Great experience
Great insight into the geography of iceland, from craters, geysers to fissures and then you have the blue lagoon. All the stops were amazing, we were lucky with the weather which can make a big difference to experience. Great guide/driver, full of interesting knowledge.

People Also Ask
Q:What month is best to go to the Blue Lagoon?
A:
The best time to visit the Blue Lagoon, Iceland is in the evening. If you visit during the summer, you can enjoy the midnight sun while soaking—it stays open later in summer. Winter also offers the chance to see the northern lights while staying warm in the water.
Q:How long should you spend at the Blue Lagoon?
A:
A typical Blue Lagoon tour lasts from two to three hours. However, you can easily spend longer if you want to take full advantage of all the available facilities. There is no time limit—your admission ticket to the geothermal spa allows you to spend the whole day there—but you must leave the water 30 minutes before closing.
Q:Can you go to the Blue Lagoon without booking?
A:
Yes, you can go to the Blue Lagoon without booking, but it's highly risky. The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland's most-visited attractions and is often fully booked throughout the year. It is a good idea to reserve your desired date and time as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
Q:Is the Blue Lagoon Worth it?
A:
Yes, the Blue Lagoon is worth it. However, it is almost always crowded and expensive; some consider it a tourist trap. You shouldn't miss the Blue Lagoon, but you also shouldn't miss visiting some of Iceland's other quieter hot springs.
Q:Is the Blue Lagoon open year round?
A:
Yes, the pool was formed in 1976 by a geothermal power plant and the runoff feeds the Blue Lagoon all year round—and it is a great place to visit any time of year. Opening hours vary throughout the year, however. During summer, it stays open until the wee hours, so check the schedule on the Blue Lagoon's website when planning your visit.
Q:Is the Blue Lagoon better at night or day?
A:
Night offers a more peaceful atmosphere at the Blue Lagoon, and a nighttime visit is a great way to unwind after a day spent sightseeing around Iceland. However, some facilities and services may not be available after dark. As the Blue Lagoon is usually fully booked, there is no significant difference in crowd size from day to night.
