I went in September last year! Definitely a great trip and one of the more memorable ones.

Others have commented on the cuisine - I def agree, but two things I really enjoyed that you should look out for are the icelandic hot dogs, and rye bread ice cream. Both can be found in Reykjavik, though I also had a hot dog in Selfoss.

My favorite waterfalls were Seljalandsfoss and I'm blanking on the other one. Another user mentioned them - the one that you can walk behind (Seljalandsfoss) and the one within a cave. They are walkable to each other.

Glacier lagoon and diamond beach are also really cool and if you are near those areas, I'd def recommend.

Try to look into conditions for the northern lights - there are sites and app that show what the conditions will be the nights you are there. It was really cool to see this in person and I got some really awesome time lapse footage on my GoPro.

There were other things we couldn't do due to the season we went and/or couldn't fit it in. Didn't see any volcanos (the eruptions took place after our trip), and didn't get to go into a glacier cave (they weren't open for another month).

I also went to Blue Lagoon + Sky Lagoon and can confirm Sky Lagoon will fulfill your need. Do the cold plunge! We also wanted to check out a less commercial, more rustic spring, but couldn't fit it in.

Have fun! Hope you're excited. Bring warm clothes- I'm sure it's super cold now.

Edit: Also look into when you're going next month and whether it aligns with the equinox. That's why we chose September - supposedly you had a great chance of seeing the northern lights around the equinoxes. That, combined with I think next year being the peak for Northern Lights, may mean you have a pretty good chance of seeing them.
