Product Information

Is Blue Lagoon Iceland worth spending 90 Euro or more? Well, there’s no time limit so, if your itinerary allows, you can spend a full day there and get your money’s worth from the entrance fee. However, if you should drop your phone, consider it toast. Not only must the sulfur-y, silica-y, super-hot water just destroy your phone, but you will never, ever find it down there. The Blue Lagoon’s blue water has the consistency and clarity of milk – you can’t see anything below the surface. The Blue Lagoon is part of the Reykjanes UNESCO Geopark. If you’re driving yourself, getting to the Blue Lagoon is easy. As you travel along the main highway between Keflavík and Reykjavík, make a turn at the“Blue Lagoon” sign. The Blue Lagoon is around 10 km/6.5 miles down this road. On arrival there’s free parking available right outside the reception and gift shop. The point of showering (completely naked) before entering the lagoon is to make sure all your dirty little bits get clean before heading into what is essentially a giant communal tub. The lagoon is huge and the water is hot, but aren’t you glad all the bodies that are in there have been scrubbed clean first? I am! Therefore, I am happy to do my part for the sake of hygiene.

Hear me out: three months before my first trip to Iceland I suffered some nerve damage in my hand due to a freak flying trapeze incident (true story) after which I lost all feeling in my left middle finger down to my palm.Before I went to Iceland the first time, I did a lot of research and everything I read about the Blue Lagoon said that you are required to:

There is a sauna, steam bath and massaging waterfall hewn out of the lava, while strangely translucent turquoise water surrounds everything. It has to be said that the Blue Lagoon experience is quite expensive and it will certainly make a dent in your budget. But I really enjoyed my visit to one of Iceland’s most popular tourist attractions, and it’s undoubtedly a must-do when you’re visiting Reykjavik – an unforgettable experience. Phones, cameras and other electronic devices are not allowed in the Retreat Spa or Retreat Lagoon to preserve the peaceful atmosphere there. Are children allowed in the Blue Lagoon?I’d definitely recommend fitting a visit to the Blue Lagoon into your Iceland itinerary so you can experience it for yourself and let the mineral waters work their geothermal magic on you. Your skin will thank you and you’ll leave feeling relaxed and de-stressed having experienced one of Iceland’s top attractions. First, there actually is a Blue Lagoon in Iceland. And it does indeed have white mud that has curative and skin healing properties. Apparently, when the geothermal sea water cools, it becomes supersaturated with silicon and long chains of silicon molecules are formed that eventually precipitate out of the water and form the white mud. The Blue Lagoon also has a unique algae. Research has shown that bathing in the Blue Lagoon and rubbing the silica mud into lesions has positive effects on psoriasis. The Blue Lagoon in Iceland is still a seriously fun, relaxing, and interesting cultural experience out in a less-populated area of Iceland. “Touristy” or not, it’s absolutely worth visiting the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. So get those haters out of your head already! (My advice for today and always.) A waterproof phone case with a strap is an absolute must if you plan on taking pictures inside the Blue Lagoon. I honestly can’t even imagine how many phones they scrape out of there. (That link is the one I use and I love it.) Let me repeat: I had no feeling in my finger for three months. However, after my three hours in the lagoon, all feeling was immediately restored and has been 100% ever since. So, consider me a believer.
