Travel Man: 96 Hours in Iceland review – farewell Richard Ayoade, hello Joe Lycett
The Birmingham comic is joined by Bill Bailey to eat tomatoes and form a punk band in his debut as the new host of Channel 4’s holiday show. But Ayoade fans may miss his trademark quirks
R ichard Ayoade brings a strange sense of dislocation with him everywhere he goes – as a presenter on The Crystal Maze , a panellist on quizshows and in characters such as Moss in The IT Crowd and Dean Learner and Thornton Reed in Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace. It jibed particularly well with his stint as Channel 4’s eponymous Travel Man, a role from which he has stepped down. His detached oddity added a much-needed freshness to the travelogue format and gave his weekly companion a challenge to which to rise, lending each episode of the nine series he hosted a bit of bite.
This episode welcomes the new presenter, Joe Lycett , with what is effectively a Christmas special. Travel Man: 96 Hours in Iceland follows the usual format, but the participants – Lycett’s companion here is the suitably trollish Bill Bailey – get double the usual 48 hours to sample the delights of their destination.
It is a perfectly enjoyable hour in their company. They journey – partly by husky-drawn sledge – around a country that spreads 200 active volcanoes and a population the size of Coventry’s across nearly 100,000 gorgeously frozen square kilometres. They visit geothermally heated waters, eat in an all-tomato restaurant (within an enormous greenhouse that produces one-fifth of Iceland’s annual fruit production), watch the aurora borealis from a transparent hotel pod and jam as “Rancid Minibreak” in the sound booth of the Icelandic Punk Museum, which is housed in a repurposed public toilet.
They travel to Dimmuborgir, where the earth is said to meet the underworld, and to the Cave of the Yule Lads. These are 13 mischievous figures (with names such as Sausage Swiper, Door Slammer and Spoon Licker) of seasonal folklore. They put toys in the shoes of good children on Christmas Eve and leave potatoes in those of the others. They are – at least for the purposes of cameras and/or December – embodied by 13 men who seem very happy making believe in their rustic-elf costumes. Lycett looks discomfited by it all. Bailey looks as if he has come home.
It is a busy but essentially soothing 96 hours. As ever, the sights are captioned with salient facts and labelled with prices, giving us the total cost of the trip at the end of the show, in case we wish to get off our bums and – pandemic permitting – emulate it.
Lycett is a perfectly good presenter and Bailey a perfectly good guest. They alternate as foil and comedian while felting miniature troll-Baileys, boiling eggs on the ends of fishing lines dropped into thermal vents (“That’s what I got into showbiz for”) and gazing up at Guðjón Samúelsson ’s extraordinary concrete church, Hallgrímskirkja, which towers over Reykjavik.
There are moments when the pair stray into strained banter territory, but there is also plenty of good, easy stuff. Emerging from a tiny earthquake simulator in a shopping centre after an underwhelming seismic simulation, Lycett says thoughtfully: “I would say, in a shopping centre, this would be a space a Timpson could take.” As they fly in a tiny plane along Iceland’s longest fjord, Lycett notes that he is hoping to see a whale, but there appear to be none. “They’re famously very hard to book,” Bailey says, with the air of a father eager not to assuage a child’s disappointment. There is profound, visceral truth in Lycett’s comment that the stark, brutal Sun Voyager sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason, overlooking the glittering sea, looks like one of the Loose Women.
This is all fine – and may improve further with different guests bringing different energies to proceedings. Lycett is a sufficiently flexible and generous performer to embrace them. But if you were an Ayoade fan, you will miss his quirks, eccentricity and scalpel-sharp wit. The new version does not have the snap and crackle of the original. The change occasioned in me the kind of mild sorrow that discovering your favourite cafe has been take over by Starbucks might. We will all survive, obviously. Life will go on. But just a bit – a very little bit – flatter than before.

The 3 Best Resorts in Iceland in 2022
Each of the winning hotels in this new list of the best resorts in Iceland, according to Travel + Leisure readers, offers a unique way to experience the country's natural wonders.
Note: If you’re looking for our most recent recommendations, check out the 2023 list of our favorite resorts in Iceland.
Iceland's striking natural landscapes have earned it the moniker the "land of fire and ice." This small island-nation in the northern Atlantic Ocean is home to ancient glaciers, volcanoes — the constant activity has made the country a geothermal hot spot — thousands of waterfalls, and dramatic, black-sand beaches. The spectacular northern lights that often illuminate its skies in fall and winter attract aurora borealis chasers from around the globe.
Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels (including safari lodges) were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as city hotel, resort, or safari lodge based on their locations and amenities.
It's not surprising that each of the winning hotels in our new category offer a unique way to experience Iceland's natural wonders. The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland (No. 2) treats its guests to spectacular views of the striking, milky-blue waters of the Blue Lagoon from luxury Scandi-chic suites. As one T+L reader described it, "It's like you are on another planet because of the volcanic rocks and the blue water."
And if location is everything in real estate, then Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon (No. 3) hit the jackpot. The 125-room minimalist property is nestled between two of Iceland's must-visit natural landmarks: Vatnajökull National Park and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. One respondent said that the location and the hotel's restaurant — which takes guests on a culinary journey inspired by traditional Icelandic flavors — make the trip to Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon more than worthwhile.
Read on to see which hotel took the top spot in our inaugural edition of the best resort hotels in Iceland.
1. Hotel Rangá, Hella
From its geothermal hot tubs that overlook a volcano to the suite décor inspired by the world's continents, Hotel Rangá delivers a memorable guest experience near Iceland's scenic southern coast. Travelers love its proximity to impressive waterfalls (including favorites Skógafoss and Árbæjarfoss) and its dark skies, which offer exceptional stargazing. "This hotel is well located in a beautiful area for sightseeing," said one T+L reader. With an on-site observatory and resident astronomer, the resort caters to those keen on seeing the elusive northern lights. The property is at the forefront of sustainability as it operates exclusively on clean energy.
Score: 92.47

2. The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland, Grindavík

The Best Time to Visit Iceland
The best time to explore Iceland depends on your personal preference. Every season has its own benefits, so it’s up to you to decide the right time to visit according to what you want to see and do.
Are you looking to enjoy a road trip, taking in the lush greenery of Iceland, or do you want to see what it’s like after being transformed by the snow?
The best weather in Iceland is during summer, particularly July and August. June sees 24 hours of daylight (you can see the midnight sun), and while sunshine at midnight is definitely a unique experience, it may not help with the jetlag!
Summer is the most expensive time to be in Iceland because there are more tourists, so keep in mind you’ll have to pay a little extra during this period. Don’t go expecting warm weather, however.
The average temperature is only around nine to 14 degrees Celsius, but it’s slightly better than the winter alternative of two degrees. That being said, if you absolutely love the snow, maybe the wintertime is for you.
When you visit Reykjavik you have to see the stunning aurora borealis (aka the northern lights ), they’re visible anytime in between September and mid-April. The darkest months are November to February, meaning you’ll have more hours to see them.
There is often heavy rain or snow during this period so the bad weather may get in the way of your plans. If you want to meet the cute puffins, know that they begin to emerge in April and May. Any time you have a layover in Iceland, even in the off-season of spring and autumn, you’ll have a wide range of things to do.

Things to do in Iceland
Still wondering how to spend 48 hours in Iceland? It can be hard to know where to even begin, so let’s start with a little Reykjavik travel guide.
Did you know that Iceland has a street art scene? Most of downtown Reykjavik’s street artists are women, and there’s a lot of vibrant pieces to check out. It’s not unusual here to see entire houses and buildings painted in bright colours and bold, detailed murals.
While a project named Wall Poetry is responsible for a bulk of the art, artists like Sara Riel contacted private real estate owners to seek permission for permanent murals on their walls. Many other business and homeowners commission artworks to brighten up their neighbourhoods.
Most of these street art pieces can be found in the north of Reykjavik, around Nýlendugata, Hverfisgata and Laugavegur.
There are still a lot of things to do in Reykjavik in winter too. When you want to escape the cold, there’s also an impressive range of art galleries and museums to go and look at.
It’s no exaggeration when I say there’s honestly something for everyone here. There’s the Settlement Exhibition , where you can learn about how the 10th-century Vikings lived, or the Volcano House, which can teach you all about Iceland’s geology, including its 130 volcanic mountains.
There’s also the Living Art Museum, a non-profit that showcases experimental and innovative artworks, and the tiny Icelandic Punk Museum . For those into more traditional art, you can’t go wrong with visits to the Reykjavík Art Museum and the National Gallery of Iceland.
Among the other Reykjavik, tourist attractions are the Sun Voyager sculpture, the modern Hallgrímskirkja church , and the small lake of Tjörnin in the middle of the city.
Foodwise, there are tons of local dishes to try. Icelandic Street Food is one of the top places to go for families and groups of friends, and it’s very affordable by Reykjavik standards.
There’s traditional local recipes , fantastic service, and free refills of lamb and shellfish soups. For something more extravagant, go all out at Ostabúðin.
Places to visit in Iceland
The first place you’ll want to visit is, of course, Blue Lagoon Iceland . It’s only 15 minutes from Keflavík International Airport, so it’s worth popping in for a visit before you make your way to Reykjavik, the Blue Lagoon Iceland is also a great idea for Iceland stopovers.
If you flew in from anywhere other than Western Europe, it’s the perfect way to relax and unwind from your long flight. The geothermal spa is located inside a lava field and is one of 25 wonders of the world. You really don’t want to be miss it while in Iceland, especially if you’re ding a long trip!
In addition to the lagoon, there’s also a sauna, a steam room, and a mask bar. You can enjoy cocktails at a swim-up bar, or even receive an in-water massage.
The Blue Lagoon is known for destroying the look and feel of your hair, so if you have long hair, try to keep it out of the water and use a lot of the leave-in conditioner provided or bring a high quality hair treatment!

Iceland is home to some incredible national parks. With only 48 hours in Iceland, Thingvellir National Park is the one to visit as it is only a 45-minute drive from Reykjavik. This unique location shows the meeting of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates (you can also dive between them if you’re brave enough!).
From the visitor centre, you can take in the beautiful view of the park. It’s a must for anyone interested in geography. Be sure to see the small yet beautiful Öxarárfoss waterfall while you’re nearby.
You may also be interested in finding the site of the famous Sólheimasandur plane crash . It’s located at the black beach, in between the Skógafoss waterfall and the town of Vik.
Here you’ll be able to take some stunning photos. It’s even more breathtaking at night during the northern lights.
Where to stay in Iceland
With only 2 nights in Iceland, you’ll likely be staying the 2 nights in Reykjavik or somewhere close by in the southern end of Iceland. Options for accommodation outside Reykjavik are limited regardless, particularly during winter.
Here are some excellent options to consider when you’re deciding where to stay. We have also written an extensive guide on Where to stay in Iceland.
Skólavörðustígur Apartments : Booking an apartment in Reykjavik is ideal if you’re travelling in a group or with family. There’s also the added benefit of having a kitchen so you can save a bit of money by preparing your own meals if you’d like.
Apartments at Skólavörðustígur offer one double bed and two singles. The rooms are beautifully decorated with a homey feel that’ll put even the most homesick of people at ease.
Ion Adventure Hotel : If you’ve got the extra money to spare, staying at this incredible hotel will be an unforgettable experience. It’s luxurious, eco-conscious, and a prime location for beginning your Golden Circle journey.
Soak in the pool under the northern lights, and enjoy a farm-fresh meal while looking out at the lava fields. You’ll find it in Nesjavallavirkjun, 45 minutes from Reykjavik or just over an hour from the airport.
How to get around Iceland
The most popular and easiest way to get around Iceland by yourself is by car. There are a heap of many places to rent one once you land, and most rental companies can be found at the airport for your convenience.
However, if you’re not an experienced driver and aren’t used to icy conditions and rapid weather changes, you may want to reconsider driving – actually we would highly recommend you don’t drive, as you are likely to get into an accident – there are plenty especially in winter as people are not used to the ever-changing weather changes that can come in rapidly!
Renting a car in Iceland can be fairly expensive, along with the silly amount of “extra insurance options” such as volcanic ash and sand insurance, windshield insurance, and gravel road insurance.
The insurances themselves are decently prices but adding that to the car pricing, it can be quite expensive. You could probably get away with not paying for is theft insurance as crime in Iceland is pretty low, however, this is a risk you have to work out for yourselves – I take no responsibility for a stolen car.
Luckily, there are other ways to explore Iceland without missing out on anything. If you don’t want to rent a car or book a tour, there are regular bus services around Reykjavik and throughout the entire country. If you’re going out for a drink at night, your safest bet is to call a cab to come and get you.
Don’t bother pulling up the Uber app, as it’s not available in Iceland. Keep in mind that taxis are fairly expensive so try to have a few drinks new your hotel and consider a tour as it is likely going to be a lot cheaper to take a day trip around Iceland, than it would be hiring a taxi for the day.
Tours to do in Iceland
One of the best day trips from Reykjavik has to be the Golden Circle Iceland . It’s the most popular trip to take in Iceland, as it allows you to see so many gorgeous places in a small amount of time.
The Golden Circle Iceland self-drive is a popular trip, as you can stop to take photos and get a closer look whenever you like.
However, if you’re visiting in winter or any time there’s snow, you’ll want to book a guided tour so someone can drive you, as the roads can get quite dangerous with the weather changing pretty quickly.
When going through a tour provider, the Golden Circle typically takes 8 to 10 hours. You can take group tours by large and small buses, or book your own private tour if you prefer.
Most take you to visit all the same major attractions, with some slight variations. You’ll usually begin with Thingvellir , which you already learned about earlier.
Next up is Gullfoss, the most prestigious waterfall in Iceland. It’s a spectacular view, and you might even spot a rainbow while you’re there.
Another stop is Geysir, a geothermal field, which is a hot spring that often shoots water up to 70 metres in the air.
Although eruptions are becoming rarer, it’s a beautiful place to see nonetheless. Fortunately, the more reliable Strokkur is very close by and erupts almost every 10 minutes.
Some tour providers, such as Gateway to Iceland, will also take you to the Secret Lagoon . It’s a smaller and more low-key hot spring, where temperatures of the water are 38 to 40 degrees Celsius year round.
Be aware that a lot of tours to see the northern lights Iceland are assessed on a day to day basis based on weather reports and solar activity data.
The Northern lights in Iceland (and a lot of places around the world) are natrually occurring and can NEVER ever be guaranteed. Almost half of tours are cancelled due to the conditions not being favorable.
While that may seem frustrating, you’ll avoid having your time and money wasted this way. If you sign up for one of these trips, be prepared to have a backup plan to avoid being stuck and disappointed.
90% of the time, the tour operators will offer a ticket to come back another time so I would recommend booking in to see the Icelandic Northern Lights on your first night in case you miss them the first night.

Tips to travel Iceland on a budget, plus travel expert-approved gear
Need some summer vacation ideas that won't break the bank? "Good Morning America" is off to Iceland and packing expert tips to help create the perfect travel bucket list on a budget.
From free dips in hot springs to the stunning Seljalandsfoss waterfall, ABC News' Ashan Singh explored the Nordic island nation and shared the top ways to enjoy every stop of the trip without overspending.
"Iceland is a tremendous deal from the Boston area in particular -- flights are only about five hours in each direction -- you could take just a long weekend there and still get an action-packed trip," Eric Rosen director of travel content for The Points Guy, told "GMA."
TPG has seen deals for as low as $400 and for travelers who don't care where they're seated on the plane, some fares drop as low as $230.
When it comes to hotels, Rosen offered another simple tip, spend now on credit cards from brands like Hilton or Marriott that, once the spending threshold is reached, offer large bonus points.
"Hilton cards for instance, offer anywhere from 130 to 180,000 points typically as part of their bonus," he said. "And that's going to be good enough for two maybe even three nights at some of these hotels in Reykjavik. And that could be your whole trip right there."
Iceland activities on a budget
Get a taste of the city's culture with the Reykjavík City Card, which gives visitors access to multiple museums, art galleries, pools and even bus transportation for free.
Enjoy going home with a fashionable souvenir? Local knits are quintessentially Iceland, but with handmade sweaters priced up to $500, Singh sought out second hand store, Extraloppan to score a sweater as low as $50.
Rent a car. Singh found deals for as low as $86 a day.
Save on a more extravagant meal by finding a deal through the Dineout Iceland app, which for a small fee offers discounts all over the land of fire and ice.
Looking for a cheap and quick local bite? Try a roadside hot dog for just $4.
Visit the free National Parks and take in sights like waterfalls and geysers, but Singh suggests skipping the Blue Lagoon, which can cost $350 for a family of four, instead opt for taking a dip in a local, free hot spring.
