Emma – United Kingdom

This is a nice experience, a dip in a hot pool was much needed after a full day exploring. Felt very local, you could see the local families who bought their children for a swim. Nice changing facilities. We spent about 45mins there, as its just the one pool area.

Chirag – United Kingdom

Amazing experience!! Highly recommended. Pool and the showering area was clean and tidy! There were cold pools in case someone was in the mood! Staff was friendly. Don’t miss, worth the price.

Full description

Originally built in 1891, the ‘Gamla Laugin’ is Iceland’s first swimming pool. Spend time in this relaxing setting feeling your worries slip away. A natural hot spring feeds the lagoon with 38-39°C water that bubbles up from deep within the earth at a rate of 10 litres per second, constantly replenishing itself so that there is a steady supply of fresh clean water in the pool at any given time, letting you rest as long as you need.

Enjoy brand new facilities at the Secret Lagoon including changing rooms, showers, resting rooms, bar and restaurant area. Situated in a remote location in Fluðir, the Secret Lagoon is just an hour away from Geysir, 1 hour and 20 minutes from Reykjavik and 2 hours from Vik making it a great desination on your trip to Iceland.

Myself, my wife and 2 boys loved our visit to the Secret Lagoon. Our 4pm booking was perfect after a long day exploring the Golden Circle. The facilities are very nice, all staff very friendly and much quieter than the other lagoons available. For me, the Secret Lagoon comes highly recommended and is a must visit on your Golden Circle tour.
