Where milky blue waters, volcanic landscapes, and timeless calm create Iceland’s most iconic spa experience.

In the land of fire and ice, few places feel as ethereal and soothing as the Blue Lagoon. Surrounded by jet-black lava fields and infused with steaming geothermal waters, this world-famous spa offers more than just a warm soak — it’s a full sensory escape into Iceland’s natural magic.

Whether you’re visiting in the glow of summer midnight sun or beneath the shimmer of winter’s Northern Lights, a 2025 Blue Lagoon tour is a must for any traveler looking to unwind, recharge, and marvel at Iceland’s natural beauty.


What is the Blue Lagoon?

Located in Grindavík, just 20 minutes from Keflavík International Airport and about 45 minutes from Reykjavík, the Blue Lagoon is a man-made geothermal spa, fed by mineral-rich waters from a nearby lava field.

  • Water temperature: ~37–40°C (98–104°F) year-round
  • Rich in silica, algae, and minerals, which give the lagoon its sky-blue color and skin-rejuvenating benefits
  • Renowned for its surreal setting and luxury spa facilities

What to Expect on a Blue Lagoon Tour (2025)

Getting There

  • Most tours include pickup from Reykjavík hotels or the airport, making it a perfect arrival or departure-day activity
  • Options include private shuttles, guided group tours, or self-drive entry

Before You Soak

  • Upon arrival, you’ll receive a wristband for locker access, purchases, and towel rental
  • Mandatory shower (with soap) before entering the lagoon — part of Iceland’s bathing culture
  • You’ll find changing rooms, swim-up bars, saunas, and relaxation areas inside
