Our reviews

  • This was one of the highlights of our time in Iceland and by far the most beautiful and relaxing of the three lagoons we visited. Highly recommended as a must-do on your holiday.
  • Absolute favorite part of our whole trip to Iceland. Definitely do the lunch package, get lunch first and then do the lagoon.
  • What an amazing experience from beginning to end! From lunch at the restaurant to the lagoon itself, everything was excellent. Staff was friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. The shower and changing facilities were spotlessly clean. Drinks lagoon-side were great and the entire place is family-friendly without being a madhouse. Definitely recommend!
  • This was absolutely perfect for the price. We went at dark and it was beautiful. The “swim up bar” was great for alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. I would recommend this 100%!
  • Very clean and well designed facility. Very helpful staff. It was a excellent and relaxing experience and would do it again.
