Housing in and around Iceland can be had for like $150 a night on airbnb. I actually would suggest NOT staying in Reykjavik and instead going south towards the black sand beaches and posting up camp there. As for activities, all of the above are free or almost free if you just rent a car and drive yourself. I suggest the following for a short trip:
- Secret Lagoon. Dont bother with the Blue Lagoon.
- Golden Circle
- Reykjadalur Valley Hike to natural hotsprings
- Black Sand Beaches near Vik
Personally, I would not purchase this option, especially if traveling with a partner. The roads in Iceland are fantastic, especially to the main sights and car rentals in off season are affordable. You do not need a 4x4 in winter if driving to the main locations (golden circle, ring road). Happy to answer any questions.
I would say 3 days is kinda short for Iceland, there are so many awesome sights to see, if you are making the trip already I'd want to stay at least 5-7 days.

We took a lot of trips and never needed a 4x4 when the roads had been plowed. We needed chains a few times, but w/the amount of snow and wind they get, even 4x4s couldn't pass some of the roads.
It is a stunningly beautiful place, but aside from the possibility of seeing the northern lights, winter isn't the ideal time to visit. I guess that is why the deal is considered off-season.
The waterfalls will be beautiful, but they are so much more spectacular in the summer when the sun is out.
No guarantee that the sun will be out in the summer as their weather is often "WET", but it is absolutely breathtaking if you are there at Gullfos (probably spelled wrong) on a sunny day with the mist making rainbows.
this deal doesn't let me book with kids. If i go on my own and try to visit all these touristic points, what would you recommend.

Going out on your own can be very tricky as well. I've gone from blue skies, mid-30's outside, and no precipitation in the forecast to white-out conditions leaving my group crawling at 10-20 MPH and happy to see the yellow spikes showing the edges of the road. It could be completely clear, too. That's the thing - you never know. AWD/4WD will not help you stop if the roads get slick or if you can't see more than a few feet in front of you. Use road.is and en.vedur.is if you do go out on your own and know the road conditions and near-term weather. The Golden Circle is much more realistic to do on your own versus going out to see the Northern Lights in the middle of nowhere with no cell service or other humans around if you have any issues.
I completely suggest using the TripAdvisor forums, especially for Iceland, if you have questions. They have a lot of people who genuinely help others and give valid advice and experience.

In mid-March, we had about the same amount of daylight as darkness. That gave us opportunities to have longer days to see and do things. Then, too, we saw the lights on an organized South Iceland tour. We did not see the lights until around 10 PM at Seljalandsfoss. The tour bus also stopped at a pasture on the way back to Reykjavík when it was obviously doing a wonderful display and we all agreed to stop. We had worse weather in March vs December, so you really never can predict that. The tour was supposed to be the second night there but was cancelled twice before we had that one very good day to see things at the end. Had it been cancelled again, we would have received a refund. That's something this Icelandair deal doesn't seem to offer.
If I had to choose, I would do March over December - as well as over Jan and Feb. I've also been in early-September, but it doesn't get dark soon enough to really see the lights unless you're very lucky and well outside of Reykjavík's lights. Again, the weather in Iceland is unpredictable and could be uncooperative any time of year.
