The Blue Lagoon has a luggage facility near the entrance where you can safely store luggage for a small fee.

The Blue Lagoon is a unique natural pool of mineral rich geothermal water is in the middle of a lava field surrounded by the beautiful Icelandic wilderness. The Blue Lagoon is known for its special properties and beneficial effects on the skin. Enjoy the facilities such as the Lagoon, sauna and steam room and a massage waterfall.

You can stay in the Lagoon as long as you like and take one of the scheduled buses to your hotel in Reykjavik.  Your package includes one entrance to the property’s spa, which you can use anytime during your stay.

Overnight in Reykjavik

Travel Tip:  If your flight to Iceland doesn’t match with the departure times for the airport transfer to the Blue Lagoon, we suggest that you  visit the Blue Lagoon as part of your transfer back to the airport on your departure day.    You would then transfer on your own to your hotel in Reykjavik.   We would be very happy to assist you with booking a transfer, if needed.

Hraunfossar Waterfalls – Barnafoss waterfalls- Deildartunguhver Hot Spring – Reykholt

Breakfast at your hotel. Combine history, natural spring water and relaxation on a small group tour. Visit the West of Iceland and get the essential Icelandic experience by visiting places that are not only beautiful but also have historical importance.  The Borgarfjordur region is not well known to visitors, but it is an area Icelanders from Reykjavik love to visit on getaways.

The day starts with a visit to Reykholt, one Iceland’s most notable historical sites. Reykholt is most famous for being the home of Iceland’s best-known author Snorri Sturluson during the years 1206-1241. An ancient geothermally-heated pool, Snorralaug, is named after him.  It is one of the few things preserved whole from Iceland´s medieval period.  Thanks to Snorri’s writings we know about the mythology and religion of the Viking people.

Then head on to Hraunfossar waterfalls, or Lava Falls – a beautiful and unusual natural phenomena. Clear, cold springs of subterranean water seep through the lava and ripple down as tiny waterfalls and rapids into the Hvita River. A series of scenic footpaths takes you to different viewpoints around the waterfalls.  Also in the area is Barnafoss, the Children’s Falls.  The water here is a brilliantly blue color.  The falls are named after a sad incident that took place here long ago.

Next head to Deildartunguhver hot spring, Europe´s most powerful hot spring. The water rushes by rapidly at a speed of 180 liters (48 gallons) per second.   Right next to Deildartunguhver is Krauma Geothermal Baths. The spa’s hot water comes from  Deildartunguhver, at a temperature of 100°C (212°F). To achieve the perfect bathing temperature Krauma mixes the hot water with cold water  from Ok glacier, the smallest glacier in Iceland. Krauma offers five relaxing natural geothermal baths, a cold tub to get your blood circulation going, two calming saunas and a relaxation room where you can rest by the fireplace while listening to soothing music.  Krauma’s restaurant has a real West Icelandic focus with vegetables, dairy products and meat from area farms.

After your relaxing day, you will Return to Reykjavik in the early evening.

Breakfast at your hotel. If you were not able to visit the Blue Lagoon on your arrival day, then you would use your transfer and stop at the Blue Lagoon on the way to Keflavik Airport.

Otherwise, you would transfer on your own to the airport.  This transfer is not included in the package, but we would be happy to book a transfer for you, if you wish.

If your flight is in the afternoon, use your last moments enjoying the spa located right in your hotel or walk along the harbor seafront and breathe the fresh Atlantic breeze.

Please note that we recommend that you depart no later than three hours before your flight.
