Blue Lagoon
We cannot guarantee entry for guests who arrive at a different time than their booking. While we aim for versatility, it’s often not possible to accommodate late or delayed arrivals. However, all tickets have a one-hour window of flexibility. For example, a ticket booked for 13:00 means that you can arrive anytime between 13:00 and 14:00.
If you know that your booked time will not work, please contact us as soon as possible. Depending on availability, we may be able to accommodate an alternative time or date.
For further info, please read the terms and conditions that apply to online bookings.
You may print your e-ticket if you choose, but this is not necessary. You may also show your e-ticket on your mobile device.
Whether printed or digital, the ticket will be scanned on arrival. It has a unique barcode that holds all the details about your booking and ensures that you get the best possible service when you arrive.
In general, entry to the Blue Lagoon is fully booked throughout the year. In order to reserve your desired date and time—and avoid the possibility that the lagoon will be sold out on the day you intend to visit—pre-booking is absolutely essential.

As part of our sustainability journey, we no longer offer slippers as an inclusion with each Premium admission.

Lagoon depth
The deepest part of the Blue Lagoon is 1.4m/4.7ft., but most areas are shallower. However, the bottom of the lagoon is naturally uneven, making caution an imperative. An overview map of the lagoon, displaying depths and temperatures, is located by the lagoon entrance.
You are welcome to bring your own towel, robe, slippers or whatever else you might need during your stay.
Bathing suits are worn in and around all areas of the bathing lagoon, including the sauna. You can bring your own, or rent them from reception. You can also rent towels and bathrobes. All are available in a range of sizes, from S to XL.
You don’t need to know how to swim to visit the Blue Lagoon. There are many areas where the water is shallow enough that it doesn’t pose a danger to non-swimmers. At the edges of the lagoon, the depth less than 0.8m/2.6ft—perfect for lounging and relaxing. The further into the water you go, the deeper it gets. Its greatest depth is 1.4m/4.7ft.
Children aged 2-8 years old are required to wear floaties which we provide. Adults may also request floaties.

Your wristband
The wristband has multiple uses Upon your arrival, you will be given a wristband. This colorful item is the key to your changing room locker. But it also functions as an in-water credit card. You can use it to purchase drinks and refreshments anywhere in the spa area.
Your locker and changing rooms
You will receive a private locker. We recommend that you store all your valuables--jewellery, shoes, cameras, etc.--inside your locker. But be sure to check that your locker is properly locked before you walk away. Blue Lagoon is not responsible for any lost valuables.
Use hair conditioner
The seawater in the Blue Lagoon has high levels of silica. Silica is not harmful to hair. However, if your hair gets wet, it can become stiff and difficult to manage. Therefore, we recommend that you apply conditioner to your hair before entering the lagoon--and leave it in your hair while in the lagoon. Complimentary conditioner is provided in the shower area.
Drink water and stay hydrated
You can become dehydrated in hot water. Therefore, we highly recommend that you drink plenty of water during your visit to the Blue Lagoon. This is particularly important for people who have diabetes or high blood pressure.
Prescription eyeglasses
If you have prescription eyeglasses and choose to wear them in the Blue Lagoon, be sure not to submerge them in the water. Silica—one of the Blue Lagoon's geothermal treasures—can damage the lenses.
Contact lenses
Salt, minerals, and other elements found in the seawater of the Blue Lagoon can irritate your eyes. Therefore, if you wear contact lenses, we recommend that you remove them before entering the lagoon.
Children at Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon has a minimum age limit of 2 years old. Children aged 2-to-13 are welcome to enjoy the Blue Lagoon--free of charge--with their family or guardian. However it is mandatory for children aged 2 to 8 to wear inflatable armbands (aka, ‘floaties’, ‘water wings’) in the lagoon. These are provided free of charge. Also be aware that each guardian is only allowed to supervise two children under the age of 10. For safety, and out of respect for other guests, please keep an eye on your children at all times.
