Water temperature: 38–40°C. That is the figure Sky Lagoon publishes and holds, not a reading from today — these pools are heated to a target rather than left to the weather.

Daylight through the year

Iceland's daylight swings further than almost anywhere people holiday, and it decides what a tour can actually show you. Times are for the 15th of each month at this spot.

What is seasonal here

None of these have fixed dates, so each one says what its real dates depend on.

Midnight sun

May–July

True midnight sun only above the Arctic Circle — Grímsey. The mainland gets civil twilight all night, which looks much the same.

Lupine in bloom

June–July

Introduced, controversial and impossible to miss when it flowers. Peaks a fortnight later in the north than the south.

What people do here

Getting here without a car

Every tour we sell that stops at Sky Lagoon leaves from Reykjavík, which is to say from Reykjavík itself.

All 4 of them collect you from your accommodation or a designated stop, so the tour is the transport — there is nothing else to arrange and no timetable to read.

A seat on a day tour here costs €215 per person. There is no scheduled bus we can sell you to Sky Lagoon, so a guided day is the practical way in without a car.

The days themselves run from about 7 h to 13 h door to door, so check the length as carefully as the price — the cheapest seat is often the longest coach day. 4 different operators run here, which matters more without a car than with one: if the weather cancels your day, there is usually another departure rather than a lost trip.

Both work here. A car buys you the stops you want at the times you want them; a tour buys you not having to think about the road.

Cheapest way in without a car: a guided day tour from Reykjavík, from €215 per person.

We have done the sums on this properly: what a rental car actually costs against guided tours.

Sky Lagoon: questions people ask

How many tours go to Sky Lagoon?

We list 4 — 4 day tours and 0 multi-day packages, from 4 operators. That is what we currently have contracts for, not everything that exists in Iceland.

How much does it cost to visit Sky Lagoon?

The place itself is usually free to enter; what you pay for is getting there. A day tour seat runs from €215, with a typical price of €215. Some sites charge separately for parking or admission — check the individual tour.

When can you visit Sky Lagoon?

Looking at the next 360 days of live availability, departures fall in September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August. That is a rolling window rather than the full year, so a month missing here is not necessarily a month with nothing running.

How much daylight is there at Sky Lagoon?

January: 5 h 19 min · March: 11 h 34 min · June: 20 h 58 min · September: 13 h 11 min · December: 4 h 16 min. Iceland stays on UTC all year, so there is no clock change to allow for.

Do you need a tour, or can you drive to Sky Lagoon yourself?

Both work. Driving gives you the stops you want and the time you want them; a tour removes the winter road decisions and lets everyone look out of the window. We sell the tours and say so — if self-driving suits you better, it suits you better.

Yes — 4 guided day tours in our catalogue stop here. 4 of the tours pick you up from your accommodation, so no onward transport is needed.

What is the cheapest way to get to Sky Lagoon?

A guided day tour from Reykjavík, from €215 per person. Private tours cost more because they are priced per vehicle rather than per seat.

Put it in a day

Sky Lagoon is rarely a whole day on its own. The planner knows how long each tour takes and how far apart the start points are, so it can build the rest of the day around it.
