Amazing experience at this spa haven! We got the comfort package which included a towel, silica mud mask & a drink (can also get a smoothie) we loved our time here. We stayed for 4 hours & grabbed lunch at the cafe afterwards. The entire set up (entry, showers, exit) is very well organised and efficient. The sauna & steam bath are a great addition to the pool. Everyone is relaxing and slowly moving around the place. It’s so unique. The staff tell you to put plenty of their conditioner in your hair before entering the pool as the water can dry it out. These are available in the shower anyway. I really loved my time here, and would definitely recommend !!

After visiting the Blue Lagoon, Sky Lagoon, and Secret Lagoon, I left feeling that the Blue Lagoon simply didn’t justify its high price tag. While it’s the most famous of the three, it ended up being my least favorite—and not for lack of comparison. To start, both the Sky Lagoon and Secret Lagoon were significantly more affordable, yet offered nearly the same level of amenities. All three locations provided free showers, changing rooms, and lockers, and both the Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon included free towels, with the Secret Lagoon being the only one that didn’t. What surprised me most was that the water at the Blue Lagoon wasn’t as hot as at the other two sites, which made the experience feel less relaxing despite the higher cost. The iconic blue water is really the only unique feature of the Blue Lagoon, but even that came with a downside: the milky color made it hard to see underwater, so I kept bumping my legs against the seats because they were nearly invisible. In contrast, the Secret Lagoon’s natural hot spring setting, with its large black pebbles, felt soothing underfoot, and I actually preferred that to the smooth rock bottoms of both the Sky Lagoon and Blue Lagoon. As for amenities, the Sky Lagoon easily outshone the Blue Lagoon. Both offered saunas and steam rooms, but the Sky Lagoon’s infinity pool and the included seven-step ritual made the experience feel far more special and immersive. At the Blue Lagoon, all you get is a single silica mask included in the basic admission, which felt underwhelming given the price. The only feature that stood out at the Blue Lagoon was the bathing suit–drying machine—convenient, yes, but certainly not worth the extra cost on its own. Accessibility was another major drawback. The Blue Lagoon required a long walk to reach the actual pool area, which isn’t ideal for anyone with mobility issues. In comparison, both the Sky Lagoon and Secret Lagoon were located just a short, easy walk from their entrances—within about 20 feet. While all three lagoons had seating in the water and offered basic toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, and soap, the overall value just wasn’t there for the Blue Lagoon. In the end, its fame and blue water felt like its only real distinguishing features, and for the price, I expected a lot more.

A must visit , think of as the worlds largest hot tub also the most expensive It’s A must do once but for $120 for a basic entry I won’t go again , it’s a shame they gouge tourist so much to visit here. We stayed about two hours so it was pretty expensive , it’s also a 35 bus ride from the airport, their app is not user friendly , I ended up buying 3 passes when I only needed 2, I called , no answer , asked tge driver for a refund , no luck, emailed them , no response so I lost another 35 dollars It’s also another $30 to get a ride from there to Reykjavík So if going there from the airport , and then to the hotel and buy say one snack while there , you are at over $200 per person
