The site is open to everyone, so don’t miss the chance to witness the raw power of lava pouring across the Earth’s surface! The one-way hike takes approximately 1.5 hours, but the area around the volcano is constantly changing due to flowing lava, so hiking times may vary.

The package includes Blue Lagoon admission, a silica mud mask, a towel, and one drink. At the end of the tour, return to Reykjavik. *Duration: 10 hours 【This route does not provide guide information.

This geothermal lagoon, now an ambassador for Iceland, is the “world’s largest outdoor seawater hot spring” and a world-renowned wellness destination. Iceland is a country with many volcanoes, and the Blue Lagoon is located in one of the areas on Earth with frequent underground magma activity. The water stays at around 39–40°C year-round, unaffected even by rain or snow. The white silica mud in the Blue Lagoon is also a natural beauty treatment; applied to the face, it moisturizes and cleanses the skin.
