Frequently asked questions about unique stays in Iceland

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in Iceland?

    For hidden gems, consider the less-visited Westfjords, offering stunning landscapes and charming fishing villages like Dynjandi. The Reykjadalur hot spring hike near Hveragerði provides a unique experience, and the black sand beaches of Reynisfjara, while popular, still offer a sense of secluded beauty if you explore beyond the main viewing points. The less-travelled interior highlands, accessible by 4x4, reveal otherworldly landscapes like the Landmannalaugar geothermal area.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in Iceland?

    Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is the main airport serving Iceland, located relatively close to Reykjavik. It's the most convenient option for most travellers.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in Iceland, cash or card?

    Cards are widely accepted throughout Iceland, even in smaller shops. While cash isn't necessary, it's advisable to have some Icelandic Króna (ISK) on hand for smaller establishments or vending machines.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in Iceland?

    Icelandic roads are generally well-maintained, but conditions can change rapidly due to weather. Driving habits are generally safe and courteous, but be aware of gravel roads, especially in the highlands, and the potential for sheep on the roads, particularly in rural areas. A 4x4 is recommended for exploring the F-roads (highland roads).
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in Iceland?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station. You'll then need to contact your embassy or consulate in Reykjavik to begin the process of obtaining an emergency travel document. Keep copies of your passport details, and consider taking photos of your passport before your trip.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of Iceland?

    A week allows for a good exploration of the Ring Road, Iceland's main highway. You could start in Reykjavik, exploring the city's sights, before heading along the south coast, visiting waterfalls like Gullfoss and Seljalandsfoss, glaciers like Sólheimajökull, and the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. You could then head north towards the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often called 'Miniature Iceland', before returning to Reykjavik.
  • Where should you spend a weekend in Iceland to experience the best of it?

    For a weekend, focus on the south coast. Reykjavik offers plenty to see and do for a day, and the south coast's waterfalls, black sand beaches, and glaciers are easily accessible for day trips or short drives from Reykjavik. Consider a Golden Circle tour, which includes Þingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall.
  • What festivals in Iceland are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Reykjavík Culture Night is a large-scale event with numerous performances and exhibitions. The Secret Solstice music festival takes place during the summer solstice, offering a unique experience of continuous daylight. The Iceland Airwaves music festival showcases both Icelandic and international artists.
  • Does Iceland have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    No, Iceland does not have Uber. There are local taxi services and bus networks available throughout the country, which are generally reliable.
  • What’s the top spot in Iceland for favourable weather conditions?

    There's no single 'top' spot for guaranteed good weather in Iceland; the weather is highly variable. However, the south coast tends to experience slightly milder conditions than other parts of the country, but it's still essential to check the forecast before heading out.
