Watch Advisories
Check road.is and local alerts early; let driver-guides decide on reroutes.
Reroute Ideas
- Focus on Þingvellir in wind + rain.
- Nesjavellir detour in safer conditions for geothermal views.
Transfers
Coach/minibus/private — confirm winter tires and flexible policies.
Bottom Line
Contingencies are normal; flexibility keeps the day worthwhile.
