    I traveled to Iceland during the summer and was amazed by how incredibly beautiful the country is. One of the highlights of my trip was a private Golden Circle tour with Family and Friends Travel that also included a visit to a husky kennel. The entire experience was wonderful, fun, and very well organized. Seeing the famous Golden Circle sights and visiting the huskies made the day truly special. Our guide took excellent care of us throughout the tour and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. They were kind, attentive, and very knowledgeable, which made the experience even more memorable. Iceland left such a strong impression on me that I will definitely be coming back in the fall next year, and I would highly recommend Family and Friends Travel to anyone visiting this beautiful country.

    We had a fantastic Golden Circle tour with Family and Friends Travel! I went with my family, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The guide was both informative and fun, sharing interesting facts along the way while keeping everyone engaged—including the kids, which made a big difference for us as a family. They had a great way of explaining things that kept it entertaining rather than feeling like a lecture. One of the nicest touches was the snack basket, which everyone really enjoyed during the trip. It was a thoughtful addition and made the tour feel extra welcoming and comfortable. Overall, it was a well-organized, family-friendly experience and a wonderful way to see the Golden Circle. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Iceland, especially families!

    My daughter and I visited Iceland in February. We expected to do less considering the weather at this time of the year, but fortunately the weather was on our favour and we managed to enjoy a volcano hike and blue lagoon tour with family and friends travel Iceland. Our driver was knowledgeable, clear and very nice lady. She had coffee and sandwiches for us that we enjoyed at the end of the hike. It was cold but the hot coffee helped much. She explained the few eruptions and I must say, it’s incredible how much we learned from her. It was such a calming experience to deep ourselves in the blue silica water of the blue lagoon before heading back to the airport. It was sad to say goodbye to Iceland and family and friends travel Iceland. We plan to go back, this time in the summer to see more of this incredibly beautiful country.

Lagoons & spas — questions people ask

Is the Blue Lagoon worth it or is it too touristy?

It is busy and it is worth it, once. The water is milky blue from silica, the setting in the Reykjanes lava is unlike anywhere else, and it sits twenty minutes from Keflavík Airport, so it fits an arrival or departure day. Book a time slot in advance; it sells out. If crowds bother you, go early morning or after 20:00. The Secret Lagoon or Fontana on the Golden Circle are calmer and cheaper alternatives.

Can I do the Blue Lagoon on the way to or from the airport?

Yes, and it is the best way to use it. Transfers like IceTransfer's Keflavík to Blue Lagoon to Reykjavík (/experience/1036423/) or the reverse (/experience/1036419/) stop at the lagoon for a few hours with your luggage stored. Allow at least three hours at the lagoon and check that your slot lines up with your flight. Note that the Reykjanes eruptions have closed the lagoon at short notice; check its status before travelling.

What is the difference between the Secret Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon?

The Secret Lagoon at Flúðir is a simple, warm geothermal pool with a bubbling hot spring beside it and basic changing rooms. It is on the Golden Circle, so it slots into a sightseeing day (/experience/17050/, /experience/624446/). The Blue Lagoon is a spa: silica masks, swim-up bar, saunas and a price to match. If you want a soak after a day of waterfalls, Secret Lagoon. If you want the spa day, Blue Lagoon.

Do I have to shower naked before a pool in Iceland?

Yes, at every public pool and most lagoons. Swimwear off, wash thoroughly with soap, swimwear on, then into the water. It is a hygiene rule because Icelandic pools use very little chlorine, and it is taken seriously. Changing rooms are single-sex with open showers; some larger lagoons have a few private cubicles. Nobody looks. It feels odd for thirty seconds and then it does not.
