The serene blue waters provide a stark contrast to the surrounding black volcanic rocks. Availability is limited for this one-of-a-kind experience, so be sure to purchase entrance tickets prior to your trip.
Reykholar SeaBaths
Reykholar SeaBaths features a unique geothermal experience: algae baths. Health benefits come along with relaxing in the waters. Feel at one with nature and hike on the nearby walking trails, full of local birdlife.

The temperature of the steam differs based on time of year. The spa sits at the shores of Lake Laugarvatn, offering a perfect view while relaxing in the pool.
Secret Lagoon
The small town of Fludir is home to one of the oldest pools in Iceland, now the Secret Lagoon. A small geyser erupts every few minutes and can be seen from the natural hot springs. During the winter, guests can view the Northern Lights from the waters.
