After driving around route 1 in Iceland for 7 days last week we rewarded ourselves with a visit to the Blue Lagoon. Besides the visually stunning appearance of the lagoon the idea of a geothermal hot pool appeals to just about all of us. Pricey at 60 euro I hoped that I would not be disappointed. The change room facilities... More

Took Reykjavik excursions from the BSI bus terminal and had my luggage stored while here. I spent about 3.5 hours here before catching an onward bus to the airport. I am glad I was here for opening because I did need the time I had here and didn't get tired of being in the water. It is a very comfortable... More

This is such a great way to get refreshed after the flight to Iceland. We headed straight there from the airport - it was very relaxing and invigorating at the same time. Just like a hot tub lake. You will have to shower before you go in but there are private shower stalls and after a flight, who doesn't need... More

On the way to Amsterdam for a river cruise, we flew Iceland Air from JFK with a stopover in Reykjavik. Iceland Air allows up to a 7 day layover at no additional cost to the traveler. Hey! Why not take advantage of a "free" trip to Iceland?? I had gone to a geothermal pool in Northern Iceland and I really... More

The Blue Lagoon was absolutely amazing! The changing rooms are really modern and clean. To keep the lagoon as clean as possible they do encourage that you shower nude, however there are cubicals to shower in. Then you go to the lagoon itself, which is body temperature and very blue! You can smell the sulfur of the geo thermal energy... More

Blue Lagoon is wonderful.We stopped off after arriving at the airport and picking up our hire car on our way to Reykjavik. The facilities are very good with excellent changing rooms.Swimming in the warm (at times very) waters is an amazing experience. The temperature was around 7-10 degrees but the water was about 38-40 degrees so don't be afraid of... More

It's about 5 degrees and your sitting in this nice turquoise blue water that it 38 degrees! Its amazing, I haven't seen anything like this before. The whole experience is great and well worth the 30 euros they charge.

This is the way to enjoy the Lagoon. We stayed at the end of April 2012. They have their own lagoon which is open to guests who are staying twice a day for 2 hours at a time. The best is at night soaking and then going to bed after for a fabulous nights sleep. Rooms are really nice and... More

Awesome experience! A must do thing when in Iceland. A bit pricey! We visited it when there was a strong, cold north wind, so our body was warm while our hair froze, but what a thrill! We recomend getting a robe as well as a towel if you are there in cool weather. The restaurant was over-rated with pricey fast... More

Every Iceland brochure or website we read before going to Iceland said a visit to the Blue Lagoon was a must. Having now been to Blue Lagoon, I do agree! I don't think you'll ever get another experience quite like this. It was pricey but seriously, if you're going to visit Iceland, another $129 US is worth it to see... More
