About Bláa lónið
Bláa lónið, known as the Blue Lagoon, is a geothermal bathing area on the Reykjanes peninsula. The light-blue-looking water contrasts with the dark lava field. The site is organized for visits, with controlled access and dedicated services.
The lagoon is linked to the utilization of geothermal water and should not be confused with an isolated lake formed solely by natural processes. The silica present in the water contributes to its appearance. Bath visits are organized differently from simply observing steam fields and springs on the peninsula.
Book in advance on the official website and check the expected access for the date. The proximity of the airport allows combining the experience with a stop in Keflavík, provided there is enough time between the flight, arrival and transfer. Do not rely on the minimum connection time to take the bath.
