3 expert tips

Original curator notes · check current details.

  1. Book as soon as you finalize your itinerary because the Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland's most popular attractions, and it often sells out, especially during peak tourist seasons.

  2. Blue Lagoon can get crowded, so for a more peaceful experience consider visiting early in the morning or later in the evening. We enjoyed it during beautiful sunset hours with just a few people still around.

  3. Free silica mud masks are available from multiple booths right in the lagoon. Apply the mask while relaxing in the water and rinse it off after a few minutes for smooth, refreshed skin.
