The famous geothermal seawater spa in Iceland is the Blue Lagoon where tourists indulge
themselves to reanimate both body and soul after a long travel to Iceland. It is the most sought-after holiday spot in Iceland because of its restorative effect and it's perfect for those who travel half-way around the world just to get to Iceland. Even locals can't seem to get enough of the lagoon. In fact, you'll see a good number of them during peak and off season enjoying the lagoon along with tourists.
What makes the Blue Lagoon interesting aside from the fact that it has relaxing and invigorating effect is its color which is fluorescent blue. The color intensity varies depending on the season and it always fascinates people how the color adjusts its intensity. Don't be fooled by its appearance as it seems to look cool but in reality it's hot. Average water temperature is 60 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
Visiting the Blue Lagoon is always on the top priority list of tourists. Missing the Blue Lagoon in Iceland is equivalent to missing the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy or the Great Wall of China in Shanhaiguan. There are many Blue Lagoon tours available and admission tickets are considerably cheap. An adult admission ticket is 1400 Icelandic kroner, that's about US$12. Children admission ticket is half the price of an adult ticket. There are bathing wardrobe rental shops nearby so you can get dressed up and ready.
The lagoon is a vast body of water so you can easily swim your way to a specific spot and enjoy privacy. Surrounding the lagoon are lava rocks and steam to complete the soothing ambiance. Tourists are also informed of an estimate time duration staying in the waters. Overstaying would ultimately result to exhaustion instead of relaxation.
The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to provide tourists with the necessary swimming and bathing wardrobes. Other amenities include a swimming pool and a restaurant with the highest quality of food. Iceland is known to be very strict in monitoring food quality so expect nothing but the best cut of meat and freshest seafood on your plate. Iceland also has some lava caves with natural steam that you can try.
Iceland is just three hours flight from London and you can choose from two major Icelandic airlines that offer transport to this amazing country. Sea transport through ferry is also possible.
