Two Polish tourists completed an 11-day trip to Iceland for a total cost of approximately 320,000 ISK, averaging about 160,000 ISK per person. The travelers, who visited from September 5 to September 15, managed to keep expenses low by bringing significant amounts of food from Poland and utilizing camping sites with their own tent.

Their breakdown of expenses included 64,000 ISK for flights from Poland, 88,000 ISK for a small car rental, 48,000 ISK for inexpensive meals like pizza and burgers, 37,000 ISK for camping, 28,000 ISK for fuel covering 2,400 kilometers, and 22,000 ISK for whale watching. Other costs included 16,000 ISK for parking and entrance fees, 13,000 ISK for food purchased locally, and 4,000 ISK for souvenirs.

The travelers reported a positive experience, noting that while there were people at major tourist sites, there were no significant crowds or long queues. They also successfully observed the Northern Lights on two occasions.
