Description

Embark on a captivating journey to the Hvammsvik Hot Springs, easily accessible thanks to the included bus ride from Reykjavik. Travelers eager to immerse themselves in natural geothermal waters and explore a beautiful nature reserve will love this relaxing and convenient tour.

The excursion begins with a 45-minute transfer from Reykjavik. You can organize collection from your hotel or meet at the BSI Bus Terminal in central Reykjavik. Hop aboard the bus and arrive at the Hvammsvik Hot Springs, a 1200-acre (approximately 485-hectare) private estate with spectacular ocean views.

Upon arrival, you'll find the strategically placed hot springs along the ocean's edge, offering a unique experience shaped by the tides. Recharge and unwind in eight natural hot springs, all with varying temperatures. You can also make use of a steam cave and outdoor relaxation areas.

The facilities seamlessly blend modern comfort with a nod to Hvammsvik's 12th-century history, creating a distinctive atmosphere. There are outdoor changing facilities and showers, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature while enjoying the luxury of excellent amenities.

The water in these natural hot pools combines geothermal water from a source almost 5,000 feet (about 1,400 meters) underground with seawater from the Atlantic. The two form a perfect blend, creating pools with the ideal temperature for bathing and relaxing. 

You'll also have direct access to the cold waters of the Hvalfjordur fjord. If you feel brave enough, you can go for a refreshing fjord swim before warming up in the hot pools.

After a rejuvenating bath, you can indulge in local flavors at the onsite restaurant, featuring light dishes inspired by the surroundings. Savor the seafood soup or try something new, such as the algae and ginger shot. The dining room offers panoramic views of the landscape outside, enhancing your dining experience.

Visitors are also free to explore the whole estate, with access to unfiltered Icelandic nature. Over 30 bird species live in the area, along with wild sheep and the occasional Arctic fox. Keep an eye out for the mystical elves said to inhabit the rocks and hills of this nature haven.

The tour includes your entrance ticket to the hot springs, all taxes, and transportation to and from the hot springs. If needed, you can rent a swimsuit, towel, and wading shoes at the Hvammsvik spa.

Take advantage of this opportunity to relax in gorgeous ocean-side geothermal pools with this Hvammsvik Hot Springs tour from Reykjavik. Check availability now by choosing a date.
