Travelbunny tip: If you go through the Lava Restaurant and up the stairs to the right, you’ll come to a large balcony outdoors. The panoramic views over the lagoon are great for photos, especially at sunset or sunrise. This would also be a good spot to watch the Northern Lights if they appear. Can you see the Northern Lights at the Blue Lagoon? I spent around three hours there, including an excellent lunch in the Lava Restaurant. There are several places to eat at the Blue Lagoon, including the Moss Restaurant and the Retreat Spa Restaurant which is a good opportunity to enjoy some excellent Icelandic cuisine. The Blue Lagoon (Bláa lónið in Icelandic) is approximately 13 km from Keflavik International Airport and 39 km from Reykjavík. That’s about a 20-minute drive from the airport and a 45-minute drive from Reykjavík.

It has to be said that the Blue Lagoon experience is quite expensive and it will certainly make a dent in your budget. But I really enjoyed my visit to one of Iceland’s most popular tourist attractions, and it’s undoubtedly a must-do when you’re visiting Reykjavik – an unforgettable experience. Is it “touristy?” Sure, a lot of tourists know about it and probably most of the people who visit are tourists. But, it’s not overcrowded (I don’t think you understand just how huge this place is); it’s not exorbitantly priced; there aren’t people trying to scam you into buying cheap crap; nor will you feel like you’ve been duped after visiting. When you’re in the water the swirling steam envelops you, giving everything an ethereal, dreamlike quality. The people nearby are barely visible in the mists, and their laughter and voices are strangely muted. Sure, Iceland is overflowing with geothermal swimming holes. Sure, the Blue Lagoon is only loosely a naturally-occurring phenomenon. And sure, visiting the Blue Lagoon in Iceland costs more than some other similar spots.

I didn’t think I was going to like the Blue Lagoon. An artificial attraction fed by water from the nearby geothermal power plant doesn’t actually sound that appealing, does it? Children aged 13-years and under are offered free entry when accompanied by a parent or guardian and children aged 8-years and under must wear a float. For more information find out if the Blue Lagoon is suitable for families? Can you drive to the Blue Lagoon, Iceland? Complimentary shower gel and conditioner are provided in the shower area, and you’ll also find complimentary moisturiser in the drying area. Of course, you can bring along your own toiletries if you prefer. Phones, cameras and other electronic devices are not allowed in the Retreat Spa or Retreat Lagoon to preserve the peaceful atmosphere there. Are children allowed in the Blue Lagoon? Hear me out: three months before my first trip to Iceland I suffered some nerve damage in my hand due to a freak flying trapeze incident (true story) after which I lost all feeling in my left middle finger down to my palm.

I also found some research published in Experimental Dermatology that tried to discover what it is about the silica mud and two different microalgae species derived from the Blue Lagoon that makes them good for the skin. The researchers saw that they are capable of inducing gene expression in human epidermal keratinocytes. The algae and silica mud extracts induced collagen and may help with the reduction of transepidermal water loss.. The conclusion was that the bioactives in Blue Lagoon have the capacity to improve "skin barrier function and to prevent premature skin aging". The Blue Lagoon in Iceland is still a seriously fun, relaxing, and interesting cultural experience out in a less-populated area of Iceland. “Touristy” or not, it’s absolutely worth visiting the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. So get those haters out of your head already! (My advice for today and always.) Visiting the Blue Lagoon in Iceland will be a memorable and unique experience you’ll absolutely want to document. Trust me when I say you will want those photos of your friend in her rented bathing suit and your husband in his mud mask.The Blue Lagoon will tell you all about the supposed benefits of the geothermal water to those with all sorts of skin ailments including psoriasis and eczema. However, it’s my belief that the Blue Lagoon cures more than just skin diseases. The Blue Lagoon is part of the Reykjanes UNESCO Geopark. If you’re driving yourself, getting to the Blue Lagoon is easy. As you travel along the main highway between Keflavík and Reykjavík, make a turn at the“Blue Lagoon” sign. The Blue Lagoon is around 10 km/6.5 miles down this road. On arrival there’s free parking available right outside the reception and gift shop.

Let me repeat: I had no feeling in my finger for three months. However, after my three hours in the lagoon, all feeling was immediately restored and has been 100% ever since. So, consider me a believer. Yes! it will seriously affect your hair for a few days. I got mine wet in the lagoon waters and it didn’t calm down until a couple of washes and hot oil treatments later. I’m sure it depends on the metal and the quality of it, but if you have a piece of jewelry you love, I wouldn’t risk wearing it into the lagoon.But, Iceland’s Blue Lagoon is also beautiful and interesting, totally unique, easy to get to, and possibly the best damn time you’ll have this close to the Arctic Circle. When you exit the main building towards the parking lot, on your right will be a series of walking paths that go behind the building, the parking lot, and the lagoon. What you’ll see is a series of overflow areas that make for some great tourist-free photos. If you’re not planning to have a meal, allowing two hours for your Blue Lagoon ritual would be plenty of time for most people. Lava Restaurant, Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon Iceland Silica Mud Mask is pure white, which seemed surprising for a mud mask (although having honeymooned in Iceland I can tell you that mud and minerals come in very weird colors indeed). The mask comes in a tube and the white cream is easy to smooth over the skin. Be warned though, when it dries you will look like Casper and frighten small children. After leaving on for 10 minutes and rinsing off, my skin looked very clear and felt super soft.Of all the Blue Lagoon tips I have to dole out, this one is the most important, obviously. The minerals in the water make it great for your skin but a nightmare for your hair. The Blue Lagoon at night will be less crowded than during the day (though, again, it never feels uncomfortably crowded even then) and with fewer kids in their floaties. So if you’re looking for a truly relaxing experience to just unwind, maybe visiting the Blue Lagoon in Iceland at night is for you. Blue Lagoon and Northern Lights
