I am planning my second trip to Iceland (I fell in love with the country and plan to go back in a few months since I have a lot of time off this year that I need to "use or lose"). My plane lands at 6:30 am and I can't check in to my hotel in Reykjavik until 14:00. I think I just want to go to and hang out at Blue Lagoon for a few hours and soak.
I can't figure out by looking at the bus schedules and information from reviews for Sly Blue and Destination Blue Lagoon if I can pretty much spend as much time as I want there. When I look at the Blue Lagoon packages it tells me things like "Duration: 4 hours." I am not sure if that's a suggestion or if I need to catch a bus at a certain time. If anyone here has used either of these busses can you let me know if you have all the time you need or if booking these imposes a strict schedule.
I do plan to rent a car in Iceland, but not until my 3rd or 4th day there (I have plans to book tours such as a glacier hike and either Scuba diving or snorkeling Silfa Fissure and since they drive you and it's nearly all day, I figure a car is just a waste or money). But if I can't have my own Blue Lagoon schedules, I might just rent a car that first day too (or even take a cab because it looks to be about the same price). Thanks!
