The Ultimate Icelandic Wellness Experience

Located in a lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula, the Blue Lagoon is a world-renowned geothermal spa and one of the 25 Wonders of the World. The water's unique color comes from its high silica content, which forms a soft white mud on the lagoon floor that guests use as a rejuvenating facial mask. Whether you are looking for a simple bus transfer from Reykjavik, a full-day Golden Circle adventure ending with a soak, or a luxury private transfer from Keflavik Airport, our platform connects you with the highest-rated operators. Experience temperatures between 37–40°C (98–104°F) year-round while surrounded by Iceland's stunning volcanic landscape.

Planning

Historical Context

The lagoon formed accidentally in 1976. People began bathing there in the early 80s after discovering its skin-healing properties, leading to the formal opening in 1987.

Photography Tips

  • Bring a waterproof phone pouch
  • Wipe your lens frequently as steam will fog it up
  • Portrait mode works great for capturing the blue water contrast against skin

Insider Tips

  • Apply the hair conditioner BEFORE entering the water and don't wash it out
  • There is a free luggage storage area for small bags inside the lockers; use the external storage only for large suitcases
  • The water is shallow (waist-deep), so you can walk through the whole lagoon

Our Partners

  • Official affiliate partner of Viator and TripAdvisor.

Fun Facts

  • The Blue Lagoon is actually man-made; the water is the runoff from the nearby geothermal power plant!
  • The water completely renews itself every 48 hours.

Cancellation Policy

Most tours offer a full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Always check the specific terms of your chosen partner tour.

A Dream Come True

The milky water is even more blue in person. Use the silica mask—my skin felt amazing for days after!

The lagoon is stunning. It was quite crowded, but booking the early 8 AM slot helped us beat the largest crowds.

Perfect Winter Day

We did the Golden Circle + Blue Lagoon combo. Watching the sunset from the warm water in the middle of December was the highlight of our trip.
