• Add a coffee/breakfast stop before 10:00a walk so the day doesn't feel like waiting for check-in.

• Hygge bakery on Bargutun is supposed to be good (cinnamon rolls, pistachio croissants).

• Jet-lag route: Hallgrímskirkja → Rainbow Street → Harpa → hot dogs → hotel.

• Bad-weather route: Hallgrímskirkja → Harpa → cafe/lunch → hotel.

💡 Suggestions & reminders

• Because this is tendered, build a soft pickup window: 8:30-9:00 depending on tender timing.

💡 Suggestions & reminders

• Dynjandi is misty and rocky — grippy shoes and keep camera/phone protected.

• Ask Vito for a realistic lunch plan or packed-lunch recommendation.

💡 Suggestions & reminders

• Ask driver for a scenic, efficient lunch stop and whether reservations are needed.

• Keep swimsuit/dry clothes accessible instead of buried in the main day bag.

• Ship is overnight in port — great day for a relaxed evening back onboard.

• There's a man-made ice cave in Perlan you can walk through — get the ticket that includes observation deck and cave if interested.

• Set out clothes and day-bag items Friday night — this is an early start.

• Keep any liquid souvenirs packed correctly before leaving the ship.

• KEF advice: check in and leave bags → security → skip food court, walk straight to passport control before the crowd → same food court is on the other side near your gate.
