I will be staying at Reykjavik but I am hoping to visit this area (Akureyki) too. Should I do a day trip? Is this a nice place to visit? Is this place included in the golden circle bus trip?

With good weather it’s about 30-45 min one way. honistly you may want to stop a few times as there are some views you may want to take in. In colder months the road over the mountain can be closed or restricted. Always be mindful of the weather in Iceland.
