Best Blue Lagoon Tours in Iceland — Biggest Selection & Lowest Prices Guaranteed

The Blue Lagoon is Iceland’s most famous geothermal spa, offering a unique experience surrounded by volcanic landscapes and soothing, mineral-rich waters. Located between Reykjavik and Keflavik International Airport — about 20 minutes by car from Keflavik and 50 minutes from downtown Reykjavik — it’s the perfect stop after arriving or just before departing Iceland.

The naturally heated waters of the Blue Lagoon, maintained at a comforting temperature of 98 to 102°F (37 to 39°C), are celebrated for their therapeutic properties, thanks to their blend of silica, algae, and minerals that soften and revitalize the skin.

The Blue Lagoon’s origins date back to the 1980s when excess geothermal water from the Svartsengi Power Plant pooled in the surrounding lava fields. Locals quickly discovered its skin-healing benefits, and today, it is one of the world’s top wellness destinations, combining sustainable energy with luxury experiences and earning recognition as one of the top 25 wonders of the world.

Good to Know Before You Visit

• Pre-booking is required. The Blue Lagoon does not accept walk-ins, and popular time slots often sell out days or weeks in advance — especially in summer and around holidays. Always reserve before you arrive.
• Minimum age is two years old. Children aged 2 to 15 must be accompanied by an adult guardian at all times.
• Protect your hair. The lagoon’s geothermal water is rich in silica, which is harmless but can leave hair feeling stiff. Apply the complimentary conditioner provided in the changing rooms before entering, leave it in while you bathe, and tie long hair up.
• Remove silver and other reactive jewelry before entering, as the mineral-rich water can tarnish it.

Blue Lagoon Ticket Options

You can choose between two Blue Lagoon ticket options, each offering luxurious benefits for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

• The Blue Lagoon Comfort Ticket includes lagoon entry, a towel, a silica mud mask, and a complimentary drink from the in-water bar.

• The Blue Lagoon Premium Ticket includes the benefits of the comfort ticket and adds two extra masks, another drink from the in-water bar, a bathrobe, and a complimentary sparkling wine with a meal if you dine at the renowned Lava Restaurant.

Other Experiences at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland

Beyond the waters, visitors can unwind in saunas and steam rooms, enjoy in-water massages, or simply float while surrounded by volcanic landscapes. In winter, lucky visitors might even relax beneath the northern lights, in the summertime, guests can soak in the lagoon’s soothing waters under the enchanting glow of the midnight sun.
