Iceland is one of the most alien destinations on earth, accessible by plane instead of the startup of a billionaire.
Offering some of the most amazing natural landscapes in Europe, including stunning volcanoes, gushing geysers and geothermal sources to enjoy our own free time, Iceland has risen to new heights in the last ten years as a compelling postcard that was no longer considered a distant fantasy.
With the help of failed budget airline WOW Air, which has since been converted into Play airlinesTogether with more popular staple IcelandicAmericans can now fly non -stop to Keflavik from 17 American cities with the Recent announcement of the expansion of the country of the country with their newest company in American skies.
Although the season of Northern Lights is anything but packed, the parcidone season is just starting! Moreover, you will not find that the ice cold cold weather is known to Iceland will come until the end of the summer.
Spring in Iceland: Experience lush landscapes and Puffin Tours
There is no place like Iceland. Instead of living his name, there is a common joke that runs among the local population and tourists who have to exchange Greenland and Iceland.
This sentiment cannot be more true than May to the summer, when icy roads start to welcome road trippers who want to check their bucket list of the famous Iceland Ring road Passing huge unearthly landscapes reminiscent Lord of the rings Film sets, including really wild natural wonders that you simply cannot compare.
As the ice cold slowly turns into acceptable breeze, Iceland becomes so much more a playground from the travelers of the picturesque streets of Reykjavik to the black sandy beaches of Vik.
But there is one excursion that always attracts the attention of tourists this time of the year since April is the unofficial end of the infamous dancing green skies of Iceland.
The cute Papegoien from Iceland are starting to appear again, just like money in the bank accounts of many guides.
According to Wake Up Reykjavik, this is the best Puffin -Excursion in Iceland: Rib boat papegaaed adventure.
Offered from April 20 to August 15, as part of this Tour, you get the chance to witness Puffins up close and personally in a small group environment on a tour of an hour with a beautiful view of the amazing nature of Iceland and the picturesque cityscape of the picturesque capital.
But if you want to leave Reykavik, you could visit the new ReishoSpot Akureyri from Iceland, where it was used to reported Puffins appear early this year.
Reykjavik vs. Akureyri: the usual suspects or a more affordable adventure?
It is safe to say that 99% of Icelandic tourists started their adventures in Keflavik, the most important airport near Reykjavik.
Iceland is your oyster from there. Despite the fact that it has become mainstream in recent decade, much of Iceland seems untouched until you visit the usual places in the travel blogs of everyone and their mother.
The truth is told, I have had the fortune to visit Iceland twice. If I had to choose my favorite country, it is probably still Iceland, but I am afraid to visit again because the secret is out of the true magic and only continues to grow with the recent increase in Akureyri while this lively village opened their airport for commercial flights.
So that raises the question, which side of Iceland should you visit? It is still true that most travelers will fly to Keflavik, where Reykjavik is usually the most logical when your basis.
The problem is that Reykjavik has become just as touristy as one of the popular waterfalls, sights and the world-famous blue lagoon of Iceland and the towering prices certainly reflect the offer and the offer.
When I visited Iceland for the first time, I scored a comfortable boutique hotel below $ 40. That is now unheard of.
Here is a small sample size this spring
3-star Oddsson Midtown Hotel, not somewhere near the city center, comes for $ 193 in May and even more in the summer.
Not to mention how expensive the Blue lagoon has become. It’s $ 78 to come in.
That is where Akureyri’s question enters, which sets up the north side of the island nation along the above -mentioned ring road.
Akureyri is perhaps trendy, but it is undoubtedly more affordable. You can choose to pay an enormous amount of fuel for a road trip or to have the bus driver processed by a 6 -hour ride on the Route 57 bus.
Upon arrival you will find much cheaper staying such as 3-star Hotel Edda For less than half the price of the Reykjavik selection for just $ 122 per night this summer.
And if the blue lagoon was on your wish list, the price can scare you. But Akureyri has a better selection of spas with more tasty prices such as Forestry for $ 50.
