Day 1 · Settle in

Arrive and transfer to Reykjavík with a light first-day plan. Walk the waterfront, enjoy an early meal, and save the bigger discoveries for after a good night’s rest.

Day 2 · Beyond the city

Take a guided Golden Circle outing, choosing the stops and timing around your interests. Return to the same hotel for an easy evening.

Days 3–4 · Warm water and farewell

Explore more of Reykjavík and consider a booked geothermal experience. Reykjanes visits depend on current access and volcanic conditions; retain an alternative and a generous airport buffer.
