冰島：一個令人驚艷的北方國度
姑娘你入了我的法眼
冰島，一個從名字聽起來就很遙遠的國家，這是我想了好幾年，終於成行的地方，一開始覺得前往不易，但等到今年夏天成行了，才發現，原來在冰島旅行，一點都不難，而且每一步都是驚喜。儘管冰島在數年前的全球金融海嘯危機，冰島的破產曾使它一度成為全世界最早復甦的國家，但不過幾年的光景，冰島重新站起來了，這次在冰島旅遊的過程，完全感受不出它曾經有的蕭條。
相反的，冰島在觀光旅遊資源方面的用心規畫，相當令人敬佩。這次在冰島6天5夜的旅程中，我總共參加了5天當地旅行團的行程，而且從機場到旅館，以及每天的旅行團，全部都包括旅館點對點的接送服務，這也使得在冰島所有的花費都在控制範圍之內。
午夜時分天還亮著，6月底、7月初的冰島實際上是「日不落」，街上仍到處都是人群，剛在碼頭旁邊的餐廳吃完便宜的龍蝦，走在冰島首都雷克雅未克清爽的大街上，準備步行回旅館，一路上想著，在冰島的旅遊方式竟然出乎意料的便利，一年之後我一定要再來一次，這一次希望是9月來，在看完阿拉斯加的極光之後，「來看看冰島的極光！」
第一次前來冰島，選搭中國國際航空的飛機，行經北京，飛抵法蘭克福，再坐2小時的IC火車到科隆轉搭ICELAND EXPRESS的航班，歷時4個小時的飛行時間抵達冰島首都雷克雅未克。搭乘大陸航空公司飛往歐洲，已成為我前往歐洲自助旅行的主要方式，原因在於大陸航空公司便宜的稅費及燃料費，合計大約在8000至10000元台幣左右，相較搭其他航空公司可幫我省下不少錢，再者是飛北極大圓航線有助於縮短航程時間。
從距離雷克雅未克（Reykjavik）市區約50分鐘車程的Keflavik機場一下機，就更有在冰島自助旅行的信心，在機場旁就有已在台灣預約好的iceland excursions Grayline bus在旁邊等後，這個機場巴士服務真的很完善，哪怕你是午夜，或是凌晨的班機飛抵機場，只要提前預約好了，巴士照樣配合在機場等候把你送到旅館，對於地廣人稀的冰島來說，能有這樣的貼心旅遊服務，實令人放心不少。
而比起幾年前1冰島克朗兌0.4元台幣，現在冰島匯價又更便宜，是1冰島克朗兌0.25元台幣，相對也更適合前往旅遊了。
但即便如此，冰島住宿費與交通費比起其他歐洲國家仍來得高。此次透過booking.com選擇了在位於市區主要購物街附近的hotel Floki青年旅館住宿，5人房，35歐元一個晚上，一個床位，事先跟老爸借了睡袋，帶到旅館當作棉被使用，本來想住旅館，但想想冰島的旅館價格並不便宜，那時在網站上看到一個晚上最便宜的都得花上合計2700元以上台幣，由於參加的都是每天一去就10至16個小時的行程，待在旅館就是睡，因此實在捨不得花上這麼多錢住旅館，反而是有廚房的青年旅館較省錢、方便，這也是幾年自助旅行下來，第一次又住上了青年旅館。
這裡，先跟大家分享一些在冰島旅遊途中所攝的照片，等接下來再仔細說說5天的當地旅行團旅遊行程。

老衲法號亂來
在8000至10000元台幣左右？
請問是在哪個網站訂到那麼便宜的機票？

時光是把飼料
給樓上大大^_^
這是iceland express的網址。
http://www.icelandexpress.com/
其實，像www.easyjet.com也可試看看，但iceland express的飛行城市可選擇的點會比較多。
我這次是訂從科隆飛雷克雅維克的，大約提前1個半月訂。

歡迎調戲

我剛剛好像回答錯誤，仔細一看你的問題，它的燃料費及稅費是8000至10000元台幣，合計台北飛法蘭克福的整個機票含稅、費，是35000多元，另外，我訂了iceland express從柯隆飛雷克雅維克，再從雷克雅維克飛巴黎的機票，這樣從歐陸來回冰島的機票總共合算約9000元左右台幣。

先感謝已閱讀前面文章的朋友們的支持！接下來繼續寫。
現在，仔細介紹一下我所參加的當地旅行團。首先，有2個網站一定得讓朋友們知道，這是冰島旅行團的大本營，事實上，我猜想它們應該是國營的旅行社：
http://www.grayline.is/
http://www.tour.is/
其實，仔細比較這2家旅行社所提供的行程，你會發現相似度簡直是接近100%。我為了比較兩家旅行社的服務品質，因此特別有2個行程是選擇在後者的網站訂購，但實際參加了之後才發現，原來兩家旅行社是彼此行程互通的，差別只是在於在不同網站訂購而已。
參加當地旅行團的流程也很簡單，主要有四步驟：1、一大早，就在行程上約定的時間（在你選擇該行程時，通常是正式出發時間的前1小時）在旅館門口等候車子來接你。
2、車子接到你之後就前往碼頭旁，即主要購物街入口對面的旅行社接待中心。
3、你必須前往旅行社接待中心，用你在網路上取得的預定單，向櫃台服務人員換票券。
4、接待中心前面有一大片停車場，排滿各種不同行程的遊覽車，上面會貼著行程編號，以編號找到你的遊覽車之後，把票券交給司機，然後就上遊覽車，接著展開1天的行程。
這裡，把我這4天所參加的4個行程貼上來，讓大家參考。儘管這4個行程加起來，得花上新台幣約20000元，等於1個行程平均得花上5000元台幣，但是由於每天的行程都超過10個小時，其中有1天「三合一」的行程更達16個小時，直玩到午夜12點精疲力盡，同團還有很多遊客是從英國、挪威搭郵輪前來，一大早8點郵輪抵達雷克雅維克下船，直玩到午夜12點再由旅行團的遊覽車巴士送回郵輪，另外還有1天是14小時，所以我覺得非常物超所值。特別是其中一天「三合一」的行程，雖然不是最熱門的，但我在16小時之內，能玩遍冰島有名的金圈景點之外，還玩了好幾個大瀑布，實在很盡興，所以非常推薦。
以下，是我從6/27至6/30的4天旅行團行程，這裡稍微偷懶，不英譯中，但相信大家仍可很清楚看到其中行程的賣點。
6/27 AH74 Whale watching & golden circle afternoon
Why not add a Golden Circle Afternoon tour to your Whale Watching tour for a full day of fun? This is a perfect combination of tours AH75 Whale Watching and AH11 Golden Circle Afternoon.
On this whale watching tour you can see the whales in their native environment which is an unforgettable experience. The local bird life is diverse, including birds as the Puffin, Arctic Tern, Gannet and many varieties of Gull.
After the Whale Watching tour, passengers have time for lunch and a visit to the Whale Exhibition. Passengers that do not want to walk the 5-10 minutes back to our office and bus terminal are picked up at the harbour at 12:30 for the Golden Circle Afternoon tour, which leaves Reykjavík at 13:00. Those wishing to walk are asked to be at our office at the latest at 12:50.
We start the afternoon tour by visiting Þingvellir National Park, where the Icelandic parliament Alþingi was established in the year 930 AD. Geologically it is remarkable and there you can see tectonic plate boundaries that form a breathtaking scenery.
We also visit the impressive Gullfoss waterfall and the spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur.
Although this trip is a shortened version of our AH12 Golden Circle Classic tour, you will be visiting some of the very best historical sites and natural phenomena in the country. Before we return to Reykjavík we will pass Hveragerði greenhouse village.
6/28 TT42 The Platinum Circle—three in one
The tour begins witha drive along the scenic shores of Hvalfjörður Fjord, - The Whale Fjord. On the northern shores we visit the former whaling station, and then head to the Settlement Center in Borgarnes.
After visiting the exhibition at the settlement center we continue to Fossatún, where we will make a lunch break (not included in the tour price). From there we head to the historic Reykholt to view the exhibition at Snorrastofa. Our next stop is at the geothermal area of Deildartunguhver. From there we head to the pretty waterfalls Barnafossar and Hraunfossar. From the waterfalls we proceed over the Kaldidalur Pass to Langjökull glacier, the second largest in the country. We stop at Jaki for a walk towards the glacier. From here we continue to Þingvellir National Park, where we meet and join the Golden Circle Evening tour. Close up the circle to Reykjavik across Mosfellsheiði Heath.
We visit Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir geothermal area before we head back to Reykjavík.
6/29 TT08 Snaefellsnes National Park
We make our first stop after reaching the peninsula at Gerðuberg, a columnar basalt cliff in Hnappadalur valley, and Ölkelda, a natural spring of clean drinking water. We trave around the peninsula and to the Snæfellsnes National Park. On our way we will stop at Arnarstapi and enjoy its extraordinary shores and coastal scenery. Nature lovers will enjoy the spectacular landscapes and peculiarities of the area and spend some time hiking and bird watching along the precipitous coastline where seals are frequently seen.
We journey through the National Park with amazing bird life in summer. In this area there are many signs of volcanic activity in the past and numerous craters are found in this area.
Snæfellsjökull glacier is also a dormant volcano which attracts thousands of people every year. Some visitors assemble here regularly each summer to enjoy the energy radiation, as they believe it to be one of earths seven energy spots.
Before we return to Reykjavík we visit the charming Stykkishólmur village by Breiðafjörður bay.
TOURIS offer two different tours to Snæfellsnes Peninsula, which share the same bus transfer to and from Snæfellsnes. The tours split up after the visit to Gerðuberg and Ölkelda in the morning and are joined again in Stykkisholmur for the return trip to Reykjavík.
6/30 AH35 South coast& jokulsarlon glacial lagoon
This tour takes us along the beautiful south shore of Iceland to the extraordinary glacial lagoon, Jökulsárlón.
We will pass some charming villages as well as Skaftafell National Park and visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Skógafoss waterfall. Just before we reach the lagoon we pass Iceland’s biggest volcano, Öræfajökull glacier which has the highest peak of the island, Hvannadalshnjúkur (2110 m).
After we arrive at the lagoon we take a boat tour on the lagoon. Please note that the boat tours will not be available on April departures due to the amount of ice on the lagoon. These are expected to start in early May.
The boats that carry us are no ordinary boats as they are capable of driving short distances on land as well as sailing on the water.
Jökulsárlón started to form in the early nineteen twenties and is getting bigger every year. You will see many amazing blocks of ice that have broken off Europe’s biggest glacier, Vatnajökull, as they sail slowly towards the ocean which is only a kilometer away.
After a refreshing boat tour on the glacial lagoon, we head back to Reykjavík.
