Frequently Asked Questions about unique stays in Iceland

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in Iceland?

    Beyond the popular Blue Lagoon and Golden Circle, consider exploring the less-visited Westfjords with their dramatic cliffs and charming fishing villages like Dynjandi. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula, often called 'Miniature Iceland,' offers diverse landscapes in a smaller area, including Kirkjufell mountain and black sand beaches. For something truly unique, hike to the hidden hot springs of Landmannalaugar, accessible by a high-clearance 4x4 vehicle in summer.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in Iceland?

    Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is the main international airport and the most convenient for most travelers. It's well-connected to Reykjavik and other parts of the country.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in Iceland, cash or card?

    Cards are overwhelmingly preferred in Iceland. Most businesses, even small ones, readily accept credit and debit cards. While cash is accepted in some places, carrying a significant amount isn't necessary.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in Iceland?

    Icelandic roads can be challenging, especially outside of Reykjavik. Gravel roads are common in rural areas, and weather conditions can change rapidly. Drivers should be prepared for icy patches, strong winds, and limited visibility. While drivers are generally polite, it's wise to exercise caution and drive defensively, especially on the Ring Road.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in Iceland?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station. They will provide you with a statement, which you'll need to apply for a replacement passport from your embassy or consulate. Contact your embassy or consulate as soon as possible for guidance and to begin the replacement process. Keep copies of your passport information in a safe, separate location.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of Iceland?

    A week allows for a good exploration of the south coast, including waterfalls like Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, black sand beaches like Reynisfjara, and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. You could also include a day trip to the Blue Lagoon and a visit to Reykjavik. Consider renting a car for greater flexibility exploring this area.
  • Where can you have the best weekend experience in Iceland?

    Reykjavik offers a great weekend getaway. Explore Hallgrímskirkja church, stroll Laugavegur street, visit museums, and enjoy the city's vibrant nightlife and diverse culinary scene. A day trip to the Golden Circle is easily manageable from Reykjavik.
  • Does Iceland have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    No, Uber does not operate in Iceland. However, there are local taxi services and ride-sharing apps available, such as Olís and Taxi.is.
