Iceland Honeymoon experience

...

...

This is awesome! thanks for posting !

We are flying Icelandic Air when we honeymoon in the EU next year for our one year anny. and we both want to explore Iceland. FH is a student of geology with a emphasis on volcanoes and I have always wanted to ride an Icelandic Horse. (I was a pro show groom/trainer for decades)

Well you both will certainly have fun! apparently for all of the Apollo missions the astronauts were brought to Iceland for training and taking samples before they went to the moon because the middle of Iceland and volcanic areas were the closest place on earth to the barren moon.

How beautiful!

Awesome! We're going to try and go next fall to see the Northern Lights.

Also want to go on a horse tour-- FH is 6'2" and almost 200 lbs, so it will be funny to see him on a small Iceland horse

Wow - stunning photos! Thank you for sharing! Definitely adding Iceland to the travel bucket list!

Wow so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing! And glad you had a fun time!

I am so glad you posted this! We are headed to Iceland in less than a month! The photos you too are BEAUTIFUL! I am so excited, even more than before, to see this amazing country. We are planning to see the Glacier Lagoon, who did you use for the excursion? Do you have any recommendations for places to eat that you really enjoyed?

@ courtney we didn't use anyone for the excursion, we rented a car and did the ring road ourselves. If you are in Reykjavik stop by the public house gastro pub. Raul is a bartender and he is awesome along with the food! The northern fish company is a nicer restaurant we went to for our last dinner and it was by far the best meal we had. Apotek as well was a nice place to eat, all near the city center in Reykjavik. Have fun!

Thank you for the tips! I will be sure to add them to our list.

Beautiful! Iceland is definitely on my bucket list!

Iceland is on our possibly honeymoon list! How much did your trip cost, if you don't mind sharing? What would you recommend to make it affordable?

We're going to Iceland too in September!! Quick question, are you from the States? I kept seeing stuff about it being expensive (food/drink), but I'm from Canada and from what I've seen food prices are pretty similar. Plus people don't tip there, so it's not really that different. Booze does seem a bit more, but only by a couple bucks.

One of the other brides recommended to me to buy booze at the airport when you arrive because it's significantly cheaper.

Beautiful pics, makes me excited to go!

SILAN! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TELLING ME ABOUT YOU BECAUSE WE BOTH OWN HEDGEHOGS!

Sorry for the shouting!! I'm just really excited about this. And FH and I are going to Iceland in December! ARE WE THE SAME PERSON OR???

Also, DUALES. THANK. YOU. You have no idea how excited I am you posted this. I'm so excited about it that I'm typing up these comments as fast as I can before I even read your whole OP. I read the first words, saw the pictures, and freaked out. Then I saw Silan had commented and freaked out even more. This is a great day. Hedgehogs. Icelandic honeymoons. HURRAY.

Gorgeous! Iceland is definitely on our list.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful. Thanks for sharing your photos!

Haha, no worries, happy to share. sorry for the delay. I am from the states, the food and drink were definitely expensive but considering the tip is included it wasn't too bad based on the prices we spend in Boston. You just have to anticipate eating out so much. For the two week stay including everything we probably spent about $5 k for the both of us. Alcohol definitely is the major cost, buy stuff at the airport! The govt has a monopoly over the liquor stores.
