Thanks for watching!! 😊

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Oohhh, awesome!! What was your favorite part?

@@AdventuresWithTheHills That's really hard to tell. There are so many beautiful places. But the area around Myvatn Lake was really interesting.

@@sunset-life yes! Such a cool area!

Our van was AMAZING for the 4 of us! We saw lots smaller, some the same size and some even bigger RVs! We had no problem driving around Reykjavík. It was tight in some places, but we were able to get down every road and find parking wherever we wanted. I know it’s busier in the summer (we went in May), but there are some bigger places you could park and walk around if you don’t want to drive the main streets. My husband drives a big truck, so he had no problem driving this van. I drove it a couple times and was a bit more nervous - it took a bit to get used to maneuvering and I only drove it on big open roads… to be honest I didn’t like driving such a big vehicle and was glad I didn’t have to drive much. Also, lots of the camper vans are manual, so make sure that’s something you’re comfortable with before booking. As for Loftsalahellir Cave parking, there’s just a rough gravel lot off road 218 on the way to Dyrhólaey. You can see the lot at 16:52 in the video here.

thank you for your feedback and I am aiming next may/June for a driving around the island road trip. now.just waiting for airlines to release their pricing for next summer to finalize the dates. the planning is.part of the excitement.

That is so exciting! You are going to have such an amazing time. Iceland truly is spectacular! As for camera use, it did depend a bit on the weather. There were places/times when we kept the good camera tucked away, but the weather usually improved within 10 minutes and we could take it out again. When we were really close to waterfalls we would just use our iPhones.

Hey! We’re both 36 and our children are 7 & 9 😊

@@AdventuresWithTheHills ​ thanks guy bless! Iceland es un lugar magico!!! nos encanto!

We were there the first two weeks of May 2022. So it will be very similar to when you’re going! We absolutely loved it and would definitely choose that time of year again. It was pretty chilly at times (snowed a couple days), but we were ready for it! Everything was open, but nothing was busy! Have an amazing time!!

@@AdventuresWithTheHills Thank you for responding to my message, must appreciated. What kind of layering did you wear? Did it rain the whole time that you were away? I was wondering how much wet stuff I will need to bring. We are going elsewhere first and somewhere afterwards so we are really packing for two different holidays. How did you find sleeping with it being light all night. Cosy I bet. We did a trip many years ago in a campervan to Tasmania in Australia that was fun.

That’s awesome! September in Iceland will be amazing!! We went with the active model from Indie Campers. Our van only had seating for 4 though 😕 but they might have other models! We had a positive experience with them… the van was a little dirty/needing repairs inside (leaking around doors, heater didn’t work right, etc 😳), but I knew with a rental it wouldn’t be perfect 😝 We saw a lot of companies that were locally owned and operated and I would look into one of those and see if they have what you need (eg. Happy Camper, Kuku Camper, etc). Part of the reason we picked the one we did was because it had a bathroom (which ended up being necessary with the kids and the fact that you have to pay to use most public washrooms in Iceland) and the kids could sit on a bench seat right behind us (we didn’t have to take down the bed and reset it up every night). Lots of the other vans look like they have sideways bench seating at the back with no window views 😬 So just make sure you know what your model looks like. As long as you go into it with a flexible mindset and know there might be lots of rain, you’ll have the best time ever no matter what camper you’re in!!

Oh that is SO exciting!! We went the first two weeks of May. It was a bit chilly, but very few other people! June/July will be nicer weather and more people! You’re going to have such a great time!!

Awesome, thank you! I enjoyed watching your videos. We are very excited 😊

We went at the beginning of May. It was a little chilly, but we dressed for the weather and loved that there weren’t too many other people!

We did not buy a local SIM card, but we should have. We bought internet with our camper van, but it stopped working 2 days in and they had no way to fix it. So, I would definitely look into buying a SIM next time! US driver’s licence is totally fine. Having a bathroom in our campervan was incredible! With everything in (full insurance, unlimited mileage, bedding, internet, taxes and fees) our cost per night with the van was just under $300.00/night. When we booked it, the cost per night on the website said closer to $120-$150/night, but there’s a lot of other fees. We went in May when it was less expensive than the summer months.

thanks for your helpful tips and for sharing your videos!:)
