Our trip is for six days. I thought it was more. Really want to drive around the country but have not made any plans yet.
I'm thinking that it is not feasible to drive round the whole country in 6 days. Kind of a bummer but I'm sure we will have an awesome time. With a first/last night in Rekyavik, how far out can we expect to go in only four nights?

The coffiebarn (forgot the actual name) was pretty hip in Reykjavik. Good luck with the midnight sun. Golden circle was meh.

Hello - so starting to get our trip planned, we leave on August 18th.
We will be there for 6 days, less than I'd thought but I'm not complaining. I'd hoped that we would rent a car and drive around the island, but now I'm leaning towards staying in Reykjavik and doing tours to places we want to go. Has anyone else done this?
Part of that seems worthwhile, no driving, etc. but on the other hand I guess I was really looking for something more adventurous - staying at farms or bed and breakfasts around the country.Any thoughts between the two?
For example, this site, which someone suggested here, offers plenty of good day trips - http://www.greyline.is/Tours/All…

FYI - I had miscounted the number of days we'd be there. Turns out, we'll be there for 7 days, and www.tours.is has a 7 day self drive trip around the country that we can do.
http://www.tour.is/tours/self_dr… - We're going to do the BP06 - The Full Circle Express - 7 days trip that's listed at the top.

We head home tomorrow. This trip has been breathtaking... Photography heaven everywhere we went.
Feels really rewarding and exciting that we drove nearly 1,000 miles around this country in the last five days. I am going to miss it and have been daydreaming constantly about how I can come back one day and hike/camp for a month or something.
