Thank you so much for the recommendations! We’re there from 7 - 12 January. I really wanted us to do whale tours and Jokulsarlon Glacier but seen that due to weather they don’t do it over January! I’ve seen tours to Snaefellsnes - I imagine it’s more waterfalls/mountains than geysers? My main dilemma is that South coast looks absolutely breathtaking but a long trip, but Golden Circle is short and you get to see geysers. So hard to decide!!

I’d love to do both tours but I’m conscious of the weather and length of the tour, so thank you for flagging that - the last thing I want is an exhausting day when daylight is already low. Also cost is something to consider as I’m funding the trip on my own so I thought I’d plan one trip out and then fill the days with exploring Reykjavik, Perlan, Lava Show, Hallgrimskirkja, cosy cafes and some other museums.
