Discover a unique experience of the healing powers of the geothermal springs. Soak in a natural pool, listen to the bubbling hot spring in the steam rooms, or (for the adventurous), take a dip in the refreshing lake.
Since 1929, locals have been enjoying the healing powers of the natural steam baths by Lake Laugarvatn. Hot, healing steam simmers directly from the ground through grids in the cabin floors of the three traditional steam rooms. The temperature of the steam varies between 40°C (104°F) and 50°C (122°F). Grids in the floor of the steam rooms allow you to hear and smell the boiling natural hot spring right underneath, creating a natural and unique experience.
Next to the steam rooms is Ylur, a Finnish-style sauna. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful lake view through the large window.  Three connected outdoor mineral baths vary in depth, size and temperature.  A hot tub built at a slightly higher level offers a panoramic view of the beautiful surroundings.
Completing the ensemble is the lake itself and the beach. You can walk into the cool lake from a pier or walk on the warm black sand beach. Cold bathing has beneficial health effects.
The café at Laugarvatn Fontana offers a selection of healthy and locally produced delicacies and refreshments, including traditional steam-baked rye bread.

The total length of the tunnel is an impressive 1360 m (4500 ft), the main tunnel being 900 m (3000 ft) long. The tunnel is up to 30 m (98 ft) wide with headroom up to 10 m (32 ft) high, making it one of the most expansive lava tunnels in Iceland.
Our  tour allows you to explore the tunnel in an easy and enjoyable manner. We built a footbridge.  Impressive lighting highlights the changing colors and clearly shows the powerful volcanic activity that formed the tunnel.
Your tour includes a guided caving tour in English, use of a helmet and headlamp. A return bus transfer to the cave can be added at the time of purchase. We do recommend you bring warm clothes and sturdy shoes. There is usually some water dripping from the ceiling, so wearing a water resistant or waterproof jacket/clothes is also a good idea.

Snorkel in Silfra, where the astonishingly clear water reveals a mesmerizing underwater world full of colors you don’t see above the surface. Silfra is a fissure created by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates cutting through Iceland. A natural lava filtering process of the glacial water makes Silfra one of the clearest bodies of water on earth.
After you arrive at Silfra, your guide will give you your dry suit and snorkeling equipment. Your snorkel guide will explain how to use this equipment and how to ensure that you will be warm and comfortable during your 30 to 40-minute snorkeling tour.
During your snorkel you will explore the four main parts of Silfra. You will float through Big Crack, Silfra’s narrowest section where the continental plates are so close you can almost touch them. The fissure then widens into Silfra Hall. Here the full spectrum of Silfra’s colors and clarity become all the more apparent. At this point if you look at just the right angle you can see all the way to Lake Thingvallavatn in the distance. Near to the opening to Thingvellir lake you will enter the deeper waters of Silfra Cathedral. where you’ll feel like you are flying over the boulders and glacial silt. Your snorkel is finished in the endless visibility of Silfra Lagoon.
Make sure to drink some of the Silfra water while you are snorkeling! Who knows when you will be able to drink water so pure again?
Duration of snorkeling tour: 2 hours (30-40 minutes of snorkeling).

Enjoy a natural and historical treasure in the Golden Circle area: the peaceful and mystical Secret Lagoon hot spring pool.
We have kept the Secret Lagoon natural, simple, and unique for you so that you can get the true Icelandic experience. The Secret Lagoon, known locally as Gamla Laugin, is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. Local residents built it in 1891 at Hveraholmi, a geothermal area near Fludir.
What makes the lagoon special is the rich natural resources of warm water coming from the hot springs. Vadmalahver, Basahver, and Litli Geysir (an active geyser which spouts every few minutes for the guests), provide 100% of the water supply in the lagoon.  The pool water flows continuously, and it takes only 24 hours to complete replacement. Warm, clean, and rich in sulfur, the water stays at 38-40°C (100 – 104°F) year-round.
A walking path around the pool lets you safely watch the boiling, gushing springs of water from the hot springs.
The Secret Lagoon has modern changing rooms. A bistro sells snacks, cold sandwiches and drinks. You can also purchase drinks to enjoy in the lagoon itself.

Take a walk in one of Iceland’s most unique gardens: a beautiful collection of stones and minerals that show how Iceland was created. 
Geologically speaking, the East Fjords are one of the oldest areas in Iceland and have the most diverse rock variety. A local East Icelander, Petra Sveinsdottir, created this magnificent exhibit of rocks and minerals over a lifetime. She designed a display in her house and garden. More than 90% of the minerals and semi-precious stones come from the surrounding Stodvarfjordur area.
Petra began building her mineral collection when she and her husband bought their house in 1946. Petra had a special talent when it came to locating a beautiful stone. Local people tell stories about how Petra had the ability to find a magnificent mineral in a place where they just had been walking minutes before. Petra compared mineral collecting to hunting or fishing.
The museum is not only an interesting geological exhibit, it also will give you an insight into the local life of East Iceland through one of the area’s most unique residents.
