Blue Lagoon

This is my last Iceland post. However, I think it is one that may be the most useful since it is on a popular Iceland destination – The Blue Lagoon. The main piece of advice I can give you about visiting the Blue Lagoon is to book EARLY! This place fills up fast.

I went both in November and february and both times I had to go either very late or very early. When I went in february (7am slot) this worked out good because I went before I went to the airport. I booked to include airport transfer because I didn’t have a car and it was very convenient. They picked me up from City Hall and dropped me at Blue Lagoon. Then once I was ready to go to the airport they picked me up and dropped me at the airport.

When I went in february we had a car so we drove ourselves. That was pretty scary since the roads were so bad from the weather. Most of the times were booked so we had to choose a 9pm slot. Both times I have been in the dark!

Another thing to prepare for is the price. The Blue Lagoon is very expensive. I believe the prices just went up as of March 1st. There are different packages you can book. I have done the basic one and the step up from it. I would recommend either. The nice thing about the package above basic is that it includes a towel, an extra face mask and a drink!

They give you instructions when you arrive but you have to remove anything you don’t want to fall off (jewelry). They provide you with a wrist band and that is how to pay for everything. Lastly, they recommend you coat your hair in conditioner when showering before you enter because the water will dry it out. After that you are ready to go!

I didn’t realize the first time I visited that you could enter the water from the inside so I made the painful dash outside into the lagoon. Make sure to check out the waterfall and sauna while you are there.

Enjoy yourself!

Lots of Love,
