It was absolutely gorgeous and unique place. People was so friendly, kind, respectful and beautiful. Little costly, but you can enjoy at any way you want. I would love to go back during summer. Blue lagoon was breath taking. Food was so so good , and amazing service

I went at the end of October last year and had 3 full days there. On Day 1 I booked a tour around the golden circle, then when I got back from that I had time to walk around the center of Reykjavik and grab food before doing another tour in the evening for northern lights. On day 2 I went to the blue lagoon and then in the evening did the northern lights boat tour. On Day 3 I did the tour for the south coast of Iceland.
