What to pack for a summer trip to Iceland

[@StephenChien-p3n]

We just spent 2 week in Iceland in August and followed her guide, and she was spot on! The rain pants were very useful for the waterfall and the unpredictable rain, hiking boots are great on the slippery waterfall path and loose rock volcano hike. Thanks for all the great tips!

[@IcelandwithaView]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for tuning in!

[@kymberleerogie4298]

Perfect timing! I leave 3 days!! I’m going to check over what I packed again tonight!

[@lonitoomey4628]

I'm going in July with my 17 year old as a graduation present and my parents and this video was so informative! Thank you!

[@2kengland]

Great tips for packing - thank you so much. Just back from a two week trip and I have no regrets over anything I packed.

[@lorijarrettgroup3360]

Lol you’re adorable! This was very helpful, thanks! Bringing my daughter in September - it’s her graduation gift 💖👏🏻

[@RoamwithRach]

This video was so helpful. I went to Iceland in May and it was amazing. But yes, the weather changes like crazy. Layers are key!! Keep up the great work :)

[@IcelandwithaView]

Thank you Rachel! Yes, the weather IS crazy in Iceland - good thing it makes up for it in beauty :)

[@burningmanmike]

No bad weather, just bad clothing! Microfiber towel, YES!

[@prasadmankar7650]

I'm going in April, should I follow this?

[@stellay7754]

Heading to Iceland on June 20. Just doing my last minute check :)

[@maryannlandon7395]

Can't wait to enjoy Iceland using all of your fabulous suggestions.

[@IcelandwithaView]

Awesome Mary Ann, I'm so happy to be able to help :) Enjoy your trip!

[@MrPicky]

Spot on, sounds more or less like my hiking and/or camping list in Iceland (and I am Icelandic btw ;) ).

[@gonzo4577]

Great video! My wife and I are coming to Iceland for the first time the end of August. Your videos have been very helpful!

[@IcelandwithaView]

So excited for you to visit Iceland, you will love it! Thanks for following along :)

[@stinkygraykitty6808]

Very informative video! One of the best things about Iceland......no hot weather lol. I have a really great cell phone with epic camera (see my photo lol) and on trip #2 were bringing a GOPRO. We have a great camera, just trying to bring smaller things...hate bulky items, "oh be careful don't get the camera wet" yipes.

[@IcelandwithaView]

Great point, packing light can be key!

[@zidiinissah4054]

How much Iceland pay cleaner per month?

[@pichtee9252]

Thank you great info

[@seraph7023]

Going to Iceland in 2 weeks so this was much needed!

[@karmakanic]

Great info, concise, clear, friendly, to the point...perf. Thanks for uploading it.

[@binguslevine]

thanks for all your effort helping others. My family and i are watching! Great advice.

[@IcelandwithaView]

Glad I can help, Gregory! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@cgoodson2010]

Thank you! I'm visiting at the end of June and absolutely cannot wait! 🎉

[@lisasteinhardt8668]

We're due to leave tonight, and are so excited! I have a question, that I understand I won't necessarily get a answer in time (I should have posted MUCH EARLIER!): For religious reasons, I do not just wear pants (I would wear leggings under a skirt). Usually I live in denim, but I understand that it's insane to wear denim if hiking as it never dries! What would your recommendations be for travel skirts that are at least below knee length?

[@bichannel3419]

Very useful video. I would have been overwhelmed without this video.

[@courtcomposer]

Thanks so much! I will be visiting in two weeks.😅

[@ramonaberry-ingram9587]

Thank you! Very helpful and useful information.

[@karenbukovitz3441]

So glad I found your videos. Thank you.

[@kurtybee2]

Going to Iceland in June...SUPER HELPFUL VIDEO

[@IcelandwithaView]

Yay! Happy to help Kurtis :)

[@dangarrison4507]

Super helpful! Going in early August. Thanks!

[@IcelandwithaView]

Happy to help! Have a great trip Dan :)

[@aaaZZZxxxAAAzzz]

Very interesting video and good that you inform people because the weather can be a real mess, been to Iceland and I’m from Sweden so the climate are pretty similar 😅 what is the brand on the rain gear you have?

[@carolablackwood7234]

I love all your videos. We are going for 9 days this September and I can't wait. Your info is so helpful. In September, do I still need a sleepmask? Thanks much.

[@allykat1385]

Us too!

[@jamessinks3736]

PACKED - full of useful info. Thanks again Jeannie .

[@IcelandwithaView]

Happy to help James!

[@chesnadanes2255]

Very helpful! Thank you. Question - do you think blundstones boots are appropriate shoes to bring for the summer? Instead of bringing actual hiking boots, thanks!

[@monicas7009]

Thank you so much Jeannie! I think I am all set for my trip next week! So excited! All of your videos had been a great help, I was thinking of packing some winter snow boots, but I see now those won’t be necessary. You are the best! 🙏🏻

[@IcelandwithaView]

So happy to help Monica! I hope you have a great trip :)

[@rodrev_hiking6757]

Im Full hiker trash minimalist . What I pack : sunhoodie like a longsleeve with hood and thumbholes , alpaca wool thin sweater , mountain Hardwear ghostwhisperer down jacket , one hiking pants , one pair Patagonia Terrebonne joggers ( very lightweight ) , 3 pairs socks , Patagonia shorts , ..long story short I’m like 2 pounds on extra clothes and that’s it add my 5.5oz rainjacket and 2oz rainwrap

[@Vereenchen_]

Thank you so much! This was super helpful! :)

[@IcelandwithaView]

Happy to help Verena!

[@annachow1306]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@simplealex3940]

Hey Jeannie, Im coming to Iceland in October and I have a question about the power adapter. which should I get if I want to use my blow dryer or hair straightener? Your videos have been so helpful for me! Thank you so much Alex

[@IcelandwithaView]

Did you find an adapter? How was your trip?

[@szatanica1]

Start at 1:06.

[@dereamzz]

thank you!! can you do a winter edition?

[@debbiefoster3447]

Yay, I’m coming!

[@purpletc1]

Jennie… traveling solo June 23… what is the best way to take care of my I -phone… shall I leave it in the locker at Sky Lagoon?

[@IcelandwithaView]

Hi there! If you think you'd like to take pictures while swimming at Sky Lagoon I highly recommend a simple waterproof case similar to this: a.co/d/2lyJOAL ~ even though they're cheap, they do the trick! Otherwise, yes, leave your phone in the locker!

[@jessicab7548]

Hello! New to the channel, have you done a video on staying safe in Iceland? Like what road signs mean, any areas tourists should avoid, weather dangers, sneaker waves etc. thanks for your informative channel!

[@IcelandwithaView]

Yes! Please check out my blog! Icelandwithaview.com

[@nhuvo1259]

Very helpful! Thanks! 👌👏👏👏

[@marycobb2759]

Where is the best places to get souvenirs?

[@wichersham]

This is very helpful!

[@IcelandwithaView]

Great to hear, thanks for watching!

[@karennicholson6972]

Thank you. Love it. VERY helpful!

[@hike2024]

Hello, first thank you for the videos, we are traveling on our first trip to Iceland this July, and all of your information has been most helpful. One quick question, in your video at the 6:36 mark, where is that location? We would love to check it out in person. Thank you.

[@josephk9797]

I am going next July how did you go 😁 ?? Was the weather or good cold or it kept changing. I am panicking about what to pack !!! Please any recommendations would be helpful thanks in advance

[@dani-xw3lc]

thanks for this great video!

[@johannaosterholm1072]

Thanks for the amazing video! :D Would you say these clothes are more for camping/hiking, or are they perfect for sightseeing/light hiking as well? I'm going in June and I am sooo excited! :)

[@IcelandwithaView]

I would say they are for both! It's most important to be dry in Iceland.

[@marcofurlan1958]

Hallo Jeannie,what kind of sleep mask do you recommend?

[@TanukiParis]

6:36 where is it ?

[@JulieBowen-o8k]

Do people wear sneakers - like a black sneaker in to restaurants in Reykjavik...this is for July.

[@timmanus]

Are you from Wisconsin? I saw the badgers hat!

[@victoriaparraga9646]

Thanks, Jeannie! Very informational. Same as agkl: I am going in September for two weeks and I am trying to learn as much as I can. You, citiwalk and wakeupreykjavik are my three best sources of info! Go girl!

[@RoamwithRach]

You're going to LOVE Iceland it's honestly such a beautiful place. And its cool you are going in a summer month and the days will be longer!!

[@IcelandwithaView]

Yay, I'm SO happy to hear that than you Victoria!

[@MarkBelgica030186]

Hi, when you say warm, how warm are we talking in degrees?

[@mahmoudhamed1373]

It’s very good 👍👍👍👍👍

[@nicolem8599]

With only a long layover, and planning to only have a backpack. I am doubtful we will get hiking in, but this list is good. If you had less than 10 hours and a rental car, what would you do in Iceland?

[@jillpomerantz5874]

Wonderful video.....how come I cannot find the downloadable packing list??? Thanks!

[@sherryannpersad-mehra2576]

I’m looking fir that too

[@floro7687]

PM Mucho abrigo!

[@KELLYKH]

you rock

[@gudny7423]

I love in ice land and i from ice land

[@susanreever4158]

How do I get the map with all the key places?

[@kathrynleon151]

We are planning a postponed birthday trip for my daughter in June. We only have 5 days there, but plan the stay each night in a different area of the island, going West, then North, East and finally South. Any good suggestions?

[@christinahorne4680]

Hi! Getting ready to come to Iceland this summer. I ordered the power adaptor you linked but then realized it isn't recommended for things like hair straighteners/flat irons. Can you recommend one that is? Also ordered the microfiber towels and hiking boots - thanks for all the info!

[@IcelandwithaView]

Thanks for your support Christina! You will have to check the rating on those hair tools and get a converter that is rated to that number.

[@fusionsensellc.1514]

Hey Jeannie! I have a 7 hour layover in KEFLAVIK. Where do you suggest I go besides the Blue Lagoon? I plan to rent a car. Thanks for all of your help! Tiffani

[@IcelandwithaView]

Hey Tiffani, check out this blog post I wrote: livelifewithaview.com/my-first-snow-in-iceland-exploringkrsuvk

[@muhammadalikhan7271]

good very informative video I will come Iceland after august but 1 thing is problematic in Iceland to me that there is no Pakistani and indian food in restaurant and hotels

[@Sharpe1502]

I’m currently living in Alaska and want to go to Iceland. It sounds like a similar climate. I’m not on the coast though, so is Iceland more coastal/rainy and wet?

[@IcelandwithaView]

I haven't been to Alaska but I imagine the climates are similar! Yes coastal and rainy ;)

[@joanlynch5271]

Do the hotels have pools? Could you recommend one or two?

[@Adisa1992]

Hi, whats the location of 6:36

[@IcelandwithaView]

Vestrahorn Peak, looooove this place!

[@roger8654]

Do you do tours? I l will be in Iceland tomorrow

[@natalieborkowski2457]

Thank you for so many tips! I have a question, what would you or anyone recommend for someone who is going to iceland for 4 days and using a traveling backpack. Then headed to Eastern Europe. I don't plan on packing a ton of stuff and definitly want to pack light.

[@RoamwithRach]

I would say to bring clothes that you can layer and bring clothes that can be very versatile so you can mix and match! I went to Iceland in May and the weather changes like crazy so layers are key.

[@IcelandwithaView]

I second Rachel's advice! Warm + layers are KEY!

[@jarrodferstl3799]

Hey! My friend and i are going to be renting a camper for 4 days in iceland before heading off to mainland europe. Wondering how we should pack water. Should I buy bottled water there? (not a fan of one use plastic) or bring one of my backpacking water filter? Are there lot of options to fill up water on the loop? Somebody please help me out, thanks!

[@IcelandwithaView]

That's a great question! You actually don't need to buy water...you can drink water straight from the rivers/streams here - it's DELICIOUS perfection!

[@NiniannE]

I guess you have to wear more clothes during summer in Iceland than during winter where I'm from...

[@ishaparasher1360]

Is may end and june first week considered summer ?

[@IcelandwithaView]

Thanks so much for watching!! I have more detailed information about seasons on my blog www.icelandwithaview.com :)

[@PakiraTomusu]

Hi, can I ask a question? What experience do you have with Poles living in Iceland? I heard that there are a lot of them, especially in the capital, but I'm curious how my people are seen there? Are they "ok" and nice people? What is opinion about them? Oh, and greetings from Poland !

[@adi2009bm]

Will you be able to get by with sneakers?

[@IcelandwithaView]

You definitely could but I always suggest waterproof with durable soles. Have fun!

[@aynrand4288]

Go Badgers !

[@stinkygraykitty6808]

Oh yes as far as summer travel, which month is the whole tourist thing winding down?

[@IcelandwithaView]

I'd say by September

[@bethyluhu]

What season will the last week of August count as?

[@IcelandwithaView]

Summer in terms of my packing lists!

[@JavaHeidiHo]

Thank you Jeannie! You have fed my planning compulsion in a wonderful way! We'll be there bright and early on June 27, but can't check into our Airbnb until 4pm. We're renting a car, so we can do whatever we want, but after a quick stop for breakfast (!!!) at IKEA, I'm wondering how you would recommend 2 weary jet lagged travelers spend their time until check in? (No naps!) I've seen a hop, on hop off tour for about $30 per person (one of the airlines). What do you think of that? I know the walking tours are free, but I want to make it past dinner with NO NAP. Lol.

[@IcelandwithaView]

Just stay outside in the fresh air and walk around!

[@rodbarrett2152]

Dont Worry I’m bringing nice weather with me.Only shorts and flip flops for me. The powers of positive thinking.. I let you know how I get on.😎
