Time to get moving. Iceland is waiting for you.
Every year, many people choose to visit Iceland, and 2025 promises to be no exception.
On the surface, it seems relatively easy to plan an Iceland trip by gathering information on the internet, YouTube, or using other online resources.
One of Iceland´s most popular attractions – Geysir geothermal area
But there’s a lot more to Iceland than the popular sites that people tend to talk about on the web and social media.
While most tourist attention falls on a few main sites in the Reykjavik area, the vast majority of Iceland’s highlights remain largely untouristed, and many are just as easy to reach as the over- touristed South Coast and Golden Circle.
Do you just want to tick the box?
If you want an Iceland experience that’s more than just “what everyone else is doing” and “ticking the Iceland box”, there are some questions worth asking:
Hvítserkur rock formation is not on the main highway of Iceland.
“What is really the most memorable, beautiful, inspiring experience you can have in Iceland?”
“What do you – and the people you are traveling with – really want to get out of your stay?”
“Do you want to travel in luxury? In peace on your own, or with your family or some friends?”
“Do you want an exciting activity every day, or are you content to take your time driving along the coastline, stopping at the waterfalls, hot springs, and fishing villages along the way?”

“Do you want to experience the culture and history of Iceland, or are you more focused on comfort and relaxation?
“Do you want to stay at fancier chain hotels, or are you up for more authentic accommodations, like one-of-a-kind hotels in the countryside or even private cabins with hot tubs?”
“How much distance can we really cover in a day – especially without missing anything great along the way?”
