Description

Elevate your trip to North Iceland with a relaxing geothermal bathing experience by booking this entrance ticket to the Forest Lagoon. Travelers and locals who want to dip in infinity pools while surrounded by breathtaking landscapes will enjoy the excellent amenities and facilities that the Forest Lagoon offers.

Your refreshing experience opens as you arrive at the Forest Lagoon, located two miles (3.5 kilometers) and just a few minute drive from Akureyri. The geothermal spa is easy to find using online maps and GPS as it lies along the famous Route 1 or Ring Road of Iceland.

The Forest Lagoon is an up-and-coming attraction that opened in 2022. It sits on a vast space measuring 13,993 square feet (1,300 square meters) in the Vadlaskogur forest near Akureyri. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a beautiful sight of lush vegetation, with thousands of birch and pine trees covering the area.

Your admission ticket to the Forest Lagoon gives you access to the whole property and its modern facilities. It features infinity pools, a sauna, swim-up bars, changing rooms, and a cold tub to immerse yourself in a haven of tranquility.

You can spend much of your time in the attraction dipping in the two infinity pools. The bigger pool measures 5,704 square feet (530 square meters) and maintains a soothing 37 C (98.6 F) temperature throughout the year. 

Meanwhile, the smaller pool stands at 570 square feet (53 square meters) at a warmer 40 C (104 F).

The lagoons' waters, which originate from a nearby mountain, are rich in minerals that are good for your skin. Geothermal heat from deep within the Earth warms these pools to maintain their comfortable temperatures.

While enjoying a soak in the pools or the cold tub, guests can enjoy a panoramic view of the Vadlaskogur forest and the sea. In front of the complex lies the Eyjafjordur fjord, Iceland's longest fjord. 

After making the most of your time thermal bathing, you can cap off your Forest Lagoon experience with a visit to its on-site restaurant called Forest Bistro. The restaurant serves light meals and brunches, including lamp soup, pizza, salad, and seafood dishes.

Whether you visit the Forest Lagoon as a standalone experience or as part of a larger North Iceland itinerary, its peaceful atmosphere ensures an intimate and unforgettable journey. This North Iceland attraction, accommodating up to 200 guests, is open daily from 10:00 am to 12:00 midnight.

Please note that this admission ticket to the Forest Lagoon gives you a day's access to its facilities. However, food and drinks are not included in the tour price. You must also bring your towel and swimsuit if you don't want to rent on-site.

Don't miss out on this admission ticket to the Forest Lagoon, where you can enjoy a soothing geothermal bath surrounded by forests and a fjord in North Iceland. Check availability now by choosing a date.

Tips from travelers

  • Pack a personal bath towel

    Bring your own towel to avoid paying the on-site rental charge.

  • Place footwear inside your locker

    Keep your shoes inside your assigned locker rather than on the open shelves by the entrance.

  • Go during the early morning

    Enter the lagoon early in the day to enjoy calm water before crowds arrive.

  • Keep a phone nearby for photos

    Take your mobile device to the pool edge to capture views across the water.

  • Try the warm lamb soup

    Order a bowl of traditional soup or a drink from the bistro beside the baths.

  • Plan transport for late evenings

    Arrange a taxi ahead of time if you intend to stay soaking past the final public shuttle departure.

What travelers love

More than half of reviews mention the scenery.

  • Birch forest surroundings
  • Built-in pool seating and tables
  • Swim-up pool bar
  • Various pool temperatures

Most common complaint: Private shower stalls are scarce in the locker rooms, leaving guests to use communal washing spaces. Wait briefly for a curtained cubicle if you prefer not to wash in the open area.

We had a very nice experience there. One thing that's good to know is that they usually don't allow children in after 20:00. But the shift manager made an exception for us. We were highly grateful for that!

This experience was amazing beyond belief, the staff were incredible and very helpful.

The lagoon itself is gorgeous and has various baths, 2 hot plunges, one massive and one smaller but higher up for great pictures for the view of the snowy mountains and ocean. A sauna with an amazing view and a cold plunge of 12°. Brrrrrrrr

The best time in my opinion to go is 10-11am if you want to get the sunrise and it not be busy at all!!!! There was about 3 other people in the entire place so was very quiet to have a peaceful and relaxing experience.

Would highly recommend a visit.

Sad that so busy the first time we went- avoid Friday evenings! Seems like the UK equivalent of local pub, as everyone was drinking and talking in the pool. Hard to swim. It is beautifully decorated, as are so many homes tec, for Christmas with lovely white lights on trees- not garish but beautiful.

We went back on the Monday and it was much better. Quiet. Really friendly staff too, as I lost my padlock key- unsure how and they were very kind about it. So, 5 stars all around. Thank you.
