About Isnet

Isnet publishes practical guides to Iceland: how long the drive really takes, what it costs in krona, which month makes a plan work or ruin it, and what to do when the weather removes the day you planned. Every useful Iceland itinerary has a version that skips something, and the pages here are written on that assumption.

The country is covered region by region - the capital, the south, the Westfjords, the north, the east and Snaefellsnes - with individual pages for the sights people actually search for by name. This site has been publishing on Iceland for some time and the guides are being rewritten and extended rather than replaced; where an older page has moved, its address redirects to the page that succeeded it.

Facts come from primary sources. Road status and closures are checked against road.is, weather and aurora forecasts against vedur.is, and highland F-road opening dates against the road authority rather than against last year’s dates, because they move by weeks. Prices are in krona with the month they were checked. Anything numeric carries the date it was checked, because a price without a date is not information. Geographic data comes from GeoNames and OpenStreetMap, photographs from Wikimedia Commons under their individual Creative Commons licences, and time zone data from the IANA database.

We do not accept payment for a placement, a ranking or a favourable review. Where a link earns a commission, the page carrying it says so. We do not claim to have tested something we have not: plan details and prices that come from a provider rather than from our own checking are labelled as such. And we do not publish a page to fill a gap in a keyword list.

If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and say that we did. Email team@isnet.is with the page and what is inaccurate. Corrections to a specific fact are made on the page, and the update date on the page changes with them.
