Travel tips for Iceland: Exploring the land of fire and ice by camper

Icelandic company Vikurverk, specializing in motorhomes, caravans, and campers, announced an expansion of its product range and upcoming events. From September 7 to 11, special vehicle days will be held, featuring new and used models. The company also plans to unveil 2027 novelties in autumn and winter.

In their new show, Joko and Klaas travel to Iceland in an older camper. During a visit to a tomato farm in Fridheimar, they sample tomato beer and other alcoholic drinks, leaving Klaas unable to drive. Despite being told not to stay in the living area while the vehicle is moving, they continue drinking until the production team steps in and moves them to the crew car. The episode airs on ProSieben next Wednesday at 8:15 PM, with Joyn Plus subscribers able to watch it a week earlier.

In Iceland, renting a 4x4 camper is essential for accessing F-roads, which are off-limits to regular vehicles. Fines for entering these roads with an unauthorized vehicle exceed 2,000 euros and void any insurance. Rental prices range from 80–130 euros per day in the low season (October–April) to 180–350 euros in the high season (July–August). Winter tires with studs are mandatory from November to March, and most insurance policies do not cover water damage from river crossings. Experts recommend booking at least six months in advance.

EBS1 will broadcast a four-part series on Iceland from August 31 to September 3 at 8:40 PM. The show features travel writer Tae Won-jun, exploring natural wonders like glaciers, volcanoes, and geysers, as well as local culture.

In the new Joyn show 'Joko & Klaas machen Urlaub', the two TV hosts embark on a six-episode road trip through Iceland without challenges or games. In the first episode, it turns out Joko cannot drive because his license was revoked, and the pair clash over the destination and camping in freezing temperatures.

To travel to Iceland by motorhome, drivers must first reach the Danish port of Hirtshals, from where the Norröna ferry, the only one accepting vehicles, sails to Seyðisfjörður in eastern Iceland. The crossing takes 48 to 72 hours with a stop in the Faroe Islands, operates once a week, and requires booking several months in advance. Motorhome fares range from €800 to €2,500 one way, plus a cabin from €80. In Iceland, wild camping is prohibited, with 185 campsites and 5 service areas available; winter tyres are mandatory from 1 November to 15 April, and the blood alcohol limit is 0.2 g/L. Bringing pets requires a permit, a two-week quarantine, and rabies vaccination.
