Activities: We bathed in waters at 40°C in the middle of lava fields! We went from -2°C to 38°C in 15 seconds. Everything is extremely well organized and supervised. There are individual showers for tourists. There is also a bar serving smoothies and other drinks, and massages are available. Buses run to the Blue Lagoon every hour

Highlights: It was amazing to bathe in the steam! It was a total change of scenery. We went to the Blue Lagoon a few minutes after getting off the plane! It was magical to experience the heat after the cold of the outside air, and the children were thrilled ✨

This family's experience:

Activities: On our last day in Iceland we visited the Blue Lagoon to the south west of Reykjavik. We opted for the basic ‘comfort’ package which included a free drink and facial mask. Towels were provided. Adult tickets cost £75 and children were free. It’s a surreal experience really, getting into a hot milky blue bath with lots of strangers, but it was also relaxing and we enjoyed it a lot

Highlights: The kids enjoyed the hot milky blue bath and the free drink and facial mask. We all found it a surreal but relaxing experience ✨
