4+1 Tips for your next trip to Iceland
Iceland is a mesmerizing destination filled with natural beauty and unique experiences. If you're planning a trip to this stunning country or even better visiting and getting to know this amazing destination with MYND Retreats at the Into The Wild retreat on November 19, here are 4+1 tips you should pay attention to to enjoy this experience to the fullest.
1.Dress for the weather
The weather in Iceland is unpredictable and can change dramatically within a few hours. It’s crucial to dress appropriately for all weather conditions. Opt for layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, and sturdy hiking boots. Don’t forget gloves and a hat, even in summer, as temperatures can be quite low.
2. Rent a Car
Iceland offers breathtaking routes, and the best way to explore them is by car. Choose a four-wheel-drive vehicle, especially if you plan to go off-road or visit remote areas. Pay attention to road conditions and follow traffic rules, as some roads can be closed or hazardous due to weather. Of course, if you're in the MYND community on Viber, you'll already know that the Iceland retreat will have transfers with a certified Iceland tour guide, including daily van transfers and airport transfers.
3. Respect Nature
Iceland’s natural beauty is its greatest asset. Respect the environment and follow local guidelines. Avoid stepping on sensitive areas like moss and don’t leave any trash behind. Local communities have strict regulations to protect the environment, and it’s important to adhere to them.
4. Visit the Hot Springs
Hot springs are among the most popular activities in Iceland. The Blue Lagoon is perhaps the most famous, but there are many other lesser-known springs offering equally enchanting experiences. Book in advance, especially for popular springs, and pay attention to hygiene and local instructions.
5. Prepare for the Northern Lights
If you’re traveling in winter, the Northern Lights are a must-see. To maximize your chances of seeing them, stay away from city lights and look for areas with clear skies. There are special apps and websites that can help you track forecasts for Northern Lights appearances.
With these tips, your trip to Iceland will not only be safe but also unforgettable. Enjoy the unique nature, tranquility, and authentic experience that this remarkable country has to offer.
