Blue Lagoon Tour Selection Trips
- The number of guests allowed into the Blue Lagoon is limited per hour, so all of tickets to the Lagoon must be pre-booked. If you are on a larger tour of Iceland, your tour guide will likely do this for you, but be aware -- especially if you are visiting in the summer, these tickets can sell out months in advance.
- If you decide to book a “standard” ticket to the Blue Lagoon, don’t worry, you can bring your own robe, towel, and flip flops.
- Because the Lagoon is only 20 minutes from the airport, so many tours will include your trip to the Lagoon on your way to or from your flight. It’s a great way to unwind before a potentially long and uncomfortable plane ride.
- If you want to take photos on your phone in the lagoon, bring a small plastic bag or a waterproof case.
Additional details
Blue Lagoon Temperatures & Weather
The water inside the Lagoon is usually between 98-104 degrees Fahrenheit, even in the winter, though it can fluctuate depending on the weather and the time of the year.
Outside of the lagoon, the area’s temperature is much the same as Reykjavik’s. This means that temperatures during the heart of the summer only reach around 55 degrees Fahrenheit on average. However, this doesn’t matter -- you will be nice and warm inside the Lagoon, the spa, and all of the attached buildings! There is also a low chance of rain year round.
What to Wear & Bring
If you don’t invest in one of the high end and premium packages, you will need to bring a few items along with you. For starters, you will need a towel. You may also prefer to bring a robe, sandals or flip flops, and moisturizer for after your soak. If you choose to get your hair wet, the Lagoon offers plenty of leave-in conditioner in its changing rooms, although you still may prefer to bring your own bag.
Blue Lagoon Tours
On your tour of Iceland, you will likely visit the Blue Lagoon. With that being said, one major point of confusion amongst tourists is that the Lagoon is in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, though that is not the trip. The Lagoon is about a 45 minute drive outside of the city, though your tour will likely provide transportation to and from this location.
If you are on a guided tour of the spa, you can expect to be given plenty of free time to enjoy the lagoon at your own pace. However, the lagoon is also a popular place for many guides to delve into Iceland’s ingenious use of and reliance on thermal and reusable energies. The depth of this explanation may vary, though if you are really interested in clean energy, consider going on an eco tour of Iceland.
