Excursions
You will be arriving first thing in the morning so you have a full day of adventure. What I suggest is that you have a day of just exploring Reykjavk.
For dinner may I suggest Conde Nast top rated restaurant, Humarhusid otherwise known as The Lobster House. It is located within walking distance from all 3 hotels I suggested - only 1 minute from Center Hotel Thingholt. The restaurant is very popular so reservations are required for this Icelandic Restaurant.

The next day, this what I think would be great tour options.....
Exciting Super Jeep Tour
This exciting yet comfortable super jeep tour in Iceland takes you to Mýrdalsjökull glacier and the beautiful black sandy coastline.
Along the way, you will stop at scenic points to allow you to look around and take pictures. The top of the glacier rises 1500 meters and provides breathtaking views over South Iceland, one of the country’s most stunning regions.
En route we stop at the gorgeous Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which is unique as you can walk behind it and through the other side. We also stop at the majestic and much-photographed Skógafoss waterfall and visit the Skógar Folk Museum to get a taste of how Icelanders lived in past centuries.
The perfect tour for families and photographers who wish to experience a once-in-a-lifetime glacier adventure.
Come along on the excursion of a lifetime!

The Wonders of Reykjanes & Blue Lagoon
Get a little bit of everything Icelandic on this varied tour which includes two geothermal sites, dramatic coastlines and quaint, historic towns. Between the lava fields and geothermal hot spots, you will really get a feeling of the life and power of this young land.
It’s hard to explain the charm of this cozy, family-friendly tour because half of the attraction is the beautiful scenery you pass, starting with the endless lava fields and the quaint and historic small town Eyrarbakki, which you pass through en route to the legendary Strandakirkja church. You can see the ground cooking at two different geothermal areas: Krýsuvík and Gunnuhver, and enjoy delicious lobster soup in Grindavík. Take in the magnificent coastline and dramatic breaking waves by the Reykjanesviti lighthouse, and finally step out on the “Bridge Between the Continents” which connects the American and Eurasian tectonic plates - all while surrounded with the breathtaking scenery of the Reykjanes peninsula. If you want, the tour can drop you off at the Blue Lagoon to relax after the day’s adventures (admission to the Blue Lagoon is not included in the price).
Tour duration: 09:00 - 17:00
