DJL 235 #1 February 13, 2007 I'm heading there in May for a Bachelor party and plan on tackin on two days to the front so I can go hiking/camping. Does anyone have a recommendation as to where to go or not go?"I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalesna 0 #2 February 13, 2007 Don't go near the water!!!!Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katzeye 0 #3 February 13, 2007 I've been there, years ago. It will be cold and snowy this time of year as I recall. Can't remember the name, but I"m sure you can google quite a few of the "huts" you can sack out in and enjoy the nearby hotsprings! Hiking? Iceland is kinda flat and has no trees... Is a chicken omelette redundant? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headoverheels 333 #4 February 13, 2007 My brother was there a couple of years ago, and also about 35 years ago as a stopover on the way from Europe to US. On the recent trip, they hired a guide/jeep for a couple of days and toured around. He really liked it there. His son (about 22 at the time) and some other friend went along.

DJL 235 #5 February 13, 2007 I'll be there in late May, besides, snow and cold weather isn't a hindrance to me. I'm actually doing a lot of camping in the current East Coast snowy weather. I was thinking along the lines of some coastal areas or nifty geological features."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #6 February 13, 2007 Try the lonely planet forums and/or wesbite. You might get some good information there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites freeflychic 0 #7 February 13, 2007 I lived there for 2 years from '94-'96. There is some cool stuff to see like the Blue Lagoon, Gulfoss waterfalls, and you can do some glacier 4-wheeling too. Reykjavik is a pretty cool city to visit too. Summer is light about 22 hours of the day. Don't expect to see a lot of trees. Some nights you can really get an awesome view of the northern lights too. It is usually pretty windy there too, but the temps aren't all that bad. There are lots of pretty girls there too...all blond hair and blue eyed. Have fun!
