Iceland Suggested Trips

First of all 1 day is way to short of a time to visit Iceland. But if that's the situation then I recommend the Golden Circle, many travel agencies offer this trip but you can also drive this route by yourself with a rental and a good map. You start going east from Reykjavík to Geysir, that's about 1 and half hour drive. From there you go little bit further north, for about 10 min, there is Gullfoss (Golden falls), that's one of the most powerful waterfall in Europe. From Gullfoss you go almost the same way back to Þingvellir (Thingvellir) where Europe and North America meet, you should walk a little bit in Almannagjá (The Rift) and check out the river Öxará that runs through it. If you have some spare time you can drive downtown Reykjavík but it has to really short if you want to go to the Blue Lagoon. You should be able to do that in 1 day if you wake up early.

2. Mike's Tip on Keflavik
Keflavik, Iceland
To see the northern lights, dont pay an expensive bus trip, take you car, sit near one of the hotels and follow the bus, the drivers know where the best spots to see them are, and you can drive on about 200 metres and get away from the crowd, noise light (and people thinking they can take a photo of the northern lights with a flash!)

3. Mike's Tip on Keflavik
Keflavik, Iceland
Take an SLR camera with a strong tripod and a 18-55 lense for the best photos of the Northern lights. The lights a very hard to capture on camera, take lots of shots at different exposures (at maximum appeture) at for best results

4. Nathan's Tip on Reykjavik
Reykjavik, Iceland
Iceland is a great place to visit for up to a week. Just don't stay in Reykjavik for the whole time... you will get bored. Rent a car and drive into the countryside fro a lot o variety.
