Cross this place from your bucket list, the Blue Lagoon is totally awesome. But remember to bring some flip flops if you don't want your feet to burn on the very cold floors outside during winter.

Few tips: Put a ton of hair conditioner! Ease your way out from the inside pool and get comfy in the cave before you step out. Follow the trail on the left of the entrance for a great photo opp.

Amazing place and experience. Book Lava Restaurant and It is good to bring a water prof case for your phone to take pictures but if you don't they sell it on the bar

In water massage appointments can book up quickly, so sign up online or early morning. Then do a mini hike around the facility after you're sufficiently waterlogged.

Pricey but a really nice experience. Renting a bathrobe and slippers costs ISK 3050 (about $24 or €19). Compare to €30 extra for the same in premium package but that includes a drink & toiletries.

Absolutely beautiful and relaxing! If you have a little extra cash to spare do the premium package. Loved the silica mask. Relaxation area with chairs was awesome after with a cozy bathrobe.

Amazing warm pool to relax and enjoy the natural water. Basic ticket is enough to swim & enjoy the pool & it include 1 free drink. Bring your slipper. The only drawback is the size of changing room.
Michelle Teefey-LeeMarch 14, 2017
Be sure to book in advance!! Considering how long the queue was, the pool is surprisingly not that cramped. It's beautiful, but quite manmade. Lava restaurant offers delicious dinner too!
Victoria WongJanuary 7, 2015
Geothermal spa like no other. The calm blue waters among the scenic mountainous landscape is unbeatable! bathrooms are clean and well equipped with soap, conditioners, hair dryers and cotton buds
WendyNovember 7, 2018
Go early! 8am when it opens is the best, watch the sun rise, or in our case, watch the sky get lighter. Afternoon is too crowded. Get the masks, drinks, massages, check out the steam rooms.
MarieJune 21, 2018
Many say it’s a tourist trap but we loved it here, especially after a long red eye flight. Bob around in opaque geothermal water while drinking a complimentary drink wearing a silica mask. Heavenly.
ElisaMarch 5, 2016
Loved the face masks and felt very relaxed after a couple of hours in here. Smoothies are lovely and lots of drinking water fountains available 👍🏼

Make sure you cover your hair with a lot of conditioner (located in their shower) before going into the water. I'd tie your hair up as well. The waters very bad for your hair.
Staci StevensFebruary 18, 2020
AMAZING! arrive at 8am in winter for stunning experience watching the sun rise over the lagoon. Also way less crowded.
Jack LiuDecember 25, 2016
The lagoon itself is obviously impressive, but make sure to take a walk outside to the right of the front entrance, the views are gorgeous
Baris TuraSeptember 22, 2018
Incredibly relaxing. Must visit. Need to book at least a week in advance. 70€ entrance. Towel, shampoo, shower gel, body cream, silica mask and welcome drink included. Bring flip-flops.
David HoltzSeptember 6, 2016
It's worth it to upgrade to "comfort" - between the algae mask, the free drink, and the towel, you can easily get your money's worth. Don't spring for premium though - seemed like a ripoff!
Tom ChanOctober 14, 2014
The view, atmosphere and experience is surreal. The massages are definitely worth every penny. No where else can you get a water massage while floating in hot springs and staring at the sky.
ElisaMarch 4, 2023
Those with long hair - use lots of conditioner BEFORE entering the lagoon. The water will dry your hair out. Check out the quiet area if you want to relax away from the mobs of tourists.
Yuko MFebruary 25, 2015
Recommend to go there after 15 so you enjoy the bath with less people and if you are lucky you may get to see the beautiful sunset from the bath. We had so much joy!
Muriel VegaSeptember 11, 2014
Really touristy but worth the stop. We took the fly bus from the airport here. Get the middle package, it includes one drink and a mud mask. The strawberry smoothie is really good!
Gloria JMarch 8, 2016
Pretty hot spring! The water is very warm and relaxing. The woman's changing / shower area is big. Lots of lockers. Several vanity areas with nice lighted mirrors and hair dryers.
Daniele TigliNovember 15, 2017
It’s a paradise! Crew is extremely friendly and if you come at nights (less people around) in winter you might have the chance to spot the famous Northern Lights right from the lagoon. Amazing.
Pez CuckowApril 7, 2018
Don’t forget to leave conditioner in before you get in the water. Also, if you go to the ($$$) restaurant, upstairs where the bathrooms are you can find a balcony with a great view!
Philip BeasleyNovember 10, 2018
Just sublime. Out of this world. And unique. Blissful bucket list stuff. Changing rooms are a bit too small.
K. L.October 2, 2017
Fantastic scenery and water. Don't except the usual quiet and chilled spa atmosphere, this highly frequented sight sees many thousand visitors per day. The relaxation area inside is laughably small.
Yiu Kuen O'Shea-PoonDecember 29, 2015
Amazing setting, nice hot water is very relaxing, super high quality food in the lava restaurant. Fun silica mud masks to make your skin feel tight and soft.
Ardith FerogliaDecember 8, 2015
We went directly after landing at KEF. Super easy to transport us and our luggage from KEF, to the Lagoon, and then on to the city. Perfect recipe for relaxation.
C JFebruary 17, 2014
Many ppl bring hotel towels which all look the same and get mixed up and nicked. You don't need to bring it out to the Lagoon, but if you do, hang it in the Blue Café. Oh, and sunglasses are a must.
Simon EddyFebruary 15, 2018
Worth the trek (it's 45 mins from Reykjavik). Go for a spot first thing in the morning and arrive in darkness for the proper atmospheric entrance.
Kate FurmanMay 27, 2015
Most popular tourist destination in Iceland. This place is bougie, clean facilities, free amenities including shampoo, conditioner, qtips, cotton balls and bags to put your wet suit in.
Jenny SDecember 14, 2014
Rent/bring a robe if you're visiting in the winter. You'll thank me. Take photos of the lagoon with your jacket on. Go to the back left side for the hottest water. Inside the "cave" there is a guide
Markus BOctober 21, 2015
Totally a tourist place. If you don't want to enter the swimming area you can still walk around on the outside to see the blue lakes and their nice contrast to the black lava rocks.
KarrieJanuary 3, 2014
Truly a once-in-a-lifetime exp: hot spring at 0° with icy silicon mud to sooth and refresh your body and soul. Try it both the day with the blue; and the night with the sky of stars.
Ryan BishopMarch 28, 2018
Such a good way to start or end a trip! Great service extremely friendly and helpful. Bar in the lagoon what else could you need?
Ryan BrightSeptember 17, 2016
Magical place. Book early and schedule a time early in the day for the lightest crowds. Also be sure to book a massage ahead of time! Slots fill up weeks in advance.
AndyMay 7, 2017
book in advance, tickets sell out days in advance! definitely overpriced for what it is, but it's definitely a must when in Iceland
Sotiris TsioutsiasMarch 15, 2017
Greatest experience of all. 3 hours passed and still thought I was in the water for 10 minutes. They offer many services in general. I took the comfort option with the free 1st drink and algae mask.
Julie LOctober 2, 2016
A must when visiting Iceland. Relaxing in hot water doesn't get old. Book before your visit to be sure to get in.
David SmithSeptember 26, 2015
It is a great experience and I recommend you do it At least once. The Myvatn Nature Baths in the north are a little better and less chaotic
Lydia UnicørnAugust 8, 2015
If you find a 50€ entrance fee slightly too expensive and are looking for a "real" Icelandic bathing experience consider the many public swimming pools. Especially Nautholsvik is a great experience!
Tyler TannerSeptember 26, 2014
Get the package deal before online to beat the tourist groups crowding at 10am. Unique & totally worth the money. May wreck hair. Bald guys like did not have a problem. Come right after landing here
BestTravellerJanuary 14, 2023
Natural wonder. 80 euros for one. One free drink and Towel included. Your head freezes ;) take a hat with you.
Marianne PettyJanuary 5, 2014
Absolutely amazing, highly recommend a stop here on any trip to Iceland. Go for the package that includes the towel and robe to make the dash to the lagoon slightly more bearable.
DarkMarch 24, 2013
Bring an underwater camera, but if you don't have one there is an area to the left of the entrance where you can take photos of the gorgeous blue pools.
Lisa StarbucksApril 6, 2016
It's huge and seems to be solely made for tourists. Have not met one Icelander. It's busy but with the mist it feels like you are the only people. You don't smell the sulfur either!
Alexandros KazilasApril 24, 2016
Scenic views , the feeling is unique , leave your towel to your locker ! Many take other people's towels . Loved everything
Greg S.December 5, 2015
When it was super cold (0*C) and the wind was whipping around, the waterfall and cave outside of the building were the warmest spots. Steam room was incredible.
Benjamin DoyleSeptember 6, 2015
although it is the runoff of the neighboring geothermal plant, shits still dope. do it up, get drinks from the swim-up bar
Sam ThorntonJuly 13, 2023
The mineral content of the water means there’s lots of glare in the lagoon. It can also ruin your expensive shades - buy a cheap pair you don’t mind getting ruined to wear in the lagoon.
