• About Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland. The blue mineral-rich water leaves your skin soft and smooth after a relaxing visit.

Shortly after its formation, people began to bathe in the lagoon which proved to have a positive effect on psoriasis and other skin diseases. The Blue Lagoon has located only 20km from Keflavik International Airport, making it very convenient to visit on your way to or from the airport. Check out our Blue Lagoon Tours.

General information about the wonderful blue lagoon, what is the blue lagoon.

The Blue Lagoon (or Bláa Lónið in Icelandic) is a spa formed in 1976 in the middle of a lava field. This spa is special thanks to its large lake filled with 39°C/102°F milky-blue opaque water. The Blue Lagoon is one of the most popular attractions in the country as about 700,000 people are visiting the spa each year. It is located in the Reykjanes Peninsula, in the Southwest of Iceland.

The seawater of the Blue Lagoon is said to be good for people who suffer from Psoriasis and other skin inflammations. The water of the huge lake renews itself completely every 48 hours.

Imagine relaxing in a blend of sea-water and geothermally heated water which is rich with silica, minerals, and algae, surrounded by a lunar lava landscape. This is really good for your skin and a real treat for the mind, body, and soul. The iconic   white silica mud face mask is free to all lagoon guests. The man-made waterfall is exhilarating and a fabulous way to ease sore muscles. There are comfort, premium and luxury packages available or extra items may be added to the comfort or standard packages. Exclusive Blue Lagoon products are available at the Skin Care Shop. The café and Lava Restaurant are popular.

For those who are short of time we recommend booking a combination tour which includes the Blue Lagoon, you choose whether you want a day tour or something longer, we organize everything – what could be easier or more relaxing?

A Brief History of the Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon Resort Iceland has the Svartsengi Geothermal Power Plant to thank for its development! In 1976 one of their employees named Valur Margeirsson asked if he could swim into the pool created by Svartsengi´s operations. He suffered from psoriasis and did not want to swim in a public pool. Bathing in the soothing water healed his skin when other psoriasis sufferers tried it their psoriasis also improved greatly. The Blue Lagoon Clinic is now an   internationally recognized psoriasis treatment facility!

Where is the Blue Lagoon Iceland located?

The Blue Lagoon is set in the heart of a lava landscape at Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Approximately 49 kilometers away from the capital Reykjavík and 21 kilometers away from Keflavík International Airport, the Blue Lagoon is the perfect first stop when coming to Iceland, or last stop before taking the plane back home.

The lava scenery around the lagoon will make certain those new arrivals truly appreciate they have arrived in Iceland!

The exact address of the Blue Lagoon Iceland is  Nordurljosavegur 9, 240 Grindavík  (see map).

Longitude: W -22.453115 (-22°27’11.214″W)

What is the best way to get to the blue lagoon?

If you don’t have a rental car, the best way to go to the Blue Lagoon is by bus. Whether you are departing from Keflavík International Airport or from the Icelandic capital Reykjavík, we offer both transportation possibilities. Enjoy the trip from Reykjavík/Keflavik and vice versa in our new and comfortable buses with free Wi-Fi.

The transfer from Reykjavík   will take about 45-60 minutes.

The transfer from Keflavik  will only take 15-20 minutes.

The transfer does not include the entrance fee of the Blue Lagoon and it is highly recommended to book it in advance as it often sells out. The journey is free for children under 12 years old and people from 12 to 17 have a 50% discount, so don’t hesitate any more and let us drive you safely to this unforgettable experience. The transfer back from the Blue Lagoon to Reykjavík/Keflavík is also included in the ticket.

When is the best time to visit Iceland’s Blue Lagoon?

Any season really, the Blue Lagoon is always warm and welcoming. The only real difference apart from the weather can be the price as it’s depending on demand. The price is lower during the off-season, this means that   summertime is the priciest time to visit.

The best time during your stay would be when you are leaving for the airport or just arriving since Keflavík International Airport is located so close to the Blue Lagoon, it’s the perfect combo. Either you’ll feel completely relaxed on the plane and ready to go to sleep or you’ll shake that jet-lagged feeling right off and get your mind and body soaked into Icelandic waters before you ultimate Icelandic adventure!

The best moments to see the Blue Lagoon with fewer people are early in the morning and late in the evening. However, the lagoon implemented a limit of visitors so that the lake is not overcrowded. Most of the guests spend around 2-3 hours in the lagoon, so it is always better not to come one hour before the closure time to make the most out of it without stressing out about the time.

Visiting the Blue Lagoon at night   is a really good idea as there will be fewer people. From September to April, it is possible to see the magnificent Northern Lights with good luck and correct weather. The Blue lagoon is far away from the city lights of Reykjavík, and less light pollution means higher chances to see the   Northern lights. What a perfect scenery to observe those natural wonders! During the summertime, the lagoon stays open later during the day so that you can enjoy the midnight sun, which is not less beautiful. Seeing the sun at midnight is something unique one can experience only in a few places around the world.

Blue lagoon Opening Hours

Even if the Blue Lagoon is open when you planned to go, booking in advance   is a must and you should consider doing so some weeks or months in advance to be sure to be able to enter the wonderful lagoon. During the summertime, the lagoon is open later because there is constant daylight, while in winter, the days are shorter. The opening hours are different from a period to another and are divided into 5 time periods during the year.

• 1 Jan – 30 May      08:00 – 21:00
• 31 May – 27 Jun     07:00 – 23:00
• 28 Jun – 18 Aug     07:00 – 00:00
• 19 Aug – 31 Dec  08:00 – 21:00
• 24 Dec (Holiday)  08:00 – 15:00

Many people are planning to visit the Blue Lagoon for the Christmas period, which makes the perfect gift for the ones you love. The opening hours are not the same during those special days. On December 24, the lagoon will be open from   08:00 am – 15:00 pm .

Blue Lagoon Prices in 2019

The prices to enter the Blue Lagoon always vary depending on availability and if you are booking late or early. If you are booking last minute, the cost will be higher. Plus, there is always the risk that it will be full-booked. This system is the ideal solution to have fewer people in the lagoon at the same time. People are more eager to pay less to enjoy the spa at a different time when there are fewer people. Usually, the price is the lowest early or late in the day and during the off-season.

There are three different kinds of ticket options for the Blue Lagoon Iceland

The Comfort Ticket includes the entrance fee to the Blue Lagoon, a Silica mud mask at the mask bar, a towel and one free drink of your choice. This is the most booked ticket and it really needs former reservations. The Premium Ticket   adds to the comfort ticket services algae mask, slippers, a bathrobe and a table reservation at the Lava Restaurant with sparkling wine.

There is a special ticket for the Retreat Spa from 79 000 ISK for 4 hours into this wonderful VIP spa. It includes private changing rooms, access to the Blue Lagoon and skincare services such as The Blue Lagoon Ritual (a spacious sanctuary of three interconnected chambers where you can cover your body with the treasures of geothermal seawater). But the most amazing thing about this ticket is the Retreat Lagoon which is a private part of the lagoon.

What can you do at the Blue Lagoon?

The Blue Lagoon is not just a pool, the Blue Lagoon is more like a spa. You can get an upgrade from the standard ticket and get a robe and slippers. The famous silica mud mask will make your skin feel amazing. You can order a massage, in the water, so it feels like you are floating in thin air and there is both a sauna and a steam bath. The Blue Lagoon is a wondrous place with an excellent award-winning restaurant called Lava and a great caféteria for those looking to save a buck!

There is an inbuilt water bar in the water so you won’t even have to get out to get a drink and it’s all just charged to the bracelet that you get upon entrance that is actually also your locker key, so convenient!

There is a relaxing area   for those who look to catch a break from the warmth, quite popular for those looking to fix a hangover or are feeling jet-lagged. They have an amazing shop with souvenir and all the Blue lagoon products along with Icelandic design clothing and jewelry. Really, you can spend all day at the Blue lagoon and not a moment will feel wasted.

Blue Lagoon Iceland Hotels

The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa in Iceland has two hotels of its own: The Silica Hotel and the Retreat Hotel.

The Silica Hotel

Prices are from 70,400 ISK (565 USD) per night, is set in the heart of a lava field. In the middle of this volcanic landscape, the hotel is just ten-minute walk from the Blue Lagoon. In addition to being comfortable and relaxing, the Silica hotel offers its own private bathing lagoon, available for hotel guests every day from 09:00 – 22:00. The hotel won various design awards as it is in perfect harmony with its environment. Silica Hotel has 35 spacious rooms with private facilities and a veranda with a view on the surrounding lava field.

The Retreat Hotel

Prices are from 162,000 ISK (1,300 USD) per night, is a brand new hotel which opened in April 2018. This is the best of luxury hotels, with amazing amenities and services such as a subterranean spa, a geothermal lagoon around the hotel, a restaurant, and 62 suites. Each guest has an individual host who will serve as a guide and attendant. The host can book tours, manage itineraries or also inform about the arrival of the northern lights. The guests can enjoy unlimited access to all the services of the Blue Lagoon, morning yoga, guided hikes, and a golf course. The suites have a minimalist design, there are moss, lava, and lagoon suites. The latter offers direct access to the lagoon. The most amazing thing about this hotel is that everyone has access to the Retreat Spa with a lot of relaxing services.

There are also some cheaper hotels near the Blue Lagoon, for example in the closest city of Grindavik. There, you will find a lot of accommodation opportunities such as hotels, guesthouses, cabins, Airbnb or cottages. There are also convenient inns right by the airport.

Good to know before you go

• Unlike many people think, the Blue Lagoon is not inside Reykjavík but in the middle of an 800-year old lava field called  Illahraun  (“Evil Lava”)
• Showering naked is mandatory before entering the lagoon, for cleanliness reasons.
• It is better to  condition your hair  beforehand as the minerals in the water will make your hair a bit weird and dry.
• The entrance is free of charge for children between 2 and 13 years old.
• You won’t need your wallet inside the lagoon. Each visitor is given a wristband   for the lockers and also to be able to pay for everything. You will have to pay the total bill only when you leave.
• The Blue Lagoon is one of the 25 wonders of the world.
• The smell of the geothermal lagoon is special. Just like in other geothermal areas, the sulfur scent will certainly surprise most of the guests. The smell can remind you of rotten eggs, but you get used to it quickly.
• Some shampoo, body gel and conditioner are available in the showers.
• It is not allowed to eat a packed lunch inside the lagoon.
• You can store your luggage by the parking lot for 550 ISK (5 USD) per bag.
• If you wear contact lenses, take it off before entering the lagoon. If the silica goes into your eyes it will be really painful for those wearing contact lenses.
• Don’t wear any jewelry because the minerals in the water can damage it.

What to bring to the Blue Lagoon?

• A swimsuit (you can rent one but it saves money bringing your own)
• A towel if you want your own
• Money, cash or card
• Sunscreen, any sunlight reflects very much from the lagoon making this place the ultimate for sunburning. Be on the lookout!
• Hair tie/band if you have long hair, you’ll thank us later!

The Blue Lagoon  is one of the most sought-after destinations in the world.

It’s not just a natural geothermal spa ; it’s a unique experience like no other. It’s easy to see why visitors flock here to experience the mesmerizing natural beauty of the lagoon. The milky blue, mineral-rich waters of the lagoon are heated by the geothermal activity in the area, making it a one-of-a-kind ecosystem. The silica content of the waters is known to be therapeutic and beneficial for the skin, making it a popular spot for relaxation and rejuvenation. What makes the experience even more unique is the ever-changing climate of Iceland, where you can soak in hot water while overlooking snow-capped mountains in winter or bask in the midnight sun in summer.

To make the most of your visit, choose one of the available day tours and activities that include entrance to the Blue Lagoon as well as transportation to and from Reykjavík.

The Perfect Day Trip

The day starts with visit to the Thingvellir valley. A place of amazing natural beauty where the land has been torn apart by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to the largest fresh water lake in Iceland and is the beating heart of Icelandic pride, being the birthplace for the longest standing parliament on the world.

The journey then continues to the Geysir park which is filled with bubbling and steaming geothermal springs. The anticipation builds as you approach the viewing point for the Strokkur Geyser, where the ground trembles and almost without warning, the geyser erupts spectacularly to a heights of 35 meters.

Then you continue to the magnificent and majestic Golden Waterfall   or Gullfoss as the locals call it. As water melts from the second largest glacier in Iceland, Langjökull, it reaches Gullfoss where it falls 32 meters down into a canyon with a thunderous roar. An amazing site and favourite of visitors.

You then head back to the capital area to prepare for a visit at one the wonders of the world , the Blue Lagoon. The mineral rich waters offer a unique and first-hand experience of Iceland's plentiful geothermal springs. The warm waters offer a perfect way to relax and reflect upon the natural beauty of this island and is a must see when traveling to Iceland. Note that after returning to Reykjavik from the Golden Circle, there will be a 30 minute break before heading to the Blue Lagoon .

For an unforgettable experience, join our tour and step aboard one of our new buses, fully equipped with WiFi connected computer tablets for each guest. The tablets provide you with a continuous stream of relevant information along the journey with a GPS synced Audio Guide, available with a choice of 10 languages .

Reykjavik Terminal

Tours depart from the Reykjavik Terminal located at Skógarhlíð 10. Please be sure to arrive 15 minutes prior to departure along with a printed or digital copy of your ticket/voucher.

If you have booked a hotel pickup with SmartBus™, please be at your chosen pickup location 30 minutes before the departure of the tour. Look for the Green SmartBus™ which will be outside your accommodation within 30 minutes of pickup.

Þingvellir National Park

The first stop along the Golden Circle features stunning views over the rift valley. A UNESCO heritage site with beautiful geographical features and rich political history.

Located on the northern shores of Þingvallavatn (Iceland's largest lake), Þingvellir (anglicized as 'Thingvellir') is the national pride of Iceland and our first National Park. It is, for one, a key location in Icelandic history as the oldest existing parliament in the world was first assembled there in 930 AD. For this reason, Þingvellir has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is, therefore, a protected national park due to its unique geology and natural features. From the viewing area, the Almannagjá canyon between two tectonic plates can be seen, a visual representation of continental drift.

As the first stop along the tour, you will have an opportunity to walk through the park and use the restroom if needed.

Geysir Geothermal Springs

A favorite stop along the Golden Circle is the highly active Geysir Hot Spring Area with boiling mud pits and the lively Strokkur which spouts water 30 meters (100 ft) into the air every few minutes. The area became active more than 1000 years ago and comprises more than a dozen hot spring holes. Although one can only see steam emerging from the surface of Geysir these days, its name was adopted to represent spouting hot springs all over the world.

Along the tour, the newly opened Geysir Center offers guests and travelers a chance to use the restroom and to catch some refreshments as well as lunch.

Gullfoss Waterfall

A powerful and inspiring place. There the glacier water thunders down 32 meters in three steps and into a narrow canyon with a breathtaking roar and grandeur.

As one of the most popular attractions in all of Iceland, Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river in the southwest of the country. The beautiful Hvítá river rushes southward in three steps into a narrow canyon with a breathtaking roar and grandeur. Furthermore, on clear days the magnificent Langjökull glacier, Iceland's second largest glacier, can be seen in the distance.

Guests and travelers may use the restroom and purchase food and refreshments at this location as well.

The Blue Lagoon

After a day of touring around Iceland's iconic sites, the warm soothing waters of the Blue Lagoon will be awaiting your arrival. When you arrive in Reykjavík from the Golden Circle there is approx. a 30-minute break at our terminal before heading to the Blue Lagoon.

One of 25 wonders of the world, and a place where the powers of geothermal seawater create transformational spa journeys. You will have the chance to relax in the magical blue lagoon. The water stays at a warm 38-40 Celsius (100-104 Fahrenheit) and is sure not to disappoint, regardless of the weather conditions. This is the perfect way to reflect on Iceland's beauty as you relax in the warm mineral-rich and healing waters of the Blue Lagoon. You will have about 3 hours to enjoy this unique location.

Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, a spa with turquoise waters in the middle of lava fields, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland.

Moreover, it has become one of the essential things to do near Reykjavik , due to its location, which isn’t far from the capital of Iceland.

We have only visited the Blue Lagoon once, despite traveling to the island every year to run our Iceland photo tour . However, there are plenty of hot springs in Iceland in addition to the Blue Lagoon, so we try to visit a new one every year so as not to repeat experiences.

Guide to Iceland’s Blue Lagoon

Although we will talk about whether the Blue Lagoon is worth it or not later, I can tell you that it’s a unique place that has been featured in many international travel magazines and it’s very popular on social media. It is no wonder that it has become one of the most popular things to do in Iceland .

If you are going to travel to the island, book half a day to go to the Blue Lagoon and relax in its hot springs. So you know exactly what to expect, in this guide I will explain everything you need to know about Iceland’s Blue Lagoon : how much entrance to the Blue Lagoon costs, hotels nearby, how to get to the Blue Lagoon from Reykjavik, and much more.

Specifically, in this guide to the Blue Lagoon of Iceland , you will find:

What is the Blue Lagoon in Iceland?

• Tickets for the Blue Lagoon Spa and prices
• Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa opening hours

Best time to visit Blue Lagoon Iceland

• How to get the to the Blue Lagoon hot spring in Iceland

Blue Lagoon Tours from Reykjavik

Iceland blue lagoon hotel and other places to stay nearby.

The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa located about 40-45 minutes from Reykjavik and about 20 minutes from the airport. Its waters are known for their medicinal properties, thanks to their high content of minerals such as silica and sulfur, which are beneficial for curing some skin ailments such as psoriasis.

Furthermore, silica, when dissolved in water in high concentrations, reflects blue light, giving the Blue Lagoon a beautiful milky blue color. Were you wondering why the Blue Lagoon of Iceland is blue ? Well, that is the reason, and the color has made the Blue Lagoon the most popular spa in Iceland. However, nowadays few visit it for medicinal purposes. Most of us go to this lagoon to relax in its blue waters while being surrounded by an incredible volcanic landscape.

Iceland’s Blue Lagoon was included in the 25 natural wonders of the world by National Geographic and is also considered one of the 10 best spas in the world by Condé Nast Traveler. And despite these qualifications, the Blue Lagoon is man-made . Are you disappointed? You don’t have to be. The Blue Lagoon is worth it

It was formed in the 1970s to reuse water from the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power plant. This seawater, naturally heated by volcanic activity 6,500 feet underground, is used to move the power plant’s turbines. When propelled towards the lagoon, the water drags the silica and minerals from the terrain and cools until the water in the Blue Lagoon is at a temperature between 98 and 106 ºF.

Now that you know what the Blue Lagoon of Iceland is , I assure you that bathing there is very relaxing, and despite its being a very touristy place, it’s worth visiting at least once in your lifetime. The Blue Lagoon is huge, at 7000 m 2 (75,000 ft²) ; you can definitely find a place where you can be practically alone, even in peak tourist season.

Tickets and prices for the Blue Lagoon Spa

Some of the most frequent questions we are asked are “ how much is the Blue Lagoon ” and “ what is included in the Blue Lagoon ticket. “

To help you buy the Iceland Blue Lagoon ticket that best suits you, I’ll briefly explain what each package includes. Of course, keep in mind that the price of the Iceland Blue Lagoon varies according to the time of year and hour booked, so the information provided here might be different for your dates.

Comfort: Blue Lagoon

The Comfort: Blue Lagoon package is the most basic of all and the one that we chose. Includes entrance to the lagoon, a silicon facemask, towel, and a drink of your choice. The price of this ticket is $76.

Although this is the standard entrance to the Blue Lagoon , it may seem expensive compared to other hot springs in Iceland. However, if you can afford it, I think it is worth experiencing and enjoying this relaxing bath even once in a lifetime.

Premium: Blue Lagoon

The Premium: Blue Lagoon package is superb. In this case, in addition to the entrance, a silica facial mask, a towel, and a drink of your choice, it also includes a second mask, slippers, bathrobe, a reservation at the Lava restaurant, and a glass of wine if you ultimately decide to have dinner at this restaurant.

The entrance fee to the Blue Lagoon is $97 with this package. Considering that it’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland, it isn’t that expensive if you value everything it includes and decide to dine at Iceland’s Blue Lagoon.

Luxury Retreat Spa

The entrance to the Blue Lagoon Luxury Retreat Spa is the best you can buy, but it’s also the most expensive by far. For $560, in addition to everything included in the Premium package, you will have access to a private changing room, various skin treatments, and access to different bathing areas, including the Retreat Lagoon, where you can take a relaxing and intimate bath surrounded by volcanic canyons.

This is most definitely the best entrance to the Blue Lagoon that you can buy if you want to have the full experience, but I’ll admit that the price is quite high, and not everyone can afford it.

If you want to know more about tickets to the Blue Lagoon , I recommend checking the official website , where you will get much more detailed information .

Blue Lagoon Geothermal SPA opening hours

The Blue Lagoon is not open to the public 24 hours a day , although it’s open every day of the year. If you don’t want to miss a visit to the Blue Lagoon on your trip to Iceland, I advise checking the schedule during your dates, since the opening hours of the Blue Lagoon vary throughout the year, in addition to changing from one year to another.

Currently, these are the opening hours of the Blue Lagoon on its official website :

• From January 1 to May 24: 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
• From May 25 to June 28: 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
• From June 29 to August 19: 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.
• From August 20 to November 30: 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
• From December 1 to December 30: 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
• December 24: 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
• December 25 and 31: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m .

Best time to visit the Blue Lagoon of Iceland

The best time to visit the Blue Lagoon of Iceland depends on your preferences. If you would like to see idyllic scenery and swim in the steaming Blue Lagoon, surrounded by snow, it’s best to visit the Blue Lagoon in winter . Summer is also a good time to visit, since it isn’t hot outside and the water stays at the same temperature throughout the year, so bathing is just as pleasant.

On sunny days, the Blue Lagoon will look much bluer, so to take photos in the Blue Lagoon, I recommend avoiding cloudy days.

As for the best time to visit the Blue Lagoon , this also depends on what you are looking for. In the central hours of the day, the sun will be higher and, therefore, the silica in the water will reflect more blue light. However, if you travel in peak tourist season, crowds may form in certain areas of the Blue Lagoon.

If you want to keep away from the crowds, it is best to go first thing in the morning or late in the day . Keep in mind what time it gets dark during the dates of your trip, since it changes abruptly throughout the year, and if you go to the Blue Lagoon at night, you will not be able to appreciate its milky blue color.

Check our guide on the weather in Iceland for more recommendations on when to visit.

Blue Lagoon at night – Northern Lights in the Blue Lagoon

During winter, it gets dark very early in Iceland. During many months, it is completely dark at 5 p.m., and considering that the lagoon doesn’t close until 9:00 p.m. from December to May, this leaves us many hours to enjoy the Blue Lagoon at night .

Furthermore, seeing Northern Lights in Iceland is something you have to do at least once in your lifetime. I assure you that it’s one of the best experiences you can have here, and seeing them from the Blue Lagoon is incredible. The colors of the sky together with those of the lagoon create a spectacular landscape. This is another reason why I consider visiting the Blue Lagoon in winter the best option.

Blue Lagoon at night

However, seeing Northern Lights in the Blue Lagoon can sometimes be difficult, as the hotel’s light pollution makes it difficult to see them unless there is a fairly strong solar storm.

If the Blue Lagoon and the Northern Lights are on your bucket list for your trip to Iceland, book this tour , where you can spend the day relaxing in the Blue Lagoon and then go to an area where there is a high probability of seeing the Northern Lights.

What is a visit to the Blue Lagoon SPA like?

Visiting the Blue Lagoon isn’t cheap, so before you book your ticket, I want to give you my opinion on whether the Blue Lagoon is worth it or not and tell you exactly what it is like to visit the Blue Lagoon for the first time .

Things to know before visiting Iceland’s Blue Lagoon

First of all, don’t go to the Blue Lagoon without a reservation . All the times book up months in advance, so if you want to bathe in the Blue Lagoon, book your ticket beforehand.

There is free parking at the Blue Lagoon , so if you have rented a car, you can drive there directly. After registering, they will give you a bracelet for everything, from ordering a beer to getting your silica mask or locking your locker. You can also rent a swimsuit and slippers if you forgot to bring them.

What are the Blue Lagoon facilities like?

After going to the locker room, which is separated by sex, and storing your belongings, you will arrive at the indoor pool, where there is also a store where you can buy snacks or a waterproof case for your phone if you forgot to bring one.

Take a shower and go outside to discover the best of the Blue Lagoon, and don’t worry: you won’t get cold, even if the temperature is below 32 ºF. From here, my advice is to make the most of all the facilities you have access to with your type of entrance to the Blue Lagoon , including the bar where you can get drinks while you bathe. I assure you that there is nothing like enjoying a beer at the Blue Lagoon. Don’t forget to ask for your free mask at the kiosks that you will see in the center of the lagoon.

You will also find several restaurants, the Moss Restaurant, the Lava Restaurant, and the Spa Restaurant, so you have several options to eat in the Blue Lagoon .

My advice to visit the Blue Lagoon is to stay away from the main building. The Blue Lagoon is huge, and if you stray a little, you can enjoy a relaxing experience without so many people around.

Is the Blue Lagoon worth it?

Many photos of the Blue Lagoon you have seen were actually taken at Retreat Lagoon instead, which is a series of remote volcanic canyons that you will only have access to if you have paid for the Blue Lagoon Luxury Retreat Spa package.

If you pay the price of that ticket, I assure you that you will leave there thinking it was worth it. But if you go with the basic entrance and have those dreamy landscapes in mind, the Blue Lagoon might disappoint you a bit.

If you are good at being in very touristy places and sharing space and water with hundreds of other people, I think the Blue Lagoon is worth it, even if you pay the basic entry.

I didn’t regret visiting it, but, in my case, it’s not something I think I will do again, since there are many other hot springs in Iceland that I still have to visit. However, if you’ve never done it before, I think visiting the Blue Lagoon is the best thing to do in Iceland .

Where in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon? Is the Blue Lagoon in Reykjavik?

If you’re wondering, “ where is the Blue Lagoon ,” don’t worry because I’m going to give you all the details you need to get there. The Blue Lagoon is very close to Grindavík, on the Reykjanes peninsula, southwest of Iceland. From Reykjavik, it takes approximately 40-45 minutes by car, and from the airport, it takes approximately 20 minutes.

Although it’s a very popular visit among tourists visiting Reykjavik and it’s even suggested as one of the essential visits from the capital, the Blue Lagoon isn’t in Reykjavik . Still, due to its proximity, it is one of the most popular excursions from Reykjavik .

How to get to the Blue Lagoon hot spring in Iceland

If you are going to rent a car in Iceland , you will have no problem getting there, as it’s well signposted and there is free parking .

Find Cheap Rental Cars in Iceland

However, if you are traveling through Iceland without a car, don’t worry. You can get to the Blue Lagoon from Reykjavik by bus .

If you have already bought a ticket to this spa and want to get to the Blue Lagoon from Reykjavik , I advise you to book this transfer , since it includes both the outward and return journey. The best thing is that there are departures every hour from the BSI bus terminal, and the same goes for departures from the Blue Lagoon. If you prefer a private transfer, you have this option .

Keep in mind that neither of these two options includes admission to the Blue Lagoon SPA, but if you book a Blue Lagoon tour from Reykjavik , you can save quite a bit, as you will see below .

If you don’t plan to rent a car in Iceland, then I will tell you the best tours to the Blue Lagoon from Reykjavik that you can book.

1. Blue Lagoon Entry with Roundtrip Transfers

This basic tour includes entrance and transport to the Blue Lagoon of Iceland from Reykjavik and helps you save compared to booking the entrance to the Blue Lagoon and the transport separately.

A bus will pick you up at the hotel where you are staying in Reykjavik and will take you to the Blue Lagoon, where you will have about four hours to enjoy yourself before returning to Reykjavik. The ticket included in this tour is the basic one, the Comfort: Blue Lagoon package .

• Highlights : Comfort entrance to the Blue Lagoon and round-trip transportation from Reykjavik.

2. Small-Group Golden Circle & Blue Lagoon Tour with Admission

If, besides the Blue Lagoon, you are interested in seeing other attractions near Reykjavik, I recommend you take this tour in which you will also visit some of the essential Iceland Golden Circle stops .

In addition to taking a relaxing dip in the Blue Lagoon , you will visit the main tourist attractions of the Golden Circle , such as Thingvellir National Park, the active Strokkur geyser, Gullfoss waterfall, and Kerid Crater.

3. From Reykjavik: Blue Lagoon and Northern Lights Tour

The Blue Lagoon and Northern Lights tour is another of the best excursions to the Blue Lagoon from Reykjavik that you can book and I recommend doing so here . If it’s your first time in Iceland and, in addition to seeing the Blue Lagoon, you want to enjoy a spectacle of nature such as the northern lights, I recommend you take this tour. Also, so that you can immortalize the moment, I recommend taking a look at our guide on how to photograph the northern lights .

If you are wondering where to stay in the Blue Lagoon of Iceland to be close to this wonderful spa, then check out the best hotels in the Blue Lagoon that you can find.

1. The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland

The Retreat is, without a doubt, the best hotel in Iceland’s Blue Lagoon . It is a luxury hotel located in the Blue Lagoon itself. In addition to 62 suites, a fitness center, and a traditional Icelandic restaurant, the hotel offers a host of activities, from yoga to hiking. There is no doubt that this is the best hotel in the Blue Lagoon, since you will have unlimited access to the Blue Lagoon, the Blue Retreat, and different body treatments. However, only a few lucky people can afford it.

2. Northern Light Inn

The Northern Light Inn is a family hotel with a spa, fitness center, fireplace lounge, and best of all, incredible panoramic views. It is 0.5 miles from the Blue Lagoon, making it perfect and very comfortable for those who want to visit the lagoon first thing in the morning or late in the day. And best of all, it has a free shuttle to the Blue Lagoon , which is why it has become one of the best hotels in the Blue Lagoon .

3. Mar Guesthouse

Unlike the previous two, the Mar Guesthouse is somewhat far from the Blue Lagoon, 4 miles to be exact, but it’s the best option if you are looking for a cheap hotel near the Blue Lagoon.

The rooms are perfectly equipped, some even have a kitchen, and it’s in the center of Grindavík, a town that I love because it has a lot of good restaurants. It’s certainly a good place to stay in the Blue Lagoon . In addition, since it’s somewhat more modest than the previous hotels, it is perfect if you are traveling on a budget.

• In order to enter Iceland, U.S. and Canadian citizens need a valid passport with an expiration date extending at least six months beyond the date of reentry.
• We recommend having at least one blank passport page for entry stamps.
• Beginning in 2025, U.S. and Canadian passport holders must register for an ETIAS travel authorization in order to enter many European countries.
• Passport holders from over 60 visa-exempt countries (including the U.S. and Canada) will need to apply for an ETIAS travel authorization in order to visit 30 European countries. That means that even if you’ve previously traveled to any of these European countries without a visa, starting in 2025, you’ll need to get ETIAS authorization to visit them again. If you’re traveling to multiple countries with this requirement, you only need to complete the form once. All Go Ahead travelers are responsible for obtaining their own ETIAS travel authorization before departure. For more details, please visit our Help Center .
• If you are not a U.S. or Canadian citizen, you must contact each country’s consulate for your specific entry requirements.
• You can see the most up-to-date entry requirements for the destination(s) you’ll visit on tour by going to goaheadtours.com/entry-requirements and searching the code ICL.
• Round-trip flights booked through Go Ahead Tours arrive in and depart from Reykjavik.
• Transfers to and from the airport at the beginning and end of the tour are included for travelers who purchased their flights through Go Ahead Tours. Travelers who booked their own flights are responsible for securing their own airport transfers.
• When you arrive in Reykjavik, a Go Ahead representative will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall with a Go Ahead sign or a sign with your name(s). If you don’t see a representative immediately, please be patient and stay in the arrivals area. They may be assisting another traveler who has also just arrived and will be back shortly.
• Depending on the time of year, some travelers may be required to spend an extra night in the U.S. before boarding their connecting flight home. In these cases, Go Ahead Tours will reserve your hotel and you'll arrive home one day after the last day of the tour.

Physical Activity Level

This is a high physical activity-level tour. You can expect to regularly be on the move throughout your trip.

Tour Pacing

This is a very fast-paced tour. Tour pacing considers how often you’ll switch hotels, what you’ll do each day, and how you’ll get from place to place. You can expect:

• Most days and evenings full of included activities (more if you add excursions)
• All transportation by motor coach
• Daily bus time varies and can be lengthy

Walking, Terrain & Physical Requirements

• Travelers should be prepared to walk 2-3 miles per day - this includes city streets, unpaved paths, icy terrain, stairs, and hills.
• Travelers should be healthy enough to participate in all included walks without assistance.
• Please Note: Adding optional excursions may increase the total amount of walking on your tour

Climate Considerations

• The winter season in Iceland occurs between October and March. It's strongly recommended that travelers are prepared for wet, windy and cold climate conditions.
• Weather can change quickly and frequently during this season. Travelers should be prepared for sudden changes to the itinerary to accommodate unfavorable weather.
• Daylight is limited during the winter; December sees on average only 4.5 hours of sunlight each day.

Physical Activity & Tour Pace Questions

• Go Ahead Tours and the Tour Director who accompanies your group are unable to provide special mobility or luggage-handling assistance to travelers on tour. The responsibility of the Tour Director is to ensure the whole group enjoys a smooth and informative journey, and they can’t be relied on to provide individualized assistance to any one traveler.
• This tour moves at a reasonable pace to avoid missing scheduled stops. The group can’t miss any activities because of an individual’s needs.

• When you travel with Go Ahead Tours, you’ll make a positive impact on the places you visit and the people and animals you meet along the way. That’s because our three core Responsible Travel commitments—protecting the environment, supporting local communities, and promoting animal welfare—are at the heart of every tour we offer.
• Travel, when done responsibly, can have an enormous socioeconomic impact on communities. To maximize your impact, eat at locally owned restaurants and shop at small businesses. Ask your Tour Director to point out restaurants they recommend.
• Prepare for your trip: Be aware of monetary norms such as tipping and negotiating in a market; learn about the destination’s forms of etiquette; and take some time to learn a few words in the local language.
• When interacting with locals, make sure to ask people for permission before you take their picture, and approach cultural differences with empathy and an open mind.
• Go Ahead Tours encourages travelers to limit their waste while on the road, especially single-use plastics. You can cut back on generating plastic waste by packing your own toiletries, using electronic documents, and bringing a reusable water bottle and shopping bag. If you need to use plastics or paper, please recycle.
• When visiting national parks, reserves, or other protected areas, please do not remove anything from the natural environment or leave any litter. Carry out what you carried in.
• When you come across wild animals on tour, take the philosophies of World Animal Protection to heart: Don’t touch or feed them, and maintain a respectful distance. The animals you encounter on your trip should be able to exhibit natural forms of behavior.
• Furthermore, avoid buying exploitative animal products, like crafts made from tortoiseshell or meals such as shark fin soup.
• If you feel we aren’t meeting any of these commitments, please let us know.
