Experience the tranquil charm of Iceland’s oldest swimming pool on our Private Secret Lagoon Tour. We invite you to step away from the crowds and immerse yourself in the authentic Icelandic bathing experience at the Secret Lagoon, one of the country’s best-kept treasures.
Located in the picturesque village of Flúðir, the Secret Lagoon, or Gamla Laugin (“The Old Pool”), offers an extraordinary glimpse into Iceland’s geothermal wonders. Built in 1891, it holds the distinction of being the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. The lagoon served as a popular local bathing spot until 1947 when it was eventually abandoned in favor of more modern swimming pools. Fortunately, in 2005, this historic pool was restored to its original glory, allowing visitors from around the world to enjoy its serene, warm waters.
Unlike commercialized hot springs, the Secret Lagoon retains its rustic, old-world charm, giving you the feeling of stepping back in time by over a century. The natural setting, surrounded by geothermal activity, lush greenery, and soothing steam, makes it an ideal place to relax, unwind, and truly connect with Iceland’s nature.
The Secret Lagoon stands out due to its unique surroundings. Located next to active geysers, you can watch these geothermal wonders erupt as you soak in the warm water. The geysers shoot up every few minutes, adding an element of excitement and wonder to your experience. It’s a far more intimate and tranquil alternative to popular destinations like the Blue Lagoon or Sky Lagoon.
The pool maintains a comfortable temperature of 38-40°C (100-104°F) all year round, making it perfect for a relaxing soak, no matter the season. As one of the few remaining man-made pools with a truly authentic, old-school Icelandic vibe, it offers a special blend of history, natural beauty, and relaxation.
Our private tour ensures you have the flexibility and personalized experience you deserve. Unlike large group tours, our tailored journey allows you to explore the Secret Lagoon at your own pace, without any rush. The driver-guide will provide insights into Iceland’s fascinating geothermal history and local culture, making your experience both relaxing and informative.
The Secret Lagoon is an ideal choice for those seeking an authentic, less crowded experience compared to the more commercialized hot springs. Whether you are a couple looking for a romantic escape, a family wanting a special Icelandic experience, or a traveler seeking tranquility amidst Iceland’s natural wonders, this tour will offer memories to cherish.
Escape the busy tourist routes and experience the unique charm of Secret Lagoon, where history, natural beauty, and serenity converge. The Secret Lagoon offers a truly special Icelandic experience—peaceful, authentic, and full of geothermal wonders. Let us take you on a journey to unwind and discover Iceland’s hidden beauty.
