MUST DO IN ICELAND | Blue Lagoon & Snorkelling in Silfra

[@blankiki]

Wow, frankly I’m impressed by your cheerful and positive attitude despite not having your luggage. I remember my trip to Australia some years ago when my luggage was left back in Frankfurt and I was touring Australia for a month. My heart sunk when I didn’t see my luggage and I almost cry. I got it 30 hrs later and thanks god I was still in Sydney. Love your positive vibes.

[@Sc0perr]

I was the one who assisted you in Jack&Jones :D. glad to find your channel now. hope you had a good time :)

[@cianomalley7049]

No fckin way.

[@KateAnastasia]

The way you two look at each other makes my heart melt. I love this video so much

[@flyingthenest]

😍😍😍

[@riproar11]

Yes, make sure to wear your cold weather parka and other jackets layered under it during your flight. It saves so much space and weight for your suitcase.

[@thor25]

I love how you guys really take the punches of the reality of traveling with a smile, that is my #1 tip for anyone who visits Iceland. You guys are a pleasure to watch.

[@shridharak3571]

Iceland seems a dreamy land. Nature beuty and fury rests here. Land of valcanos ,mountains, hot and cold water . Fantastic.both of you given us a good time to watch a far and distant country . May God bless both . Take care

[@JessicaaT89]

You two have fast become my favourite youtubers!! ❤️

I snorkelled Silfra in May this year and it was possibly one of the most awesome things I ever done - it definitely meets your expectations and unlike somethings, looks EXACTLY like the pictures on google! Hot chocolate afterwards is epic! ha ha

[@flyingthenest]

That's so true! Pictures and videos do live up to the expectation of snorkeling there! One of the coolest things to do!

[@keshoresharma4993]

I don't know swimming but i can paddle.. Will they allow me😐

[@МарияАндреевна-ш1р]

Guys, you are amazing! Hunter Jane is so blessed with her parents)

[@VolpeWhereAreYou]

This is our absolute favorite country!!! It is amazing, next time we'll stop by the blue lagoon. We went to the less touristic hot bath in Myvatn and saw northern lights! It was epic!!! Great vlog again guys keep it up!

[@flyingthenest]

If we had a tiny bit more time in the city we would've gone and done that but we thought everyone would want to see blue lagoon first and then if we have time go to the other one! How was it?

[@kristjaneinarsson9843]

I’m from Iceland and I love Iceland and I also love Blue Lagoon and you should also go to Fontana Fontana is the best.

[@jessica-uv3gk]

Wow beautiful lagoon,this is so going on my travel list. Thanks you guys. Very cool video

[@flyingthenest]

Iceland is a very cool spot so adding it to your list is a very good idea 💡

[@elmoalltheway1]

you're both so cute, some of the only vloggers where your content feels like it's own

The chemistry between the two of you is amazing! Hope I can find someone like that too and travel everywhere; btw looking forward to Iceland 🎉🎉🎉

You guys look like you had a blast and I'm loving it!

Already such a fun start to the trip

[@benec5816]

Oh so glad he insurance came through but the prices there oh boy but at least you are warm. Love the blue pool so much fun so at least it's not spoiling your trip stay safe and enjoy yourselves

[@Danny-yn8dc]

Ive been to Iceland recently and to Blue Lagoon. Expensive, but boy wasn't it worth it. by far, my favourite holiday destination in the world. Everybody is super friendly, the place is like in a whole new world, no stress etc. The only problem I find are the airlines, but amazing experience!

[@becgrinceri1170]

The insurance haul! 😂 I actually like the yellow jacket though!! The beanies did make me laugh...

[@flyingthenest]

Hahaha!! Don't worry we still have the beanies and the jacket 😂

[@flyingthenest]

Yes so glad we managed to get some stuff for the week! I mean it wasn't a crazy amount because of the costs of things here but it was just what we needed!

[@RahelE.Photography]

Just sumbled on your channel. I think it's great how you handelt the loss of you luggage in a positive way. Looking forward to seeing more of Iceland as I am going there next year.

[@InternationalFeds]

My wife and I also stayed at the Swan House during our minimoon in Iceland last February, and we loved it! Didn't visit the Blue Lagoon as we were short of time and felt that it was overpriced (around 70 Euros per person last year!), but enjoyed the geothermal heated pools in Laugardalslaug (the main public swimming pool in Reykjavik) for a fraction of the price instead 😊 Also very glad you two had decent travel insurance so you could buy the clothes you need - a good example of why it is always important to buy travel insurance!

[@shardy5521]

I showed my Year 8 Geography class this vlog and they loved it! They asked me to show them more :)

[@melindajohnson3394]

My first tour in Iceland was during the mid 80s and Blue Lagoon was merely the lagoon and a block shower house. Clothing was optional and it was the best kept secret. Tourism was not a focus for the economy then. My return tour ten years later was a bit of a rude awakening. Folks found my secret hideaway!!

[@ToriandNathanTravel]

Wow! Awesome video guys! This is so cool because my wife and I are going to Iceland next week actually. I'm so excited to go and see everything there. Looking forward to more of your Iceland videos!

[@CD3MC]

If possible try to get out of the south of the country. The north has very few tourists and is equally if not more beautiful.

[@ToriandNathanTravel]

We are actually planning to drive the whole ring road, so we will try to see as much of the north as possible. Thanks for the tip!

[@flyingthenest]

We do stick mostly to the south on this trip but next time would love to go to the north!

[@flyingthenest]

That would be such an incredible trip

[@flyingthenest]

Haha gotta love the Iceland merch

[@aglandorf75]

Well, actually if you dive at that place you can touch both continental plates to the same time. BUT soon you cant do that anymore since both plates are drifting away from each other. By 'soon' I think it will happen the next 10 years or something (those plates are drifting 2cm per year). The water in Silfra has been filtered through porous underground lava for 30-100 years before it reaches the north end of Thingvellir lake, where it seeps into Silfra from underground wells. This filtered glacial water is incredibly clear, allowing for underwater visibility of over 100 meters.

[@flyingthenest]

Oh what!! Now I wished I knew that!!

[@lauraferris6725]

Yup. Blue Lagoon is on the bucket list for shizzel... Awesome vid guys! :)

[@MK-it2gv]

Love your videos, so glad I found your channel

[@arceydear7078]

I love your positive attitude i am so happy you are determined tlo have great time anyway! Also just one more tip. I always have an extra pair of briefs, socks,Shirt. And skirt that i roll up military style and put in a zip lock bag and then a regular plastic bag at the bottom of my knapsack.. It not only is good for lost luggage sitches but also for flash rains...floods.. For wet days the plastic bag holds said wet or dirty clothes. Unfortunately due to crazies you cant bring tooth paste but i put in a new toothbrush just in case too. Keep on vlogging

[@carlao2536]

Blue Lagoon ... so worth it. We were here a few years ago. I was a bit put off by the "tourist trap" comments I'd read beforehand and nearly didn't go, but SO glad we did. I spent 6 hours in that water, just loved it. We met a really cool British couple - hi Karen and Chris if you see this - and had an absolutely fantastic day. It was February, cold, and that warm water was so amazing. 💙

[@ashmagada2785]

Hello! Loved your video. We plan on being in Iceland in 10 days and badly want to snorkel on Silfra. We know basic swimming but are not super comfortable swimming in the deep. It sounds like the drysuit helps you float in the water? If that is the case we can easily do it since we are comfortable being in water overall. In your experience, would you say the suit helps you float?

[@floriandiazgonzalez8951]

LOL I live in Phoenix, so, by default I always travel with the clothes for my destination. I try to travel to cooler places and I have tight suitcase, so to avoid the weight alone I carry my jacket and sweater onto the plane.

[@lyudmilashmigol813]

You guys,so sweet. Love your videos. Hello from Seattle.

[@sunkisses74]

Fun fact: "The lagoon is man-made. The water is a byproduct from the nearby geothermal power plant Svartseni where superheated water is vented from the ground near a lava flow and used to run turbines that generate electricity. After going through the turbines, the steam and hot water passes through a heat exchanger to provide heat for a municipal water heating system. Then the water is fed into the lagoon."

Was there any fish in the blue lagoon? What does the bottom of the water feel like? Is it rocks, cement?

[@AriesJedi]

For anyone who needs emergency clothes in Iceland, these are the cheapest options; Charity shops, we got a lopi peysa for £40 equivalent. F&F in a Hagkaup grocery store. Soft shell jackets and winter coats at Faxafen Outlet stores are really cheap. And if you are here when the Útsala (sales) are on, you can get some really good bargains Kringlun is quite expensive as is inner Reykjavik. Btw I have immigrated to Iceland but due to some problems we haven't gone anywhere. Looking at your vlog I want to get well, so I can see these places with my own eyes. I used to go camping every year so I'd like to do that too. Bit worried about the wind because I know it can get very windy here.

[@AprilandTimTravel]

wow, had no idea Iceland was so expensive! Had a similar thing in London where the 'I love London' merch was the cheapest option for thongs. Nice to get the souvenirs though.....

[@flyingthenest]

Haha do you still have that London merch for the memories?

[@AprilandTimTravel]

Yep, still have them! Will probably hang onto them until they break or are no longer needed.

[@carbonatedmayonnaise]

Just a heads up but if you're in London again... And have a similar situation look for a Primark... Cheapest clothes aside from charity shops... Can get jeans for like £10 , coats for £30 (don't expect the quality to be exceptional tho)
