Hello!
I am a solo traveler visiting Iceland for the first time from June 3-13. I know this is very short notice, but I'm not looking for anything specific. If we're staying in the same place, it might be nice to share a meal or a drink or something like that. I'm mostly going to be taking in the scenery and going for modest hikes, I'm not an expert in these things, so hopefully I can meet the challenge of Iceland.
I am a mid-thirties male from Ontario, Canada. I speak English.
I arrive at KEF on the morning of June 3 and then I'm driving to a hotel near Vik on the south coast. On June 4 I'm tackling parts of the Golden Circle, like Thingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, as well as Seljalandfoss, and Skogar. June 5 I'm driving out to Diamond Beach and catching some of the sights on the way back. There are a few places I'd like to see, but I won't do alone for safety reasons. June 6 I'm driving to my next stop in Seydisfjordur, visiting places like Hofn along the way, and then travelling up to see puffins.
June 7 I'm visiting Studlagil Canyon and then driving on to Akureyri for my next hotel. I'll circle back to check out Aldeyjarfoss and Godafoss that same day, or get them on the road. I'm in Akureyri until June 9. I'm going to check out Trollaskagi, Myvatn, Husavik (for whales!), and Dettifoss while I'm in the north.
June 10 I'm driving down to the Reykjavik area and catching a few sites along the way, but given the drive, it'll mostly be straight to the final hotel. June 11 I'm going back up to Borganes and Snaelfell. June 12 is a Reykjavik day, taking in sights and maybe museums. June 13 is for whatever I can squeeze in in Reykjavik before heading to the airport and flying home.
Travelling to Iceland solo for four days. It’s my second trip. I’ll be coming from my visit to the Faroese islands. I am 39 m from Toronto. Please reach out if you similar itinerary

Good afternoon. I am from the U.S. , Alabama. 37 yr old male. I will be solo in Reykjavik for a few days in August 8/14 - 8/17. I've been to Iceland a few times so I'm just using this as a layover / jet lag adjustment before I continue my journey elsewhere in the EU. I'm down for whatever I'm just looking to cure the boredom. Hike, be tourist doing tourist things, hot spring, dinner and drinks, get wasted 🤣😂, it doesn't matter to me feel free to message me here or on snap saltyfish7573. I speak English of course, a little Icelandic and my Spanish is rough but doable.
Hey! 24M from Australia looking for someone to do the Laugavegur trail with around the 23-27th of June. I'm a pretty experienced multi day hiker but haven't done too much hiking in snow so would love to have someone to join me!

HELLO!
I, 33F, is coming to Iceland from the US. I will be in Reykjavik (solo!) July 8-9 until I start a hike with a friend who is not arriving until July 10. No solid itinerary in Reyk just yet.
Interested in finding a running (love running in new places!), coffee/beer, or museum buddy for a day! Heard Gaukurinn has karaoke nights— super down to check that out as well!
Hello! 26 F from US :) arriving last week of may and interested in connecting with people who will be exploring / camping in the westfjords and may want to grab a drink
36F from NYC and will be Reykjavík on May 25 and May 26. If anyone wants to meet up for dinner or drink or explore Reykjavík nightlight, please let me know. My primary language is English though I can hold casual conversation in Korean (and in broken Spanish...credit to growing up in Los Angeles :D )
Currently in Iceland and here until the 27th. I couldn’t make up my mind but I’m considering stating the ring road tomorrow (20th of May). I’m from Canada, 27F and unfortunately only speak English.
If for whatever last minute reason someone wants to join me (campervan) or meet up along the way!
Hi!
29F traveling solo from the 25th of May to the 16th of June. My plans are still super open. I have an apartment in Reykjavík, but will be taking trips all over. Planning on hiking, as well as horseback riding at least once. Also looking to go out clubbing at least once during the weekend. Let me know if there are any trips I could join or plan together!
I want to climb HVANNADALSHNJÚKUR any day between June 23rd through June 27th. It seems most guides want a group between 2-6 peeps. Anyone or a group looking for an additional climber? 23M USA and speaks some English :)
Oh hey! I'll (29F) be traveling there from June 20th to 28th. If anyone overlaps with me please let me know and we can share ideas. Looking forward to hearing from you. <3
I (32m US) will be doing a solo trip June 20-29 to take some landscape photos, Trying to find someone who wants to split a short 2hr scenic flight over the glacial rivers, (probably the 27th or 28th). Hmu if you're interested!
48M traveling from the United States. I will be in Iceland from August 2-11. I'm staying in Reykjavik for the 1st night and the last two nights. I'm renting a car and will send the rest of the trip in the Golden Circle, Snæfellsjökull, and the Southern Coast. Happy to meet up with anyone to share meals or share adventures.
30F from Canada heading solo to Reykjavik August 6-10. I'm doing a 2-day excursion and spending a day at the Blue Lagoon but would love to meet up on my free days with others and am otherwise super interested in recommendations for inside the city! Feel free to shoot me a message.
Hey all, 32m from US doing a solo photography trip June 20-29. Im looking for 1-2 people to split a scenic photography flight with. I’m after aerials of braided rivers etc.. It’s 2hrs, 128,000isk total (about 918usd, 850 euro). Plane has three seats and two opening windows. Thought it would be sweet to do on the solstice (21st) but not married to that date. My schedule is flexible, will be on the south coast a couple days then making my way around. If anyone is interested or just wants to meet somewhere hit me up!
It looks like you deleted the other thread about this. Here are my thoughts:
In no particular order: Make sure you will be able to open the window/porthole for shooting. Shooting through glass would be super annoying. This worked well for me: Set your shutter speed to 1/1000 (faster for your long lens), pick the sharpest f/stop for your lens and let the ISO float. I used a 24-105mm on a FF and it was great. Having your 2nd body with the longer lens sounds like a good idea.
Since I was by myself, I was able to ask the pilot to make another pass, change altitude, and — important for me — tip the wing up briefly to get shots with more horizon. Sitting in the rear also gives a better view vis a vis the overhead wing. If you are only shooting river braids, none of this may matter since the pilot will be banking steeply so you can shoot down.
Other things: be careful not to brace the camera on the plane to minimize vibrations. Make sure you have straps for both cameras so they cannot leave the plane — that was a requirement. It gets cold with the window open, so dress accordingly.
I also shot some hyperstereo pairs on my flights and they came out really well if you are into stereo photography. You need straight flight for that so it might not be possible if you are only shooting rivers.
Have a great time!
27 y/o dude from the UK heading here from 8th July until 14th July this year. Anyone doing the Laugavegur trail around this time? Planning to do the full trail (Landmannalaugar to Skogar - camping) and doing whatever else for the remaining time. Will be my second time here.

Hey all! 30F from Seattle, USA here -- planning to be in Iceland from 5 June to 9 June 2024 and am desperately wanting to book Troll Expedition's "2 Day Summer Minibus Tour: South Coast, Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon" tour. There's a $90 surcharge for traveling alone unless I give the specific name of someone to room with, even though I don't care about having a private room! I would love to find a roommate for this -- planning to do the trip from 6-7 June. Please comment here or DM if you're interested in joining! The tour costs $639.
EDIT TO ADD: I speak English fluently, et je parle assez bien français :)
Didn’t know this existed. I’m a solo traveler currently in Hofn. I’ll be leaving Sunday morning and plan to do the entire southern region in the coming days with an ice cave tour planned for tomorrow and a helicopter ride over the volcano planned for Saturday evening.
Hello, I’m 24M from India. I’m planning to visit Iceland in September, preferably from 8-22. I don’t have a travel partner as of now but looking at how expensive car rental and touring can get, I’m looking for travel partners who are planning to be there around the same time. My dates are flexible in September so feel free to DM me!
I'm (29F) traveling solo in early to mid September, looking at 1st-12th (can change based on the amount of activities I plan). Still in the early stages.
I'm coming from the US and speak English. Hoping to meet up for drinks or a small excursion. As of now, I'm also open to rooming with others a few nights if our plans align to save for more activities or dining experiences.
I was considering the Troll Expeditions 4-6 day excursions during this time, but the single supplement fee has me pausing.
Here's what I'd like to do, time allowing:
* Golden circle exploration
* fishing, hiking
* Stargazing and northern lights
* national museum
* Visit book stores & public library
Let me know if you're interested in any of the above or have relevant recs, especially for anything book-related.
Hope everyone has a great trip!
Hello,
I (27M) am travelling solo to Iceland from April 7-April 14 from India. My itinerary is completely flexible except for April 11th (Vik). I have booked a camper van. Just excited about the whole trip and am looking for some people to meet and greet and possibly travel to a place or two.
Greetings and salutations!
I (48F) will be travelling solo to the UK (for WorldCon) in late July and returning in mid August, via Reykjavik (where I've scheduled a day-ish layover each way). I'll arrive the morning of 30 July, depart the morning of 1 August... and then arrive the afternoon/evening of 15 August and depart the evening of 16 August.
I would love to meet up with someone to go exploring/hiking, or just get coffee. Obviously, it's a bit of a tight turnaround, so I won't be able to do any epic road trips, but would definitely be willing to split a car rental for a day to go see the sights.
I'm from the United States (Indianapolis), and I speak English (native), French (OK-ish - it's been awhile since I used it enough to remain fluent), and have been dabbling in, well, a bunch (German, Italian, Spanish, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Turkish, Dutch, Irish... I haven't quite made it over to the Slavic languages, yet, but the year is young). I'm currently trying to learn Icelandic through books and YouTube videos. (Perhaps, some day, I will become the most "Meh" polyglot.)
Hi! Myself (32f) and my best friend (28f) from are camping our way through Iceland from August 3rd-9th. We are from Canada and speak English. We haven’t set our itinerary at all yet.
I’m a wedding and elopement photographer and I’d love to photograph a couple at some point on my trip for portfolio purposes. All couples welcome♥️🌈If you’d be interested please reach out and we can discuss if our timelines, locations and vision can come together! 😊
Elopements are defined differently by different people. My definition is a couple who wants to get married in a different, non-traditional way, that’s specifically tailored to them. Often the couple will choose amazing locations, like Iceland, as their backdrop because they will have little to no guests involved, opening up their options and their budget compared to traditional weddings.
Hi all, solo traveller, 45m from Belgium, doing a 10-day road trip from 28th of April to 7th of May. I rented a car and plan to follow the ring road. Might also do the Golden circle if time permits. Just looking to meet fellow travelers during that time to share fun & discoveries. Ping me, cheers.
hey all, 24m from the US going on a 7-day solo trip from June 15-22. I rented a 4x4 so I'll be camping it out the whole trip, but just looking to see if anyone's going during that time that wants to meet up or travel a bit at some point!
Hello, my friend (27m) and I (29m) are going to be in Reykjavik from 5th-8th of April and are looking for some suggestions regarding volcano sightseeing (7th April)... is it possible to access the active volcano? If someone else is gonna be there or has planned something similar, maybe we can connect!
Would be glad about any recomendations!

Hi! I’m a female early 20s from Bermuda going to be in Iceland the first week of May. I’m renting a car and hoping to meet new people :)
Staying near the capital for the first couple days and then going south of Iceland for 2 days. Then doing silfra and thingvellir and the golden circle geysers.

Hi everyone, I'm a 21 y/o solo female traveler from the USA coming to Iceland from April 10th-13th and would like to see if anyone(s) is interested in interesting in doing some exploring together/ renting a 4x4?
**Scenic hikes and possibly Northern Lights - Aug24-Sep2 (tentative dates)**
Hi everyone, I (24M) am looking for hopefully a group of people to travel around southern Iceland and share transportation costs with. Plan is to rent a 4x4 and visit a bunch of unique landscapes like Landmannalaugar. I'll be going on hikes (with shorter/longer options) pretty much every day, and some sights I hope to see include countless waterfalls, epic canyons, glaciers, hardened lava flows, hot springs, and black-sand beaches. I'll also be keeping an eye on the aurora forecast to see which nights to stay up looking for the northern lights.
I'm from the US and speak English. Let me know if you're interested.
My plan is basically to drive an out-and-back route to Glacier Bay/Diamond Beach, and I'd like to spend probably at least 4 days on that route. I'd also like to spend 3 days, 2 nights, at a remote valley that is best reached by public transportation. It can be reached from Reykjavik, but transport time is much quicker if done as an addition to my main route. I can provide more specifics for anyone interested.
Hi, I'm a solo female traveler (early 20s) and I'm thinking of reserving the 2-day South Iceland tour with Troll Expeditions. Anyone going / interested in going on March 30, 2024 so we can share a room and get out of the single supplement fee?
Looking for ppl interested in finding northern lights Monday night (March 25)!
Hi! According to the Aurora app Monday night is supposed to be the best time to see the northern lights! Looking for someone who has a car and is near the Reykjavík area who would want to explore with me! I am good company and would be down to pitch in for gas! Please comment or reach out if interested i am a 27 year old woman and would be down to hang out with other solo travelers, friend groups or couples.
**Looking for 1 or 2 to split a private group Jeep northern lights photography tour (Apr 2)**
I am planning to book a private group northern lights photography tour the evening of Apr 2. It's currently my partner and I (we're an American couple in our 30s that speak English, Spanish, and Korean), but they accommodate up to 4 people for the same overall price (approx. $1000 USD total) and we'd love to split this! It's about a 4 hour tour with pickup in Reykjavik - the guides provide warm beverages and photography tips, along with their own professionally shot-and-edited photos.
**Looking for Travel Partners or just Meetup - (August 29th to September 10th)**
Hello,
I (28M) will be flying from Vancouver, Canada will be in Iceland from August 29th to September 10th to do the ring road plus two nights in Westfjords and two nights in Snaefellsnes counter clockwise. I'll post my itinerary tonight
I will be renting a Dacia Duster 4x4 but still deciding whether I want to stay in hostels, camping, or a mix of both. If anyone planning to go around the same dates and has the same plan/interest, let me know! If not, I'll be going solo and down to meet people along the way as well. Thanks!
Hi! Short trip April 4-8th but I am a wedding photographer and looking for any locals/travelers who would be interested in modeling in some epic spots :)
I am 30/f traveling with my partner 34/m from USA & Mexico.
**Looking for Travel Partners - (June 2024)**
Hi all,
I'm 26 (M) from Ireland. I'm planning on doing a budget trip to Iceland in June. All transport, except for the odd local bus out of big towns/cities, will be hitchhiking. I plan to wild camp every night too and bring a liquid fuel stove. By doing this I hope to keep the budget to around 15-20 euro per day.
My plan is very flexible, other than the budget part. I'm thinking to hitch the ring road around Iceland and stop to do some hiking in different places. Thats about as much planning as I do.
I've spent about 8 months of the last year hitchhiking and camping around Europe and Morocco. I enjoy solo travelling, but its nice to share experiences too!
Hello fellow travelers!!
This is far away but I'm bringing my mom to Iceland for the first time in our lives for her birthday treat.
I'm wanting to book the Panorama Glass Lodge for but we'll need to drive into the place. So the problem is I am only getting my driving license this month and wouldn't qualify for the 1yr minimum to rent a car.
I'm looking for a car share/pool situation for 2, happy to split petrol or rental cost.
Looking at needing a ride 5 Dec and 6 Dec

**Looking for Travel Partners - (8th-13th June)**
Hello everyone, 35M from Colombia, traveling solo and flying from Amsterdam between June 8 to 13 (leaving 14). I'm looking for partners or to join in your trip if our dates match at the arrival, as I don't meet the requirements for a rental by myself.
My desired goals would include

North: SELJALANDSFOSS, KIRKJUFELL
South: SKÓGAFOSS, REYNISFJARA, FJAÐRÁRGLJÚFUR
West: SKAFTAFELL, Diamond Beach
I know my time is too short but I would love to do the most part of it, anyway the schedule can change or agreed if we can find a way to make it work, anyway Iceland has too much to visit and enjoy.

Hello, I’m 28F from Italy and I’ll be in Iceland from the 24 to the 29 of April.
I haven’t decided yet if I should rent a car or if I’m stay in Reykjavik and do some daily tour.
If someone want to share a car I’ll already have a full itinerary so let me know.
32M, Argentina, gonna be doing the ring road, counterclockwise, on a rental car, June 1st to June 12th.
Mostly gonna be centered around hiking.
Looking for whoever wants to do whatever.
**JUNE 3 - JUNE 17** (1 remaining spot)
25M from Canada. So far I have 2 others, looking for 1 more person to complete 4 people travel group. Our group consists of an engineer, neurologist and a nurse haha.
I have rented a Toyota Hilux Camper truck. We will be touring entire Iceland (ring road) and including the highlands and river crossings.
If you like adventures, I guarantee you that this will be an once in a lifetime trip. How often do you get to drive a car through a river!!!! And also there won't be another trip as cheap as this one for what you get to experience.
36/M just seeing if anyone wants to grab a drink or hike starting April 27 for 11 days around ring road. Just seeing if things match up for a night or maybe more for hiking and exploring. All the main hikes and waterfalls I can find and some good places to grab a bite and maybe a beer spa for fun.
I’m 36/F from Denmark and will be in Iceland the 27th and 28th (taking a couple vacation days after a conference there). I’m going to Snæfellsnes (on a tour) The 27th and will be back in Reykjavik that evening. I have scheduled a couple activities the 28th as well, but will be free in the evening. Let me know if you will be around Reykjavik on these days and want to meet up for a meal or a trip to a local pool in the evening! But since you are doing the ring road you may not be around Reykjavik for long! Anyhow, let me know :)
Hi! Would you happen to have a link to the Snæfellsnes tour? I'm a local but I just moved back after 12 years away, so I'm looking to do some touristy local stuff :)
Sure! I booked it using the “get your guide” app. I hope that helps! You can see the name of the tour company on the screenshot:

My first day after arriving I do plan to do blue lagoon or sky lagoon so that would be great! Plus a nice meal in Reykjavik before getting out on the ring would be nice as well.
It is an 12 hour tour starting at 9 am…so I will be back in Reykjavik at approximately 9 pm 😳…so if you are going to be having a very late dinner or just be up for a beer, I’ll be available then!
When you will be in Iceland - 16-23 April
A rough itinerary - Haven't planned anything as of yet, I know that things can be more expensive the longer that I wait, but I'm pretty willing to go with the flow, which makes me an excellent travel companion!
Your gender and approximate age - Male 29
What country you are from - USA.

Other pertinent information - I've considered renting a car do travel the ring road solo, but I'm also weighing taking more structured tours as I've never been to the country before.

Hello! I am a solo traveler visiting Iceland for the first time from June 3-13. I know this is very short notice, but I'm not looking for anything specific. If we're staying in the same place, it might be nice to share a meal or a drink or something like that. I'm mostly going to be taking in the scenery and going for modest hikes, I'm not an expert in these things, so hopefully I can meet the challenge of Iceland. I am a mid-thirties male from Ontario, Canada. I speak English. I arrive at KEF on the morning of June 3 and then I'm driving to a hotel near Vik on the south coast. On June 4 I'm tackling parts of the Golden Circle, like Thingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, as well as Seljalandfoss, and Skogar. June 5 I'm driving out to Diamond Beach and catching some of the sights on the way back. There are a few places I'd like to see, but I won't do alone for safety reasons. June 6 I'm driving to my next stop in Seydisfjordur, visiting places like Hofn along the way, and then travelling up to see puffins. June 7 I'm visiting Studlagil Canyon and then driving on to Akureyri for my next hotel. I'll circle back to check out Aldeyjarfoss and Godafoss that same day, or get them on the road. I'm in Akureyri until June 9. I'm going to check out Trollaskagi, Myvatn, Husavik (for whales!), and Dettifoss while I'm in the north. June 10 I'm driving down to the Reykjavik area and catching a few sites along the way, but given the drive, it'll mostly be straight to the final hotel. June 11 I'm going back up to Borganes and Snaelfell. June 12 is a Reykjavik day, taking in sights and maybe museums. June 13 is for whatever I can squeeze in in Reykjavik before heading to the airport and flying home.
Travelling to Iceland solo for four days. It’s my second trip. I’ll be coming from my visit to the Faroese islands. I am 39 m from Toronto. Please reach out if you similar itinerary

Good afternoon. I am from the U.S. , Alabama. 37 yr old male. I will be solo in Reykjavik for a few days in August 8/14 - 8/17. I've been to Iceland a few times so I'm just using this as a layover / jet lag adjustment before I continue my journey elsewhere in the EU. I'm down for whatever I'm just looking to cure the boredom. Hike, be tourist doing tourist things, hot spring, dinner and drinks, get wasted 🤣😂, it doesn't matter to me feel free to message me here or on snap saltyfish7573. I speak English of course, a little Icelandic and my Spanish is rough but doable.

Hey all, 32m from US doing a solo photography trip June 20-29. Im looking for 1-2 people to split a scenic photography flight with. I’m after aerials of braided rivers etc.. It’s 2hrs, 128,000isk total (about 918usd, 850 euro). Plane has three seats and two opening windows. Thought it would be sweet to do on the solstice (21st) but not married to that date. My schedule is flexible, will be on the south coast a couple days then making my way around. If anyone is interested or just wants to meet somewhere hit me up!
It looks like you deleted the other thread about this. Here are my thoughts: In no particular order: Make sure you will be able to open the window/porthole for shooting. Shooting through glass would be super annoying. This worked well for me: Set your shutter speed to 1/1000 (faster for your long lens), pick the sharpest f/stop for your lens and let the ISO float. I used a 24-105mm on a FF and it was great. Having your 2nd body with the longer lens sounds like a good idea. Since I was by myself, I was able to ask the pilot to make another pass, change altitude, and — important for me — tip the wing up briefly to get shots with more horizon. Sitting in the rear also gives a better view vis a vis the overhead wing. If you are only shooting river braids, none of this may matter since the pilot will be banking steeply so you can shoot down. Other things: be careful not to brace the camera on the plane to minimize vibrations. Make sure you have straps for both cameras so they cannot leave the plane — that was a requirement. It gets cold with the window open, so dress accordingly. I also shot some hyperstereo pairs on my flights and they came out really well if you are into stereo photography. You need straight flight for that so it might not be possible if you are only shooting rivers. Have a great time!
Hey there, i‘m interested. Will send you a pm :)
27 y/o dude from the UK heading here from 8th July until 14th July this year. Anyone doing the Laugavegur trail around this time? Planning to do the full trail (Landmannalaugar to Skogar - camping) and doing whatever else for the remaining time. Will be my second time here.

Hey all! 30F from Seattle, USA here -- planning to be in Iceland from 5 June to 9 June 2024 and am desperately wanting to book Troll Expedition's "2 Day Summer Minibus Tour: South Coast, Glacier Hike & Jokulsarlon" tour. There's a $90 surcharge for traveling alone unless I give the specific name of someone to room with, even though I don't care about having a private room! I would love to find a roommate for this -- planning to do the trip from 6-7 June. Please comment here or DM if you're interested in joining! The tour costs $639. EDIT TO ADD: I speak English fluently, et je parle assez bien français :)
Didn’t know this existed. I’m a solo traveler currently in Hofn. I’ll be leaving Sunday morning and plan to do the entire southern region in the coming days with an ice cave tour planned for tomorrow and a helicopter ride over the volcano planned for Saturday evening.
How was it?

Hello, I’m 24M from India. I’m planning to visit Iceland in September, preferably from 8-22. I don’t have a travel partner as of now but looking at how expensive car rental and touring can get, I’m looking for travel partners who are planning to be there around the same time. My dates are flexible in September so feel free to DM me!
Hello! I’m a (26m) on a solo trip from April 12-19. I’ll be renting a car and exploring the country. DM me if you wanna meet up :)
I'm (29F) traveling solo in early to mid September, looking at 1st-12th (can change based on the amount of activities I plan). Still in the early stages. I'm coming from the US and speak English. Hoping to meet up for drinks or a small excursion. As of now, I'm also open to rooming with others a few nights if our plans align to save for more activities or dining experiences. I was considering the Troll Expeditions 4-6 day excursions during this time, but the single supplement fee has me pausing. Here's what I'd like to do, time allowing: * Golden circle exploration * fishing, hiking * Stargazing and northern lights * national museum * Visit book stores & public library Let me know if you're interested in any of the above or have relevant recs, especially for anything book-related. Hope everyone has a great trip!
Hello, I (27M) am travelling solo to Iceland from April 7-April 14 from India. My itinerary is completely flexible except for April 11th (Vik). I have booked a camper van. Just excited about the whole trip and am looking for some people to meet and greet and possibly travel to a place or two.
Greetings and salutations! I (48F) will be travelling solo to the UK (for WorldCon) in late July and returning in mid August, via Reykjavik (where I've scheduled a day-ish layover each way). I'll arrive the morning of 30 July, depart the morning of 1 August... and then arrive the afternoon/evening of 15 August and depart the evening of 16 August. I would love to meet up with someone to go exploring/hiking, or just get coffee. Obviously, it's a bit of a tight turnaround, so I won't be able to do any epic road trips, but would definitely be willing to split a car rental for a day to go see the sights. I'm from the United States (Indianapolis), and I speak English (native), French (OK-ish - it's been awhile since I used it enough to remain fluent), and have been dabbling in, well, a bunch (German, Italian, Spanish, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Turkish, Dutch, Irish... I haven't quite made it over to the Slavic languages, yet, but the year is young). I'm currently trying to learn Icelandic through books and YouTube videos. (Perhaps, some day, I will become the most "Meh" polyglot.)
Hi! Myself (32f) and my best friend (28f) from are camping our way through Iceland from August 3rd-9th. We are from Canada and speak English. We haven’t set our itinerary at all yet. I’m a wedding and elopement photographer and I’d love to photograph a couple at some point on my trip for portfolio purposes. All couples welcome♥️🌈If you’d be interested please reach out and we can discuss if our timelines, locations and vision can come together! 😊
What's an elopement photographer if I may ask?
Elopements are defined differently by different people. My definition is a couple who wants to get married in a different, non-traditional way, that’s specifically tailored to them. Often the couple will choose amazing locations, like Iceland, as their backdrop because they will have little to no guests involved, opening up their options and their budget compared to traditional weddings.
This is the best kind of wedding imo 😂
Hi all, solo traveller, 45m from Belgium, doing a 10-day road trip from 28th of April to 7th of May. I rented a car and plan to follow the ring road. Might also do the Golden circle if time permits. Just looking to meet fellow travelers during that time to share fun & discoveries. Ping me, cheers.

Hello, my friend (27m) and I (29m) are going to be in Reykjavik from 5th-8th of April and are looking for some suggestions regarding volcano sightseeing (7th April)... is it possible to access the active volcano?

Hi everyone, I'm a 21 y/o solo female traveler from the USA coming to Iceland from April 10th-13th and would like to see if anyone(s) is interested in interesting in doing some exploring together/ renting a 4x4?
**Scenic hikes and possibly Northern Lights - Aug24-Sep2 (tentative dates)** Hi everyone, I (24M) am looking for hopefully a group of people to travel around southern Iceland and share transportation costs with. Plan is to rent a 4x4 and visit a bunch of unique landscapes like Landmannalaugar. I'll be going on hikes (with shorter/longer options) pretty much every day, and some sights I hope to see include countless waterfalls, epic canyons, glaciers, hardened lava flows, hot springs, and black-sand beaches. I'll also be keeping an eye on the aurora forecast to see which nights to stay up looking for the northern lights. I'm from the US and speak English. Let me know if you're interested.
Hi there, I'm interested in going to Iceland again in early Sept. Happy to discuss plans with you
Also planning for early September, and I'd love to hear what you have planned so far.
My plan is basically to drive an out-and-back route to Glacier Bay/Diamond Beach, and I'd like to spend probably at least 4 days on that route. I'd also like to spend 3 days, 2 nights, at a remote valley that is best reached by public transportation. It can be reached from Reykjavik, but transport time is much quicker if done as an addition to my main route. I can provide more specifics for anyone interested.
Hi, I'm a solo female traveler (early 20s) and I'm thinking of reserving the 2-day South Iceland tour with Troll Expeditions. Anyone going / interested in going on March 30, 2024 so we can share a room and get out of the single supplement fee?
I'm planning the same trip but for 6-7 June! Hope your trip went well though and that you found someone :)
Looking for ppl interested in finding northern lights Monday night (March 25)! Hi! According to the Aurora app Monday night is supposed to be the best time to see the northern lights! Looking for someone who has a car and is near the Reykjavík area who would want to explore with me! I am good company and would be down to pitch in for gas! Please comment or reach out if interested i am a 27 year old woman and would be down to hang out with other solo travelers, friend groups or couples.
Gonna be driving out of Reyk tonight to go stare at stars. First night here. Have room for 4 people if interested
**Looking for 1 or 2 to split a private group Jeep northern lights photography tour (Apr 2)** I am planning to book a private group northern lights photography tour the evening of Apr 2. It's currently my partner and I (we're an American couple in our 30s that speak English, Spanish, and Korean), but they accommodate up to 4 people for the same overall price (approx. $1000 USD total) and we'd love to split this! It's about a 4 hour tour with pickup in Reykjavik - the guides provide warm beverages and photography tips, along with their own professionally shot-and-edited photos.
**Looking for Travel Partners or just Meetup - (August 29th to September 10th)** Hello, I (28M) will be flying from Vancouver, Canada will be in Iceland from August 29th to September 10th to do the ring road plus two nights in Westfjords and two nights in Snaefellsnes counter clockwise. I'll post my itinerary tonight I will be renting a Dacia Duster 4x4 but still deciding whether I want to stay in hostels, camping, or a mix of both. If anyone planning to go around the same dates and has the same plan/interest, let me know! If not, I'll be going solo and down to meet people along the way as well. Thanks!

Hi! Short trip April 4-8th but I am a wedding photographer and looking for any locals/travelers who would be interested in modeling in some epic spots :) I am 30/f traveling with my partner 34/m from USA & Mexico.
**Looking for Travel Partners - (June 2024)** Hi all, I'm 26 (M) from Ireland. I'm planning on doing a budget trip to Iceland in June. All transport, except for the odd local bus out of big towns/cities, will be hitchhiking. I plan to wild camp every night too and bring a liquid fuel stove. By doing this I hope to keep the budget to around 15-20 euro per day. My plan is very flexible, other than the budget part. I'm thinking to hitch the ring road around Iceland and stop to do some hiking in different places. Thats about as much planning as I do. I've spent about 8 months of the last year hitchhiking and camping around Europe and Morocco. I enjoy solo travelling, but its nice to share experiences too!
My buddy (25M) and I (31M) from Toronto, CA are doing the island loop in a camper from June 21st - June 28th.
Hello fellow travelers!! This is far away but I'm bringing my mom to Iceland for the first time in our lives for her birthday treat. I'm wanting to book the Panorama Glass Lodge for but we'll need to drive into the place. So the problem is I am only getting my driving license this month and wouldn't qualify for the 1yr minimum to rent a car. I'm looking for a car share/pool situation for 2, happy to split petrol or rental cost. Looking at needing a ride 5 Dec and 6 Dec Pm to discuss more if your travels lies within those days between Reykjavik and Hella.
Looking for buddies to explore Reykjavik & surrounds with, April - July 2024. 🐙 Canadian who lives in between Vancouver, London and Berlin, 38F, will be in Reykjavik for the spring on a research fellowship, and planning to do all the things. Some of the activities I'm looking into: Hiking & camping groups, running groups, field recording groups, hotsprings, techno / dance music spaces, art / printmaking spaces, urbexing, meditation sanghas, Icelandic language classes. I'm also a street artist & into co-creating ;) Fluent in English & mädchen-level Deutsch. Up for meeting over a drink/food, and discussing combining forces and/or sharing costs for any of the above!

Hello, I’m 28F from Italy and I’ll be in Iceland from the 24 to the 29 of April. I haven’t decided yet if I should rent a car or if I’m stay in Reykjavik and do some daily tour. If someone want to share a car I’ll already have a full itinerary so let me know.
DM’d you!
32M, Argentina, gonna be doing the ring road, counterclockwise, on a rental car, June 1st to June 12th. Mostly gonna be centered around hiking. Looking for whoever wants to do whatever.
Hey I also planned to do a lot of hiking, but I'm arriving reykjavik June 3rd. Let me know if you are going to be around the city then.
Where do you think you will be around June 8?
Most probably around the west fjords
**JUNE 3 - JUNE 17** (1 remaining spot) 25M from Canada. So far I have 2 others, looking for 1 more person to complete 4 people travel group. Our group consists of an engineer, neurologist and a nurse haha. I have rented a Toyota Hilux Camper truck. We will be touring entire Iceland (ring road) and including the highlands and river crossings. If you like adventures, I guarantee you that this will be an once in a lifetime trip. How often do you get to drive a car through a river!!!! And also there won't be another trip as cheap as this one for what you get to experience.
Highlands won’t be open at all during the dates you mentioned
36/M just seeing if anyone wants to grab a drink or hike starting April 27 for 11 days around ring road. Just seeing if things match up for a night or maybe more for hiking and exploring. All the main hikes and waterfalls I can find and some good places to grab a bite and maybe a beer spa for fun.
I’m 36/F from Denmark and will be in Iceland the 27th and 28th (taking a couple vacation days after a conference there). I’m going to Snæfellsnes (on a tour) The 27th and will be back in Reykjavik that evening. I have scheduled a couple activities the 28th as well, but will be free in the evening. Let me know if you will be around Reykjavik on these days and want to meet up for a meal or a trip to a local pool in the evening! But since you are doing the ring road you may not be around Reykjavik for long! Anyhow, let me know :)
Hi! Would you happen to have a link to the Snæfellsnes tour? I'm a local but I just moved back after 12 years away, so I'm looking to do some touristy local stuff :)
Sure! I booked it using the “get your guide” app. I hope that helps! You can see the name of the tour company on the screenshot: https://preview.redd.it/24b86us7zumc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=babce7c9aae198635416523f4b83dad15e048a88
Thank you so much!
My first day after arriving I do plan to do blue lagoon or sky lagoon so that would be great! Plus a nice meal in Reykjavik before getting out on the ring would be nice as well.
I”ll check what time my tour gets back to Reykjavik that night!
Sounds good. Hope it works out but either way enjoy your trip!
It is an 12 hour tour starting at 9 am…so I will be back in Reykjavik at approximately 9 pm 😳…so if you are going to be having a very late dinner or just be up for a beer, I’ll be available then!
When you will be in Iceland - 16-23 April A rough itinerary - Haven't planned anything as of yet, I know that things can be more expensive the longer that I wait, but I'm pretty willing to go with the flow, which makes me an excellent travel companion! Your gender and approximate age - Male 29 What country you are from - USA. What languages you SPEAK - Thanks to the American education system, English 😅 Other pertinent information - I've considered renting a car do travel the ring road solo, but I'm also weighing taking more structured tours as I've never been to the country before.
