Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Pickmeup.is 's own price and take our commission from them, not from you. What you get here is one checkout across operators, one confirmation, and one place to change or cancel it. If you ever find it cheaper on their own site, tell us and we will match it or explain why we cannot.

About this experience

This is one of our fovourite tours, and for good reason's. You will get to enjoy the picturesque landscape where the icebergs break down in the North Atlantic Ocean and turn in to sparkling diamonds and wash to shore on the black sand beach. This is absolutely breath-taking to see. 

You will also get to enjoy the amazing Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon on this tour, see the amazing contrasts, where the blue lake meets the biggest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull Glacier.

We will stop at a restaurant or a café on the way either at Reynisfjara-Black Sand Beach or Kirkjuæjarklaustur, where you will be able to dine. Please note that unless stated otherwise, food and drinks are not included in the price.

We also offer our client's to choose up to three stops along the way on our iconic South Shore tour.

This is a tour you can't miss out when traveling through Iceland and you will definitely keep this adventure in your heart for years to come

We guarantee all our client’s high standard vehicle's and professionalism, and we strive to make your journey in Iceland a dream come true. 

Tour duration is about 12-14 hours.

Description from the operator, Pickmeup.is . Prices and availability in the booking panel are live.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 2 days before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 14 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.
  • Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 07:00, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

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.
