Sky Lagoon

O experiență uimitoare!!! Am fost cu familia, doi adolescenți, fetele mele au adorat-o!! Mulțumim pentru oferta bună!!

We were picked up on time, but the local bus driver was quite casual and might change your drop-off location based on traffic conditions. On that day, instead of being taken directly back to the bus terminal to transfer to the shuttle to the hotel, the driver suddenly announced along the way that it was too late to go to the terminal and canceled the trip there. Everyone was dropped off at a bus stop in the city center that the driver deemed convenient for returning to the hotel (though it was still a 20-minute journey from our hotel). Only after we asked did he drop us off at another closer bus stop (which was still a seven-minute walk back to the hotel). Although this saved the time of transferring and waiting at the terminal, the actual experience felt like we almost paid to be abandoned halfway (especially since you didn't even know where you were). It felt like their transportation service is handled quite casually.

It's quite similar to a public bath. The shower stalls only have body wash, so remember to bring your own towel, shampoo, etc. The hairdryer is even more frustrating than a Tasin brand one; it's a wall-mounted, sensor-activated hood, but it looks more like a hand dryer. It's too high, so you have to bend over, or too low, so you have to stand on your tiptoes... I recommend bringing your own. There's only one hot spring about the size of a 50-meter pool, and then about five steps away, there are hot tubs, which looked small (I didn't specifically walk over to them). I decided to go after reading a blog, but both I and my companion felt it was just okay and could be skipped. The target audience (TA) is local families. On a side note, here are all the hot springs I visited this time: 1. Sky Lagoon: The seven-step ritual really impressed one of my friends, who said their scrub was better than anything from Sabon. However, I didn't like that you could only experience each step once, including the steam room. The TA is influencers and young people. 2. Forest Lagoon: It's a 10-minute drive from Akureyri city center, with many tour buses nearby (possibly due to its proximity to the port). But this was my absolute favorite! They provide shampoo, body wash, conditioner, and body lotion, and they're all excellent! The hot spring is long and narrow, nestled between the forest and snow-capped mountains—a truly enjoyable experience in life, and great for photos. Remember to order a photogenic drink and take a picture with the snowy mountains. If I were to visit Iceland again, I would definitely go here. The TA seems to be tour groups and some young people. 3. Blue Lagoon: The water is truly blue, but as you approach, it feels like you're entering an industrial area. Don't doubt it, just keep going. Also, Google Maps for the Blue Lagoon will lead you to the hotel's parking lot, so as you get close, you might need to follow the signs. The steam room, which is half-submerged in water, is incredibly comfortable. The dry, high-temperature room offers a beautiful view of the Blue Lagoon. You can float on your back in the water, but remember not to drink it because it's very salty! Remember to bring some food, otherwise, sushi costs 800 and barely has any meat (I was so hungry after soaking, haha). The TA is young tourists. Myvatn Nature Baths were under renovation, so I didn't experience them and have no opinion. The Beer Spa has also closed down, and its website is gone. End of review.

Petur was amazing! he shared a good history and stories/ saga of Iceland

We enjoyed the fullday Golden Circle Tour on Oct 16 at 10am! The weather wasn’t very sunny but it was still good enough to enjoy most of the sights! The tour felt quite rushed tho. Some stops had around 30 mins which felt insufficient if you wanted to take photos, enjoy the scenery & truly appreciate the place without constantly worrying about being late. It sometimes felt like we had to rush back to the bus. would have loved a little more time at each stop. Our favorite was the Geysir! We waited for the geyser to erupt several times just to capture the perfect photo & it was absolutely worth it. special mention to our guide MARGERIT, who was incredibly knowledgeable and told stories so vividly that I could almost picture things she described. Some of her stories genuinely inspired me to dream about returning to Iceland. That made the experience special! ✨ Overall, a great tour with beautiful sights and an excellent guide. I just wish the pace were a little more relaxed!

So many similar buses come to the meeting place that it was hard to tell which one was ours. After about an hour on the bus, we arrived at a pitch-black location! At first, there were quite a few clouds, and I think we all pointed our smartphones at the sky for about 10 minutes trying to see something. Around that time, they handed out cocoa, and refills were available! Just as people were starting to head back to the bus, saying we probably wouldn't be able to see anything, someone shouted that they caught the aurora in a photo! We all ran over there and took pictures✨ A green aurora showed up in the photos, but to the naked eye, it looked like white wisps! Still, as an experience of seeing the aurora, I am extremely satisfied!

I took three day trips from Reykjavik and it is my favorite one. You will have the opportunity to see some of the most iconic sights in Iceland, such as Skogarfoss and Reynisfjara Beach. Highly recommended!

Our guide (Ari? I am not sure the spelling) but he was awesome! Gave us detailed introductions to the sites and also Icelandic history as we drove to each location. He answered questions and shared funny stories. I like that he shared some of the views of Icelandic people. It’s a good tour for solo travelers

Cel mai popular tur de o zi în Islanda. Ghidul nostru a fost bine informat, evident operatorii au solicitat ca toți ghizii să fie pregătiți. În timp ce craterul a fost așa și așa, Cascada Gullfoss a fost magnifică și uimitoare. De asemenea, am reușit să trecem pe la o fermă mică și să mângâiem câțiva dintre caii din Islanda care sunt atât de adorați. Sperăm ca prețul să poată fi puțin mai mic.
