Why you’ll love it

Milky blue water, black lava, snow in your hair. A GoSmart specialist tailors the route, the stays, and the pace to you.

Why it works

You lower into water that stays a milky, steaming blue against a black lava field, drift to the swim-up bar, and smear the free silica mud mask on your face while snow sometimes falls around you.

Worth knowing

You must book a time slot in advance. The Blue Lagoon does not sell walk-up tickets, and popular times sell out days ahead, so lock in your entry before anything else on the trip.
The mineral water wrecks hair. Slather on conditioner and leave it in before you get in, and tie long hair up, or it will feel like straw for days.
It is about 20 minutes from Keflavik airport and 45 from Reykjavik, which makes it the perfect first or last stop of an Iceland trip, robe on straight off the plane.

About the place

The Blue Lagoon sits in one of Iceland's active volcanic regions, so it is worth checking for any temporary closures before your trip. It is a designed geothermal spa rather than a wild hot spring you stumble upon.
