Soak in the mineral-rich waters of Iceland’s fabled Blue Lagoon, said to be the nation’s health and beauty secret. Meet your guide for a drive through the rugged lava fields of the Reykjanes Peninsula, home of this famous geothermal pool. The original lagoon was formed after an accidental overflow from the adjacent geothermal plant; today, it is one of a dozen pools of its kind in the country. The mineral-rich, milky-blue water, steamy vapors and 12-foot-high lava wall surrounding the pool create a unique bathing atmosphere. Note that this is not a swimming excursion, but a chance to soak in mineral waters of 102˚F. The floor of the lagoon can be rough and uneven. Health regulations require all bathers to disrobe and shower in gender-specific communal changing rooms before donning their swimsuits and entering the lagoon. This excursion is unsuitable for those with walking difficulties, and a swimsuit and a change of clothes are required.
