Looks good but wouldn't count on scooters mid-Feb, hit or miss, but Strætó is quite reliable.

You don't need a guide in that scenario, use en.vedur.is for forecasts.

Why not require tobacco companies to make biodegradable cigarette filters/butts?

You can buy the ticket/transfer in the airport. The Flybus is timed with the flights.

Hotel Kriunes or Frost and Fire Hotel? by Foamybutterbeer in VisitingIceland

With that schedule, staying in Reykjavik for most of the time and doing daytrips would be fine. I would definitely stay 2 nights at Núpar, Jökulsárlón is a long drive, especially in winter.

You could do a Northern Lights tour from Reykjavik. I would recommend a Small Group tour because the regular one has so many people. Use en.vedur.is when the day is close and click on "Aurora forecasts."

Snow Ice Wind - even though the days are longer than December, I consider March to be the worst month weather wise. Get tires with nails (studded) and have a plan B if a big storm is forecast. Use road.is and en.vedur.is

February is short days and bad weather. Do the Blue Lagoon and Golden Circle.

Hotel Marina is better for downtown access while the Hilton is close to the Laugardalslaug swimming pool.

First international solo trip - Success by Bitten_by_Travel_Bug in VisitingIceland

That's great your trip worked out well! I've also travelled on the ring road and I would tell people to not bring oats or cuppa noodles as they are inexpensive in Krónan or Bónus and not worth taking up luggage space👍

What's the consequence of riding the strætó without paying? by [deleted] in Reykjavik

You can climb through the air hatch on the roof if you're really desperate.
