Why do we keep going back to Iceland? 🇮🇸

In our first proper sit-down episode of Icelandic Adventure: The Podcast, Calum & Ryan go right back to where it all started - our very first trip to Iceland and the trip that started an obsession we definitely weren't expecting.

We chat about our first impressions of Iceland, how it felt arriving for the first time, and what Calum really thought about getting behind the wheel and driving in Iceland for the first time.

We also talk about some of the mistakes we've made along the way, Icelandic food (including Ryan's experience travelling around Iceland as a vegetarian), the unpredictable Icelandic weather, experiencing proper Icelandic snow, and our favourite and least favourite geothermal lagoons. 👀

And, of course, Iceland has gone from somewhere we visited on holiday to becoming a huge part of our lives. We talk about Icelandic Adventure, our free My Iceland travel app, and why we created it to help other people explore Iceland.

Finally, we're looking ahead to our next Iceland adventure! We reveal when we're heading back and chat about some of the things we've already got planned for our December trip.

So grab a drink, get comfortable and join us for 35 minutes of Iceland stories, mistakes, opinions and probably a bit of arguing along the way.

If you're planning a trip to Iceland or, like us, you just can't stop going back, welcome to Icelandic Adventure. 🇮🇸❤️

Planning a trip along Iceland’s South Coast? 🇮🇸 In this episode, we’re taking you along one of our favourite routes in the entire country, sharing the places we think are genuinely worth stopping for, the mistakes to avoid, and the little tips we’ve picked up from our own trips.

We start all the way out at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach before working our way back along the South Coast — which is exactly how we recommend doing it if you’re travelling from Reykjavík.

Along the way we talk about Grófarlækjarfoss, the Skeiðará Bridge Monument and its incredible glacier views, Vík, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Skógafoss, Kvernufoss, Seljalandsfoss and plenty more.

We’ll also share some of our favourite places to eat and visit around Vík, including Black Crust Pizzeria, the Lava Show and the Mineral Shed, plus plenty of practical advice for planning your day.

And remember — this is only scratching the surface. There are SO many waterfalls, viewpoints, beaches and hidden gems along Iceland’s South Coast, so give yourself time to explore rather than trying to race through everything.

Welcome to Icelandic Adventure: The Podcast. This episode originally started life as one of our YouTube videos, but because it's basically one big conversation about the things we wish we'd known before travelling to Iceland, we thought it'd be perfect for the podcast too. So grab a drink and enjoy!
