I would then recommend going in the summer rather than the winter. That way you don’t have to worry about snow and ice. You should be able to view the major sites and waterfalls, but you won’t be able to climb to the top or behind them. Skip any tour that includes the glacier walking and think about whether you have the leg strength to walk on the black sand beach. Reykjavik itself is pretty flat and compact, so you should be able to handle it pretty well. Have fun.

I’d love to do the crazy roads as a summer trip there.

Thanks. I felt bad because I was sort of hogging the cave entrance but I wanted the shot!

I’d like to visit in the warmer weather too. I’d feel more comfortable doing a self drive and the landscape looks very different.

Keep an eye out for good deals on Wow Air and just book it.

I did make it to iceland in winter and LOVED it, but I didn’t know about that cave. I’ll have to go back. We went there on a super-cheap wow flight too. 😉
