Description
Enjoy a geothermal spa visit at the newest attraction on the Golden Circle with the Lerki Pass to Laugaras Lagoon.
This ticket suits travelers who want more than basic lagoon access.
Laugaras Lagoon is close to Geysir Geothermal Area and Gullfoss Waterfall and a few minutes from Skalholt Cathedral. It lies in Laugaras Village by the Hvita River, about 80 minutes from Reykjavik, and is easy to reach from the main roads of South Iceland.
The Lerki Pass includes unlimited access to the lagoon's outdoor areas: the geothermal lagoon, two saunas, and a cold plunge pool.
The pass also includes a personal locker, a vanity area with a hair dryer, and shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. The swim-up bars serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, including the lagoon's own cocktails.
The Lerki Pass is the mid-priced ticket and offers more than the basic Birki Pass. The other option is the Osp Pass, which adds a two-course meal at Ylja Restaurant, where Icelandic chef Gisli Matt prepares seasonal dishes from fresh, local ingredients.
When you arrive at Laugaras Lagoon, a waterfall almost 23 feet (7 meters) wide flows into the lagoon. You can even walk through it to reach the lower part of the lagoon.
The lower part has a grotto, a quiet zone framed by basalt columns, for a more private soak in this two-level lagoon.
Beyond the main pool, two saunas stand among the trees. Inside, wide windows look out over the Hvita River and the surrounding landscape.
Next to the sauna house, a cold plunge pool lets you cool off after a warm soak. Then you can settle into the Forest Pool, a quiet corner of the lagoon surrounded by trees and rising steam.
Guests are encouraged to stay for at least two hours, and there is no time limit, so you can explore each section at your own pace.
Laugaras Lagoon is a quieter alternative to the busier spas in Iceland, with several thermal zones and a convenient location near the sights of the Golden Circle.
