When Iceland is mentioned, nine out of ten Hong Kong people will react with, "Wow! It's on my bucket list!" But usually after saying that, the next sentence will be, "However... I've heard it's very difficult to go. Driving yourself is dangerous, and I'm afraid it will be boring with a tour group."

Honestly, the amount of research required for a self-guided trip to Iceland is absolutely "professional." Going in winter? Beware of the legendary black ice and gale-force winds; driving could be a death sentence. Going in summer? Then there's the hassle of scrambling for hotels and rental cars. The worst part is that a daily island tour involves packing and moving hotels, turning your trip into a physical workout.
