Indolent Bastard posted:Any advice for someone that will be in Reykjavik in mid-June? I spent about 12 days in Iceland last September and had a blast. We used the South Circle Passport bus pass (approx $165 USD) with Reykjavik Excursions and it worked out really well because it took us to all of the places we wanted to see in the southern portion of the island. We spent 3 days camping in Skaftafell which has a super high cool factor. You can set up a tent in the campgrounds there and take one day to hike to the summit of Kristínartindar Mountain where you have awesome views of two separate valleys with glaciers pouring in. You can also take a day to go ice climbing in Skaftafell - which is super rad. On the bus ride up, you stop at neat landmarks along the way. I'm not a huge fan of having to drive in foreign countries for multiple reasons, so I didn't mind the bus experience at all. I'm also all about travelling frugally - being able to camp helps. If you like hiking/backpacking, hike the Landmannalauger trail, or if your short on time, just the Fimmvorduhols trek. Also, in going along with the advice of others, buy all of your booze at the Duty Free shop in the airport. Not only is it expensive to buy alcohol in Iceland, but the liquor laws are pretty strict and many of the stores have limited hours. Hope this helps. Happy Travels!
