Blue Lagoon
Tours
executive summary by darmansjah
A
trip to Iceland would not be complete without an afternoon of relaxation and
rejuvenation in the distinctive milky blue waters of the Blue Lagoon.
Surrounded by black lava fields, these mineral-rich waters average at a
comfortable 37°C and offer many therapeutic benefits.
At
Local Iceland Tours we have selected a range of Blue Lagoon Tours to ensure you
don’t miss out on this unique experience. Combine your visit to the Blue Lagoon
with other activities or sightseeing yours; take advantage of our direct
shuttle service from your hotel to the Lagoon; or stop by before your flight
with service that will take you straight from the Lagoon to the airport.
The Blue Lagoon is a unique
wonder of Iceland, a result of all that volcanic activity the small island is
so famous for. In the middle of the weird and wonderful, flat black lava fields
of the Svartsengi National Park, the
huge, outdoor lagoon is filled by naturally heated geothermal water which comes
from 6,500 feet (2,000 meters) below the surface of the earth. It is full of
minerals, silica and algae and is especially good for the skin and relaxation.
In fact, part of the Blue Lagoon development is a health clinic specializing in
cures for psoriasis. The water is almost startlingly blue in color, and the
white of the silica on the black lava rocks around the edges makes an amazing
contrast.
As well as soaking and swimming in the pool, the Blue Lagoon offers in-water
massage treatments, saunas and steam rooms, and a cafe. On any visit to Iceland
a few hours soaking in The Blue Lagoon is essential, and its location between
Reykjavik and the airport makes it easy to do.
Practical Info: The
Blue Lagoon is just off the one main road which links the city of Reykjavik and
the airport. From the main bus terminal, regular buses go to the lagoon and
back daily. The airport bus makes regular stops at the lagoon making the lagoon
the perfect first or last stop on your itinerary. From the city to the lagoon
takes about 40 minutes, from the lagoon to the airport takes about 20.
