It's best to book a deep blue ice cave tour that lasts 6-7 hours with a local company in Iceland. It's more interesting.

We glacier hike on Skagafjöll, very shocking, small to medium rain generally will not cancel the trip, after watching two small ice caves, we started glacier hiking, about half an hour of the three-hour trip is on the glacier, the guide will introduce. The blue ice cave is only open in November, if you have enough time, you can book the blue ice cave and glacier hiking separately, use two days to play, if the schedule is tight, you can see if there is a mixed project of blue ice cave and hiking. After online booking, the customer service will confirm with you the time slot with actual tickets on that day. If you have any questions about the order, you can consult the customer service, but after you arrive there, due to the time difference, the working hours on both sides are different, sometimes you may need to contact the local travel agency directly. The boat tour on the glacier lake is also good, it is recommended to book the fast boat, which can go to the deepest part of the glacier tongue below, much more shocking than the amphibious boat swaying on the lake, and the time to see the ice is also longer, absolutely no regrets.

Thank you for the reminder, it's really good advice, thank you! I'm flying in from Oslo and have been traveling in Norway before. I have a 4-night itinerary in Iceland, planning to fly in at noon and stay in Vik that night, then visit the black sand beach in the morning of the second day and go glacier hiking in the afternoon, staying at a hotel near Jokulsarlon glacier that night, visiting the ice lake and ice beach on the third day and driving back, passing through Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss along the way, staying at Selfoss that night, sightseeing in Reykjavik city and visiting the Blue Lagoon on the fourth day, staying near the airport that night, and taking an early morning flight to Stockholm on the fifth day. If I don't have time to see the attractions of the Golden Circle on the first day, is it possible to fit them in on the fourth day, or should I only choose one or two attractions of the Golden Circle, or give them up altogether? Thank you for your guidance, I really appreciate it ? Iceland Q&A

We are currently in Húsavík and Hofn, with winds of about 40km/h. We reserved a boat ticket to the ice lagoon at noon, but the small cabin in front suggested cancelling the trip due to the weather (not planning to accommodate tourists). Do you still plan to continue your journey north? Are there any friends on the same road? How do you plan to deal with it ? Iceland Q&A

I was following a local photographer from Reykjavik to Vik in Iceland, and she was driving at over 100 km/h the whole way. I asked her if there were any problems, and she said that there were no speed cameras in Iceland, only police officers hiding in the bushes on some busy roads! When we entered some towns, she was also driving at a speed of over 70 km/h past the speed cameras! At the time, I was also very worried! Later on, I found that there were two types of speed cameras. One type only measured the speed, and the other type had two flashing lights on top of it. I guessed that the first type did not take pictures! Everyone can refer to this! I was driving at a speed of 100-110 km/h the whole way, and there were still many cars that passed me! On the three-digit sections, driving at 30 km/h and avoiding large stones was not a problem! The regular ring road route has no place that only SUVs can pass! As long as you don't have a tire burst, any car can go! The above is just personal advice! Everyone should decide according to their own situation! If there are more people, it's better to rent a larger car. The average cost per person won't be much different ? Iceland Q&A

I've been in Iceland for three days. I've used my credit card to pay for groceries at the supermarket, at the hotel, and to buy a local phone card. But no one has asked me to enter a password or sign anything. My credit card is from CMB and the gas station didn't ask me to enter a password because I bought a gas card. I'm not sure why ?
