The Secret Lagoon at Flúðir is the simpler, cheaper and more local soak, and it slots into a Golden Circle day. The Blue Lagoon is a polished spa that suits an airport day. If you are driving the Golden Circle anyway, the Secret Lagoon is the easy choice; if your trip starts or ends at Keflavík, the Blue Lagoon fits better.

Which is cheaper, Blue Lagoon or Secret Lagoon?+
Across the tours we sell, the typical per-person fare is €242 for Blue Lagoon and €176 for Secret Lagoon; the cheapest seats are €131 and €44. Private and per-vehicle tours are left out, because a car price is not comparable with a seat.
Is it cheaper to book direct with the operator?+
No. We sell at the operator’s own price and are paid a commission by them, so the price is the same. Booking here puts both kinds of tour in one basket with one checkout.
