Secret Lagoon (Gamla Laugin) Tours and Tickets

Q: What is the Secret Lagoon (Gamla Laugin) and where is it located in Iceland?

The Secret Lagoon (or Gamla Laugin, which means old pool) is an outdoor thermal pool in South Iceland and the oldest in the country. Located in a geothermal area, it is fed by natural hot springs. The Secret Lagoon is in Fludir, around 60 miles (97 kilometers) east of Reykjavik.

Q: How do I get to the Secret Lagoon from downtown Reykjavik?

If you have a car, you can drive there by taking the Ring Road (Route 1) south, then turn onto Road 30 after Selfoss. The Straeto bus line 72/73 also connects Reykjavik with Fludir. Taxis are another option. Some Golden Circle tours from Reykjavik include a stop at the Secret Lagoon.

Q: Can visitors swim in the Secret Lagoon year-round?

Yes, visitors can swim in the Secret Lagoon year-round. The Secret Lagoon’s natural warm water is heated by the surrounding hot springs to around 100–104°F (38-40°C) all year. Visitors can enjoy slightly extended hours during the summer season from June to September, though advanced reservations are recommended.

Q: Are there any age restrictions for visiting the Secret Lagoon?

No, there are no age restrictions for visiting the Secret Lagoon, although children cannot enter the pool on their own. An adult must accompany children 16 and under. Children 14 and under can enter for free with a paying adult. Children 8 and under need to wear inflatable swim armbands.

Q: Is it necessary to book advance Secret Lagoon tickets?

Visitors should make a reservation in advance, as entry to the lagoon cannot be guaranteed otherwise. This is especially true during the summer high season. You can make reservations online for a specific date and time. Pay online or upon arrival at the Secret Lagoon reception.

Q: Are there any facilities or amenities available at the Secret Lagoon, such as showers or changing rooms?

Yes, the Secret Lagoon includes an indoor changing room with lockers and keys. Men’s and women’s communal showers are also available, and everyone must shower without swimsuits before entering the pool. Towels and swimsuits are available for rent. There is also a café offering drinks, snacks, and sandwiches.

Golden Circle, Secret Lagoon and Kerid Crater Tour from Reykjavik

Julia_M, Feb 2026

Excellent tour with exceptional tour guides

The bus stop picks were absolute chaos though once on the tour you couldn’t fault it. The local tour guides (Heidi and bus driver Thor) were excellent, so knowledgeable and passionate about their beautiful country they really made the tour extra special. Such an amazing place and so many breathtaking sites to see. We had about the right amount of time in each place and the coach was clean and comfortable. I would recommend this tour and the tour guides to anyone thinking of visiting Iceland.

Magical day trip

Took your in November, dress appropriately for chance of snow, shoes either good grip or consider crampons for snow, the paths can be icy. Be prepared to shower in the locker room before entering lagoon, it is mandatory to ensure cleanliness of the lagoon. We had a magical time at the Secret Lagoon. Very quiet, snow fell while we were there and it was almost spiritual. Ask to stop and see the Icelandic horses if they are out by the road., Had a great time!
