Hello, We will be spending 8 days in iceland. Our itinerary, in order, includes Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik, South coast, glacier hike and lagoon boat tour, Golden Circle and Snaefellsnes Penisula. On our last night, we are staying in Borgarnes so it will only be a 1 hour 40 minute drive (allowing 2hrs) to airport. If I allow 3 hrs to be at airport before our 4:30pm flight, I calculate that we have 2.5hrs of empty time. Any suggestions on what to do?

Go to Hvammavik hot springs which is about 45 minutes north of Reykjavik. It’s our favorite commercial lagoon in all of our trips FWIW.

Sorry, we are traveling the end of September.
Hvammick Hot springs doesn't open until 10:30 so that is out. But Borgarnes pool opens at 6:30am and we could stop at Sky Lagoon.
I also thought about doing a hike in the Reykjanes pennisula. I see several easy, short hikes Grafarholt, Asfjall Hafnarfjordur, Seltun Geothermal area or bridge between continents.
Thank you for the suggestions
