“If you're thinking about booking this tour, do it. You won't regret it. My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience. This was the most fun I've had in awhile. Our guide, Sir Cactus, was fantastic.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $453.53

Private Blue Lagoon round-trip from Reykjavik or Keflavik, with flight tracking and 3 hours driver wait, so you soak without stress.

“This pickup had a late start due to some miscommunication prior to us getting off the ship, but Matthew was an excellent driver and quite easy-going. The big vehicle was comfortable and a smooth ride. We were 4 with 2 bags per person and there was plenty of room, even with 3 of the 4 being 6' and taller. The comfort Blue Lagoon entrance ticket was enough for our needs, but I wish we had the robe and/or brought an extra towel as BL only provides 1.

“My family and I traveled to Iceland in March 2025 specifically to see the Northern Lights. We booked a trip with Otto our first night there so we had time to still look if he couldn't find them. There was no need. Otto was simply amazing and found the most spectacular Northern Lights I could have ever imagined. He also was able to provide guidance on the best way to photo them. His English is superb and he customized the tour however we wanted.”
