Are the hot springs safe to bathe in?

Yes, the hot springs in Iceland are generally safe to bathe in, and their water quality is closely monitored. However, it's essential to follow safety guidelines provided by your tour guide and use caution, especially in more remote or undeveloped hot spring areas.

How do natural hot springs in Iceland form?

Iceland is divided by the Mid-Atlantic Rift, and the constant movement of the Eurasian and North-American continental plates generates the country's intense volcanic activity. This geological feature, combined with an unparalleled water supply, causes Iceland to be dotted with natural hot springs which form when volcanically heated groundwater rises from the earth’s crust.

Is bathing in a hot spring in Iceland good for you?

Bathing in a natural hot spring may have health benefits for some people because of the water's high mineral content.

Can I rent a bathing suit on a hot spring tour in Iceland?

That depends on your operator. Please message your tour planner for further information.

Do I need to bring my own towel to a hot spring tour in Iceland?

Yes, most hot springs are out in nature where there are no facilities. Please remember to collect all your garbage and personal items before you leave since no one will be around to clean the area after you're gone.

How do I find the hot springs on my own?

Read up on their locations in advance, make notes on how to get there and ask the locals.

Are the hot springs in Iceland dangerous?

Many hot springs in Iceland have temperatures exceeding 100°F (40°C) and are far too dangerous to bathe in. However, the hot springs visited on our tours are safe to bathe in. Make sure to adhere to all safety precautions and protocols.

How do I proceed if I want to bathe in a hot spring that is situated on private land?

You must ask permission from the landowners and respect their wishes. Do not trespass if you can't contact them. Remember that Iceland’s yearly flow of foreign guests outnumbers the country's permanent residents many times over; trespassing is disrespectful and can cause damage to untouched natural landscapes.
