I enjoyed my time at the Blue Lagoon. Being the kind of girl who loves extreme heat, I thought the water wouldn’t be hot enough for me, but it turns out that there is a super-hot section just for cold-blooded ones like myself! You can see it in the above picture — it’s where the steam is coming out.
In late May, temperatures were in the mid-40s (about 10 C), which made the pool nice and toasty, and not so cold that walking was like Scandinavian torture. It felt just fine.
The Blue Lagoon has a sauna and steam room, as well as an exclusive section. You can get a variety of spa treatments, including a massage on a float right in the Blue Lagoon! There are cocktails at the swim-up bar, but I opted for a smoothie instead, which I conveniently paid for with my wristband. (The wristbands are brilliant — you put all your purchases on them. This also prevents people from buying more than three alcoholic drinks.)
