Outdoor enthusiasts will find a utopia in Iceland, the country of fire and ice. It never gets old to be amazed by the breathtaking scenery, enormous volcanic mountains, and miles-long glaciers. This diverse and lovely environment is not simply a place to go; it is also an experience in and of itself.

When one discovers all this small bit of land has to offer, one will be overwhelmed with options. The land of fire and ice never disappoint, offering everything from its snow-capped mountain peaks to sweltering volcanic fields, trekking the glaciers, and discovering the prehistoric woods. In Iceland, there is a tonne of incredible things to do. I do not doubt that you will fall in love with Iceland by the end of this blog!

Plunge In the Hot Pools of The Blue Lagoon

Hot pools of the Blue Lagoon - Top things to do in Iceland - low cost vibes blog

The well-known Blue Lagoon is a geothermal hot spring, not to be mistaken for the one on the island of Capri in Italy. This well-known location, near Reykjavik, is the ideal place to unwind first. One of the leading things to do when visiting Iceland, regardless of the season, is to spend a good few hours unwinding in this piping-hot pool.

Tour Reykjavik By Day and Night

Tour Reykjavik by day and night; nightlife in Reykjavik - Top things to do in Iceland - low cost vibes blog

The nation’s capital is a bustling destination with plenty of trendy cafés, clubs, and cafes. Here, English is widely spoken. The National and Saga museums, which explore Iceland’s historic Viking past, are located in downtown Reykjavik. One of my personal favourites is to experience the nightlife in Reykjavik. Everything feels and seems exceptional here because of the live music, welcoming people, and fantastic environment.

Whale Watching in Skjálfandi Bay

Whale Watching in Skjálfandi Bay; May through September is the best time to watch whales - Top things to do in Iceland - low cost vibes bog

The finest thing to do in Iceland is to go whale watching in Skjálfandi Bay. The bay, which is close to the town of Hsavk, is well-known for being a haven for many whales. You might come across a white-beaked dolphin, a calm minke whale, humpback whales that are moving, or perhaps the enormous blue whale. Whatever you witness, Skjálfandi Bay is a captivating sight. In Iceland, May through September is the best time to watch whales.

Surreal Experience – Gullfoss

Surreal Experience – Gullfoss; Golden-falls, one of the top 10 waterfalls in the world - Top things to do in Iceland - low cost vibes blog

About 120 kilometres from Reykjavik are the “Golden-falls” waterfalls fed by the Hvtá river. It is composed of two tiers and one of Iceland’s most astounding vistas. The waterfalls plunge over 30 metres into a chasm-like canyon. The Gullfoss waterfall easily qualifies as one of the top 10 waterfalls in the world. The name “Golden Falls” comes from how the light illuminates the billowing spray on bright days, giving it a golden colour.

Make Your Way to Vatnajökull Glacier

Vatnajökull Glacier, the biggest glacier in Europe; Glacier hiking, ice caving, and boat tours - Top things to do in Iceland - low cost vibes blog

Iceland is home to several glaciers, but the Vatnajökull Glacier is the greatest of the bunch. Nearly 8% of Iceland’s surface is covered by the biggest glacier in Europe, with an area of approximately 8100 square kilometres. One cannot see everything in a single visit because of its immense size. You may make the most of it by taking many self-drive excursions or guided excursion packages. Glacier hiking, ice caving, and boat tours are some of the crown’s jewels!

Lake Myvatn is worth a visit!

Enjoy bird watching or hiking at Lake Myvatn, Lake Myvatn is worth a visit - Top things to do in Iceland - low cost vibes blog

You might have never seen anything like Lake Myvatn, which is flanked by a distinctive volcanic scenery. It’s a lake in northern Iceland that formed 2300 years ago due to intense volcanic activity. Fans of Game of Thrones could be familiar with Hverir, Krafta, and Myvatan, three famous hot springs. The tiny volcanic lake is dotted with enigmatic craters, lava towers, and crevasses. Here, one may enjoy bird watching or hiking. This magnificent natural attraction in the nation is known for its tranquilly, volcanism, and natural landscape.

To Get the Perfect Click, Climb Kirkjufell Mountain

Climb Kirkjufell Mountain, one of the ten most beautiful mountains in the world and the most photographed mountain in Europe - Top things to do in Iceland - low cost vibes blog

This is one of Iceland’s most breathtaking sites, and it can be found on the country’s north shore, close to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and the town of Grunda rfjörur. It is a focal point for miles due to its seclusion and protrusion into the sea. Kirkjufell, literally Church Mountain, has several walking and hiking trails. This peak serves as a stand-in for arrowhead mountain in Game of Thrones, along with several other sites in Iceland. The ten most beautiful mountains in the world include Iceland’s Kirkjufell, which is thought to be the most photographed mountain in the country.

Immerse into the Impressive Northern Lights

View the northern lights, best time to go on an aurora quest is around midnight in October through March - Top things to do in Iceland - low cost vibes blog

High-latitude regions are the primary locations where the northern lights – the aurora borealis – are seen. Iceland, located at a latitude of around 64 degrees north, is the ideal location to view the northern lights. Thousands of people go to Iceland yearly to see this natural phenomenon. Blue and green lights emerge as swirling rivers when solar particles enter the Earth’s magnetic field. Experiencing Iceland’s breathtaking northern lights is at the top of any traveller’s list of things to do. The best time to go on an aurora quest is around midnight in October through March.

Ahoy matey! I am Aakifa Kellen, a Vibes Group UK content writer. I view travelling as a carbon copy of a lovely picture. Adding colours is all one has to do. Deciding the colours and where to colour them is the painter’s choice. My imagination of travel is a wall of pictures with fairy lights and twinkles in between that lights up life when I add new colours to the wall. Fascinating, isn’t it? That is why I write about travel blogs. Writing about them makes me share my interest with you and let you know the top travel destinations you can tenderly be around the world. I connect via time spent travelling and making memorable moments!
