Blue Lagoon

Take a dip in the naturally heated waters of the award-winning Blue Lagoon, one of Iceland’s premier attractions.

Set amidst a field of black basalt lava, the temperature in this stunning lagoon averages a relaxing 35-40°C and powder-blue mineral rich waters mix with seawater. The concept is ingenious, the experience therapeutic and totally relaxing. No wonder many Icelanders attribute their well-being to bathing in these beneficial waters! Being a mere 15 minute drive from Keflavik international airport, a soothing dip in these warm waters is the perfect way to top or tail any of our holidays, whatever the time of year.

About the Blue Lagoon
Located only 15 minutes from Keflavik International Airport it’s easy to incorporate a visit here into any of our tailor made itineraries.

Gently steaming amidst a surreal lavascape, the powder-blue mineral rich waters are the run-off from a geothermal project. With its therapeutic properties and wide range of spa treatments, available both in the water and in special treatment rooms, a visit here is a must!

Please note that due to the Blue Lagoon’s popularity and in order to avoid delays upon arrival we strongly recommend customers to pre-book their entrance tickets in advance with an allocated entry time. Please contact our team to find out more.
