Soak in floating geothermal pools on the shore of Urridavatn Lake with this Enjoy package admission ticket to Vok Baths in East Iceland. It suits travelers passing through Egilsstadir who want to visit Iceland's only floating baths, with a hot tisane and towel use included.
The Vok Baths Enjoy (Njota) ticket covers everything you need for a full soak: the two floating pools, the main hot pool on shore, the steam bath, the cold water mist tunnel, and the wild lake plunge, along with a towel, a locker, shower amenities, and a herbal tisane at the tea bar.
Vok Baths is about 0.3 miles (500 meters) off the Ring Road, a five-minute drive from downtown Egilsstadir. Park at the lakeside building, collect your towel and wristband at reception, and shower before you head out to the water.
The two hexagonal floating pools are anchored on the lake itself and reach about 106 degrees Fahrenheit (41 degrees Celsius). A narrow walkway takes you over the cold water to the warm pools, where you sit at lake level with the hills of East Iceland all around.
Back on shore, you can switch between the main hot pool, the steam bath, and the cold water mist tunnel. If you are brave, you can step straight off the deck into Urridavatn Lake for a cold plunge, then return to the tea bar for a herbal infusion.
The water rises from hot springs beneath the lake bed and has no chlorine or added chemicals. Locals named the site after the vakir, the holes in the ice that never froze over in winter. Vok Bistro on site serves locally sourced dishes if you want a meal afterward.
You can stay in the pools as long as you like within opening hours.
