Here’s the cost breakdown from my trip to Iceland! There were 4 of us and we spent 3 nights in the country 🇮🇸

Iceland is *not cheap* and our trip was in the mid-range budget - we stayed in a lovely Airbnb (tagged below), and ate out 3 times. You can cut these costs by staying in hostels, bringing your own gear instead of renting, and not eating out! 

Here’s a little look at what we spent: 

Transport:
Car rental - £118 for 4 days from reykjavikrentacar 
Petrol - £130 for two full tanks 
(£62 per person) 

Accommodation: £1,083 for three nights 
(£270 per person)

Sightseeing costs
Secret lagoon with towel & bikini rental: £29 per person
Kerid Crater cost: £3 per person
Parking: £6 total
(£33 per person)

Food 
Supermarket shop: £52
Snack stops at garages: £10
Two Lunches: £45 
One nice Reykjavik Dinner: £60
(£162 per person)

Clothing rental: £110 from iceland.cover 

Total per person for 3 nights: £637 / €743 

What do you think?

 I feel like it was so worth what we spent! We definitely could have cut that down a fair bit with a cheaper place to stay and not renting gear. But I loved our Airbnb so much that I was so happy to spend that money! We saw the northern lights from our deck, had 3 big bedrooms, and could cook each night and morning which kept our food costs down a lot. The Airbnb is blueberry_hills_villa if you want to check it out ❤️ 

It does make me a little bit ill that I could do a month in Thailand for this amount of money 🙃🙃 But some countries are worth the splurge, and Iceland is definitely one of those (Japan & New Zealand are others!)
