Iceland · GEOTHERMAL BATHS & LAGOONS
The Blue Lagoon is the famous one, Sky Lagoon has the ocean edge and the Secret Lagoon at Fludir is the old-fashioned one. These 15 compare admission, what the ritual and towel actually cost, and which pair sensibly with a day tour.
Sky Lagoon by Reykjavík’s coast. Get an entry pass plus the 7-step ritual, with geothermal pools, sauna views, and a crowberry finish.
“The sunset from the water was amazingly beautiful! The ritual was delightful! The attendants were thoughtful & attentive. The sauna at 180°F was awesome, & the huge window overlooking the sea was lovely! I will happily go back repeatedly!”
10-hour Golden Circle bus tour with Kerið, Strokkur, Gullfoss, Þingvellir, and 1.5 hours swimming at Secret Lagoon.
“Great trip. Our guide Sunny was very enthusiastic and informative about lots of things to keep us entertained brought the day. Got to visit some fantastic places on this tour.”
Iceland’s Sky Lagoon spa with round-trip transfers from BSI, plus a 7-step Skjól ritual and ocean-view infinity pool.
“Could be improved with allowing you to go back into the sauna after cooling down”
Sky Lagoon in Reykjavik pairs ocean views with a guided 7-step ritual, warm and cold waters, steam, dry heat, and Icelandic comfort.
“It was breathtaking. I would love to come again with my partner. I wish I could go back to use the other facilities when I come out but I guess that’s how the experience is”
Golden Circle plus Secret Lagoon from Reykjavik, with Þingvellir, Gullfoss, Strokkur, and a soothing 1-hour soak in a local hot spring.
“Rakel was a great tour guide! She was very sweet and knowledgeable. She also took us to two spots that weren’t listed on the tour, which made the tour extra enjoyable. She also set a good pace. I’d recommend her and Gateway to Iceland!”
Soak in 38 to 39°C hot spring water at Iceland’s Secret Lagoon, with modern showers and lockers, and a calmer vibe near the Golden Circle.
“Everything was amazing. Not much people during winter time ❤️”
Golden Circle plus Secret Lagoon and Kerid Crater from Reykjavik, with hotel pickup, guided stops, and a hot-spring soak.
“It was a good tour. At our last stop at Pingvellir National Park I thought we could have had a little bit more time but we had some other people on our tour that had delayed the start so not sure if that is why we had a little less time. I liked the secret lagoon and it was a nice break! Overall a good tour.”
Small-group Golden Circle day from Reykjavik with Secret Lagoon entry and Kerið crater, built for fewer crowds and real Iceland time.
“Fantastic day. Our guide Alex was the Best! We had plenty of time to see everything! I highly recommend this excursion.”
Sky Lagoon in Reykjavik with transfers, Wi-Fi on board, and the Skjól 7-step spa ritual, plus unreal North Atlantic views.
“The ritual was an amazing experience. I would do it over again. The only thing I would change would be to limit the number of people more per time alot, its not that big. The optimal time to go is sunset. Once the sun sets and lights come on, its even more beautiful.”
Golden Circle plus a Secret Lagoon soak. Þingvellir, Strokkur geyser action, Gullfoss falls, and app audio on a smooth day trip.
“It was a really nice tour, covering some amazing highlights. I would have loved to have a bit more time at the first stop, if I could change anything. But overall it was very nice, and the lagoon at the end was the best. Thanks to Dagmar, Hermann and the guys who picked us up for a great day!”
Bake Icelandic lava bread at Laugarvatn Fontana, watch dough buried in geothermal sand, then taste rye bread with smoked trout.
“absolutely a must do..the kids enjoyed it very much. the rye bread with trout is just soooo delicious”
Golden Circle sights plus Kerid Crater and a Sky Lagoon infinity pool swim, with hotel pickup, a guide, and time for photos.
“We had the most perfect day with our tour guide Dominika. She made the journey in between sites very memorable and gave us really interesting facts about Iceland and its culture that you wouldn’t normally get to hear, alongside linking in trending songs, movies and TV shows to the places we were visiting. Cannot thank her enough for making the day so enjoyable. All of the view points and activities were incredible and the sky lagoon was great.”
Golden Circle sights plus Sky Lagoon spa from Reykjavik, including Kerid crater, towels, Wi-Fi minibus pickup, and guided commentary.
“It was a fantastic trip, and the tour guide was excellent. The trip is well-planned with a great allocation of time between sites.”
Small-group Golden Circle with Secret Lagoon soak and Friðheimar tomato farm, Reykjavik pickup, English guide, max 19.
“Incredible day touring the Golden Circle with Carlos the guide! Small group which made the experience feel more personal and easygoing. Had a good amount of time at each spot and received some interesting facts about Iceland, we even managed to stop off at an extra spot to meet some Icelandic Horses! Definitely recommend!”
Forest Lagoon in Akureyri, Iceland. Geothermal pools, Finnish dry sauna, cold plunge, plus a towel and one swim-up bar drink.
“Amazing views, helpful staff and a beautiful venue. Iceland has a lot of things that are very expensive (the taxi to and from the town a 6 minute drive away totalled £30) but this actually felt very good value for money. The swim up bar was also reasonably priced, and no set end time meant you could enjoy it for as long as you wanted. Definitely recommend taking your own towels and swimwear - and a waterproof bag for cameras and phones! You can borrow all of these but that does make the cost rocket quickly.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
