My Iceland Dream List 

I heart Iceland - This might sound like a bold statement to some of you, especially if you are not familiar with Iceland, but after visiting the country on a number of occasions - my heart melts every single time! Iceland has so much to offer that I thought I would compile my personal "Dream List" of things I would like to to do and places I would love to see on my future trips to this beautiful country.

Explore new campsites and try new camping experiences

In addition to discovering the beautiful mountains and the scenic fjords, I want to explore the campsites in the remote and isolated parts of Iceland as well. I would like to try the experience of camping in the Icelandic Highlands, which is a vast wilderness area. I would like to try camping on a glacier, which sounds very exciting. I also want to do some wild camping. Actually, before trying any of these, I want to get more experience by camping in regular campsites around the ring road first.

Experience Iceland´s amazing natural phenomena

Iceland is full of natural wonders. I have already seen the famous Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) and also the midnight sun, which were both absolutely amazing. I haven´t seen the Blue Lagoon yet (shame on me, I know), so this is definitely on my list. I would also like to see a glacier up close, which is one of Iceland´s main attractions. I want to try dog sledding on a glacier. I would also love to discover more waterfalls, hot springs and explore Iceland´s interesting geology and ecosystem. I would like to visit the ice caves which has been growing in popularity lately.

Discover Iceland´s interesting culture

I want to learn more about Iceland´s sagas and history. I want to visit the museum at Keflavik Airport - Keflavik International Airport. I would like to spend more time in Reykjavik to explore the culture, cafes, restaurants, museums, galleries and other attractions. I would like to attend the annual Icelandic Horse Festival and maybe also attend one of the many music festivals. I want to explore the geothermal areas and learn more about geothermal energy and how Icelanders use it. I would also like to try some authentic Icelandic food.

Do some adventurous activities

I would like to do some snowmobiling on a glacier, horseback riding, and kayaking, white-water rafting and river crossings. I would also like to go on a super jeep tour in Iceland. I want to hike up to some of the Iceland´s highest peaks. I want to try paragliding or skydiving. I want to explore the cave systems and lava tubes. I would love to take an adventure tour to the highlands.

Visit all the amazing regions in Iceland

I want to explore all the regions in Iceland: the North with its unique landscape and Akureyri as the capital, the East with its beautiful fjords, the South with its black sand beaches and glaciers, the West and the Snæfellsnes peninsula and also the Interior (highlands).

Visiting Iceland again and again to experience all these amazing things is definitely on my dream list. Come and join the adventure! Below are some inspirational links and resources that have influenced this dream list.
