We booked the Secret Lagoon after having our Blue Lagoon cancelled. This is on the Golden Circle and the drive was worth it. The lagoon is so natural and the oldest lagoon. We had a lovely two hours. Changing rooms were spacious. Served drinks and snacks. I would recommended this lovely place.

Fabulous, authentic hot spa pool in a really convenient location if you’re visiting the Golden Circle. Clean, tidy changing rooms. Can hire towels and even swimming costumes! Beware that the edges are very hot! I could have stayed in for hours!

Secret Lagoon was the perfect way to relax after we self-toured the Golden Circle. We did not have tickets in advance and were able to walk up and purchase them around 2:30pm on a Monday in November. No fuss, perfectly clean and complete facilities. Bring a towel if you have it or you can rent one. The pool itself is a heavenly temperature on a cold day (about freezing). There is smooth gravel under your feet and the occasional spout of a small geyser feeding the warmth of the water. Backlit by local greenhouses, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Iceland as you wind down your day.

This location is very well organized for the seekers of a warm relaxing hot spring experience. There is a short safety video played to visitors upon arrival. The changing rooms are well organized and clean, you can get a locker and store your clothes and valuables before showering and getting into the pool. There is a small sitting area and a cafeteria area where you can get alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages that you can bring into the lagoon. The experience is so relaxing, just enjoy the space, the natural surroundings, and a nice drink of your choice. Visit highly recommended.

I am so pleased that we decided to take a trip out to the Secret Lagoon. It was a brilliant experience. We arrived at around 3.30pm and it didn't feel like it was overly packed with people. The water was lovely and warm, almost too warm in some spots! I especially loved that the floor of the pool was a lovely soft gravel. You can buy beers, wine and soft drinks to enjoy whilst you're in there and there is somewhere to have a light bite as well. The changing facilities were really clean and they had extra touches such as a swimming costume dryer, body wash & Shampoo in the showers, hair dryers and plastic bags to pack your wet stuff in for the journey home. You can also pay a bit extra at reception and they will waterproof your phone so that you can take it in the pool with you. It was one of my favourite experiences in Iceland and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a smaller and more intimate experience of the natural hotsprings that Iceland has to offer.

It was a lovely experience. The hot springs were amazing..it was all very well organised and good value. It's a bit of a trek to get there independently if you haven't hired a car, but we got a guide to bring us from Reykjavik It was well worth it.

There is no secret that geothermal swimming pools can be found throughout the country of Iceland. However, I had no idea how important both geothermal and regular pools are to the Icelandic people. I quickly learned during my visit and the rules of visiting by venturing out to the Secret Lagoon. The Secret Lagoon is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland and was established in 1891. It is said that it was used through 1937 but then abandoned for approximately 60 years. However, today this geothermal pool has been restored and now it is open to visitors. We visited the Secret Lagoon with Hidden Iceland on The Golden Circle Tour so the cost was included. However, if you rent a car and make the drive yourself the cost is 3600 ISK (roughly $26.00 US dollars) and children are free of charge. Swim attire must be worn and remember to bring a towel. This might seem strange to U.S. travelers however, a shower without clothing is required prior to entering the lagoon. For those who are squeamish about public showering (all females and males have their own showrooms). this may not be an adventure for you. Showers are communal. This concept is very common in Europe so no one is going to pay attention to you so no worries. It is just nice to be prepared as a visitor. The Secret Lagoon has the ability to calm all your stress with its warm water. Definitely a moment for relaxation. In addition, the surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous. You can take a walk along the boardwalk and watch in splendor at the work of Mother Nature. There is also Litli Geysir which erupts and can be seen from the pool. You will also find a small cafe which services drinks and small treats. Secret Lagoon is indeed a delightful places just like all of Iceland. Take a moment to relax and take in the natural beauty of Iceland as you visit the Secret Lagoon.

This was part of the Golden Circle tour with Arctic Atlantic. It was welcomed ending to a day of blistering cold weather. It's less crowded, more intimate and calming than some of the others. Don't forget to jump out of the springs, walk around the path to cool off before going back into the springs again.

Went here after touring around the golden circle. Lovely way to end the day in a relaxing outdoor thermal pool. Beware though that they say you have to shower naked prior to entering the pool area. Shower area is not private but is at least split for male and female. I almost didn't go because of the reviews warning this but would have been a shame not to experience for this reason.

High praise to Secret Lagoon for honouring our pre-booking that we missed, due to snowstorms. We arrived two days late and it was not a problem, and we were served with a smile. As we turned up at opening time, we had the pace to ourselves for 30 minutes, but even when groups arrived it felt calm. Very nice changing rooms and atmosphere in the cafe. And the mini "geysir' is a bonus too.
