Things to do in Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa in Iceland, located in a lava field near Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula, in a location favourable for geothermal power. Situated just 20 minutes by car from Keflavík International Airport and 50 minutes from Reykjavík, the Blue Lagoon is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland, drawing people from all over the world.
The lagoon is supplied by water used in the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power station. The water’s iconic colour is a result of the way that silica reflects sunlight, with the properties of the water being 70% ocean water and 30% freshwater. The water temperature of the bathing and swimming area averages 37-39 degrees Celsius making it the perfect trip to enjoy at any time of the year, regardless of the season.
The Blue Lagoon is considered to have regenerative qualities due to the water’s rich silica and sulphur content. Silica mud is available for free on the sides of the pool for guests to enjoy as a face mask.
A must-see for anyone visiting Iceland, the lagoon is surrounded by beautiful volcanic scenery with the vivid blue water providing an amazing contrast to its surroundings. Rising steam from the warm water adds to the spa’s fantastic ambience. At the lagoon you will also find a restaurant, café and the Lagoon Spa, making it the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing day out!

Reviews Blue Lagoon
“Lagoon was virtually pitch black as it was so windy you literally couldn't see in front of your face . Pretty disorienting Water was lovely and warm but the visual aspect ( which I guess kind of sells it ) wasn't there.”
“Blue Lagoon is great. Not given a full two hours in the pool. As you have to get back to the coach and you need time to wash and dress. Also no Tui Rep present on coach and at spa. Coach arrived 18 minutes past our pick up time. Tried to contact Tui, but you took 5 hours to reply on your APP. Need more time at this lovely resort, so you can take advantage of Sauna, Hot Rooms and all other facilities. Felt very rushed. Did not get our monies worth!”
“The bus failed to pick us up so after alot of phone calls by the hotel receptionist and 30 mins wait to get through to the bus company one finally arrived to take us to the pick up point. She even rang the blue lagoon to explain what happened and pushed our arrival time back for us. After that the experience was amazing.”
“I would like to suggest that you increase the time that is allowed for HOLIDAY makers to have the experience. We were collected late and therefore arrived late at the lagoon. I understand that our time there was extended but, the rush from getting out of the lagoon to get on to the coach was utterly unacceptable and completely ruined what was meant to be a relaxing experience. Sadly, as brilliant as the coach driver was, it felt like rushed school trip. I not recommend anyone to book with TUi”
