. As for batteries -- you should never put them in checked luggage and always carry it onboard. If it gets damaged and starts a fire, that can be handled onboard vs. in the hull of the plane. Agree, the southern portion of Iceland has far more sights to see closer together than the north. I made my way to the furthest point east (Vestrahorn too!) and started coming back slowly, spending a couple of days at Jökulsárlón -- probably my fav spot of the whole trip. Ironically, I didn't discover until I got home, Mulagljufur Canyon, which I see in one of your incredible shots. Turns out I had stopped the car (along with many other tourists) at the road entrance to that canyon! (but back then people were quite secretive about that spot). But now that it's much more known, I'm curious if there's now infrastructure (marked trails, bathrooms) at Mulagljufur Canyon?

Another awesome video Gavin, Thanks for all you do, BTW, usually all airlines require any LIPO batteries to be brought onto the plane in your carry-on, that way if they catch fire they would be discovered fairly fast. I would assume that they found them and took them out prior to loading, however they should have attempted to locate you on the plane and give them to you. Happy NY to you and Amanda !!!

[@jackwerner1073]

You are absolutely correct that having enough gas in the tank is super important. We tried to gas up every time we went below half tank mark and on two occasions it was a life saver as the automated gas pumps, usually in the middle of nowhere, didn't accept our CC (neither Visa nor AmEx). The way around it is to buy a prepaid gas cards. We opted for the N3 gas station network as it seemed to be the most popular and it worked even it the most remote areas. Keep in mind though, that these card only work within that particular network. Also, on my next trip there I would bring with me a portable air pump. Didn't have it two years ago and of course we got a flat tire twice, both times in Highlands! We were extremely lucky as both times there was someone nearby with a pump but the next time there I'm gonna have my own, period!

[@fototripper]

Good advice! I did actually get my 2nd visa sorted out before we arrived and it was a good thing too because one particular pump wouldn't accept my wisecard. The next day it did...

[@jackwerner1073]

@@fototripper Go figure, eh? Beside those flat tires issue, we had fantastic time there. Out of 16 days, it rained only for a day and a half, while in Vik area. 🤩

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

Very interesting, Gavin and Amanda. With luck I'll never go to Iceland but I have experienced much of what you described in other warmer places. Since I was staying in the states I outfitted my 4x4 pickup truck and stayed where I wanted to in it. I always kept my .44 special handy when I was camping alone at the @$$ end of nowhere. I never had to use it but it was a real comfort knowing it was there and I was skilled in whatever situation might arise.

[@HezuFoto]

If one chooses to pick a fixed location as the accomodation and you want to save some time and costs on driving around, it might be sensible to stay in couple different places, although the downside is that this may limit a bit where to go on which days of your trip.

I love your videos and humor, great tips and clear explanations. One thing I have not heard you mention is computer monitors for viewing photographs. I find a huge difference viewing a photo between different brands. You can get accurately calibrated ones but the prices are telephone numbers. Do you have any views/advice regarding selection in the price range of mere mortals

I use BenQ monitors but bot hare a bit pricey. Having said that I've seen some of the cheaper ones and they too looked lovely. Whatever screen you get just be sure to calibrate it.

I went with my bike and tent last autumn, after 3 days the side winds beat me so I went back to rent a car. I slept in the car in campgrounds, around 30eur as you said. It's an adventure, so it doesn't bother me to save loads of money in exchange for a little uncomfortable sleep, who pays 300eur for a hotel is just crazy. I paid 300eur on fuel for more than 2 weeks of doing the ring road.
