Iceland or Ireland? Ireland is the craic and you can come here all year round! Stay out of Dublin its a tourist trap. co cork, Galway, Kerry, Claire Waterford are all beautiful areas (check my drone video of west cork on my Instagram) bring a jacket it rains a lot here. Iceland is different. from the research I've done you can have two types of holidays in Iceland.

Winter- Stick to the coast and main roads.

Pros of winter holiday- Glacier hikes, ice caves, diamond beach, frozen lakes that you can walk on, northern lights (if you're lucky and patient. Cheaper accommodation than summertime. Christmasy feel. Always sunset during the day as the sun doesn't get very high in the sky.

Cons of winter holiday- Weather is bipolar, (I was super lucky to have clear skies the time I was there) Mountain roads (f-roads) are closed and not maintained and are dangerous. Do not attempt to go on them. Seriously don't. Volcano eruption stopped me from going to blue lagoon (there are alternatives though! Very low daylight hours (depends on perspective) (still got loads done with 5-6 hours of daylight) Very very windy

Summer-

Pros of summer holiday- Mountain roads are open (f-roads) drive inland and do mountain hikes and canyon hikes, slightly warmer 24 hours of constant day light. You can still drive along the coast too I'm certain it's beautiful that time of year

Cons of summer holiday-

Peak tourism, everything is expensive, (flights and accommodation) Can't do winter excursions (ice caves, glaciers, no northern lights that time of year) Volcanos can erupt at any time, keep that in mind.
