We visited Sky Lagoon on our way to our Reykjavik hotel after we landed. We had the "A Morning Moment - Sér for Two", and it as exactly as described on line. We started with a yummy breakfast and then had private changing rooms to shower and get ready for the 7-step ritual. The views were breathtaking from the lagoon and the saunas. There was a large group of vacationing teen boys from the UK, but it didn't feel overly crowded. It was fun to sip on a drink from the lagoon walk up bar. We drove and the directions seemed odd going through an industrial area, but we made it perfectly fine with Google maps. It was expensive and don't know if we would do it again, but it we were definately relaxed and refreshed after our visit.

Itinerary
Sky Lagoon is a geothermal spa inspired by Icelandic nature, heritage, and history. It is located only minutes from the city center and offers a dramatic yet stunning views across the North Atlantic Ocean. Where the sea meets sky, feel yourself relax and unwind as you take in the dazzling sunsets and moody skies and, if you're lucky, the dancing Northern Lights will put on a stunning show. Then, take your relaxation deeper with the Ritual, a unique seven-step experience that guides you through the history of Icelandic bathing culture. Over the centuries, we've developed a way to combine the healing powers of warm water, cold water, warm steam, dry heat and fresh air. We use our traditions to integrate these natural elements to promote our wellbeing, inside and out. Those traditions are integral to Icelandic way of life and are at the core of the Sky Lagoon journey. Good to know: Age limit for Sky Lagoon is 12 years old. Sky Lagoon team members may ask to confirm your child's date of birth using a valid ID card or passport and reserve the right to refuse access if one cannot be provided.

Amazing experience, very relaxing. The view from the lagoon and the sauna is amazing. I would definitely do it again. This is the amazing experience with everything amazing!!!!! LOL
I find sky lagoon overpriced, crowded with tourists. Yes they had all the steps but with everyone in the same room same area, it took away the serenity feel of this place. Most people go there to take photos, not to rejuvenate. I booked a private changing room. It is a basic shower room. It’s a lot of money for this.
Absolutely everything was perfect and every detail thought of to give you a very relaxing Icelandic spa treatment. We felt spoiled and relaxed and enjoyed every minute of our time at Sky Lagoon
My husband and I have been to sky lagoon 3 times now: we took my in-laws with us this time and they were in awe. The lagoon was beautiful as ever, the seven step ritual awesome and the drinks at the bar are yum. We stayed at the waters edge watching the world go by for 1.5 hours. Everyone should try it. Just a fantastic place. We will be back!!
Amazing experience at the sky lagoon, we did the 7 step ritual. Private changing/shower facilities were so good and spotless, from there straight into the lagoon which was amazing, along with all the other steps in the ritual. Staff were friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend this enough for anyone traveling to Reykjavík.
We went at 2:30 pm on a Monday, which was perfect. Not too crowded and no wait for 7 step ritual. The bar was well stocked and not too pricey for Iceland. The water temperature was divine and we loved h the e hot spots where you could soak your feet which we needed after long hikes. Alcoholic drinks were capped at three per person, which ensures the place doesn’t get too rowdy. We we surprised at the number of people swimming around with their cell phones taking videos of themselves, but that is just us. Facilities are clean and efficient. Hair dryers are provided, as our showers and lockers. I enjoyed the sauna, salt scrub and stem room, but skipped the cold plunge. It is much smaller than the Blue Lagoon and there are no children. Highly recommend!
Wonderful relaxing day. Drinks are expensive but it is Iceland!
Fantastic experience - less crowded and smaller than the blue lagoon, stunning views and the ritual was great to experience.
This was without a doubt an absolute amazing experience. Clean, friendly, good for the soul, best spa experience ever. Wish i could go back.
A very serene and totally relaxing experience—also a little adventurous as well. The 7 step ritual was a totally new experience and the facilities are new and exceptional in authenticity. The thermal hot spring pool is not too hot so you can stay in it as long as you want. The view over the ocean or fjord is breathtaking. The sauna room has an entire floor to ceiling window from end to end of the wide room. The effect is breathtaking since it feels like there is nothing between the warmth you are basking in and the ocean. We enjoyed a snack at the cafe beforehand. The soups were delicious, as was the Icelandic burrata over pesto with tomatoes. Both were served with a hearty bread that I believe is sourdough. We liked that the ticket is for a day pass and you can take as long as you like without feeling rushed. This was our only scheduled activity on our last day and it was just perfect to relax and unwind after a full week of hiking and touring.
Amazing experience. We all did this on our last afternoon in Iceland after a two week tour of the entire country. It was a terrific way to end our trip. Very relaxing!
Very relaxing experience with a great view. There was quite a bit of space in the lagoon to spread out, and there weren’t too many people in at one time. The ritual was well worth it, a unique experience. Would recommend!
Beautiful experience. Loved the rituals. Went twice, once at the beginning of our trip in the afternoon and again at the end of the trip at night. We were able to see the Northern Lights. I would definitely go again.
Had a great time. The Lagoon temperature was warm and not too hot; it was enjoyable to stay in the water. I could only stay for 2 hours between opening and having to go to the airport for my return flight. 2 hours felt too short for me, and I felt I had to rush the 7-Step so I can enjoy the lagoon again One thing to be aware of: The 7-Step Ritual damaged my glasses' coating, and my glasses look like there are lots of scratches. I did not see any warning on-site or on the website until I saw 1 TripAdvisor review at the airport. I guess don't wear expensive glasses. The drinks offered were also very expensive
This was my first thermal spa experience and it won't be my last. How lucky I am to have experienced it here in Iceland. The changerooms and showers were very clean, and towels were provided. We went in late afternoon and watched the sun go down in this spectacular place. Calming, serene, beautiful surroundings. I didn't want to leave. We went on our final night in Iceland and what a way to end a wonderful trip.
I was pretty skeptical about paying that much for a hot spring but it was worth it. Amazing. Lived it and the 7 step ritual
This is a must do! The facility was clean, well organized and easy to use. Take advantage of the full experience. It's well worth it. We saw a whale while we were in the sauna - unbelievable! The staff stayed in the background and kept the place clean and watched out for everyone in the lagoon. The cold plunge is a MUST do followed by the other steps in the Nordic process. Plan on a solid three hours. Treat yourself and your group to a great experience that you'll never forget. The price is very reasonable for what you get and the atmosphere is over the top. We thought about the other option but are so glad we went here.
Highly recommend Sky Lagoon. Was a very serene and nice experience. Don't have to stay too long but can stay longer if you'd like. We got the Ser tickets, and it was nice to have a private changing area and showers.
I don’t think I will ever have a good spa day in England ever again as the sky lagoon totally out does every spa facility I’ve ever been to. Absolutely stunning! Would definitely recommend to book it around the sun setting as it is incredible!
Everything was very clean and felt very upscale and felt very luxurious. I really enjoyed the seven steps and never feeling rushed.
Great experience! Relaxing and fun. The sun was out and the lagoon did not feel crowded. The 7 steps were wonderful. Did the cold plunge several times. Would highly recommend!
It was amazing . The perfect ending to our 11 days in Iceland. So enjoyed the Skojl ritual. My friends and I enjoyed and relaxed. Cynthia Heil
If you want to take pictures bring a phone case. Beautiful....worth it. Keep your eyes open for seals swimming by.
The Sky Lagoon is a truly Iceland experience. From the moment you walk in, the service & attention to details were impressive. Little details like taking your shoes off before going into the locker rooms, bathrooms being constantly cleaned, attendants everywhere ready to assist with questions, providing a sleek zip-up bag for your wet bathing suit, it was wonderful. Not to mention the superhero who saved my iPhone when my protective case broke & it fell outside the infinity pool into the overflow open piping. The 7 step ritual is highly recommended. Ask the attendant to let you take repeated cold plunges after sitting in the sauna for 15 mins…it takes getting used to but worth it. So relaxing. Felt like a new person after the salt scrub, steam room, & shower. The Sky Lagoon was one of the top highlights of our 10 day Iceland trip & 100% one of the reasons I’ll be going back.
Such a wonderful and rejuvenating experience.
We were a bit sceptical as weather had been so bad but thankfully the sun was out when we arrived The reception staff were very welcoming and the changing rooms were very chic Entering the lagoon was amazing and we enjoyed two glasses Prosecco for £22 We then went through the several stage ritual and felt totally refreshed Amazing
We just finished a week in Iceland, and we visited both the Sky Lagoon and another popular, larger lagoon. If you are on the fence between these, I cannot recommend the Sky Lagoon more. Sky Lagoon feels very natural, with great decor and a well-planned, relaxed circuit. We relaxed with a drink on the infinity wall and watched a minke whale swim past. We have already recommended Sky Lagoon to friends coming next year, and when we return to Iceland, we will certainly be going back.
I was alone - finished working at a conference downtown and decided to check it out. Worth it. Relaxing - I loved the cold plunge, steam room especially. Crowds were big but doable - good to people watch, feel the vibe, the food at the cafe after the pool experience was bang on good. Overall - it was pricey, but worth when you have limited time in Reykjavik, and it's within the city outer limits. Go here. I was alone for 3 hours but didn't feel alone. Staff are very nice.
My only complaint is lack of signage and direction. For example,I arrived and there was no sign that said entrance (that I saw anyway--and there was a door that clearly had marked exit only). The facilities were sparkling--everything was perfect(I took a nice little nap in the sauna). Finally upon leaving I had no idea where the cab line was. Again an absence of clearly marked signage. There was a cab dropping off a passenger and I just got in with him. He jumped the line. Which wouldn't have happened had there been signage. I would have cooperated. 2 minor annoyances makes it a 4 not 5 star experience. Thank you! Next year I want to come back and do the south coast tour!!
We came straight from the airport after a 4.5-hour flight from Boston and only 3 hours of sleep, and Sky Lagoon was exactly what we needed. The place is beautiful, spotless, and elegantly designed. The Ritual was wonderful, and the crowberry martini afterward was excellent. The perfect treatment for the sleepless night!
This spa is beautiful. The spa team are fantastic. Book the ritual and the private changing facilities. BUT I am sure that I am in many many social media posts - an unwilling contributor. The filming and pic taking was a real spoiler and actually intrusive. Would love to go back when there are sessions which ban devices.
Very nice facility. The staff is stationed throughout to help you. Enjoyable experience the first day off a long flight
Terrible experience, tourist trap, extremely windy and they would not cancel. It was so bad that people were commenting if we survive this we can survive anything And on top of it, Viator was not able to help us during this miserable experience Stay away from SkyLagoon
I have never been to a spa before, but this experience ruined it for me because I don’t know if I will ever find one this luxurious again! I can’t just try my local spa now that I’ve had the extremely surreal experience of Sky Lagoon. This place is a must go if you are visiting Iceland. Also, my personal recommendation is going at sunset. We planned that and it was glorious.
Everything was great, but wish the water was a little warmer
We arrived at sky Lagoon directly after landing at the airport on a redeye flight. We were tired but excited to experience the seven step rituals. We debated between blue lagoon and sky Lagoon and ended up picking sky Lagoon and are very happy with our choice. Our booking time for 9 AM. It wasn’t very crowded. The amenities were lovely and we had showers stalls that allowed for private showering before entering the lagoon. This was a worry as I had read unless you booked a private shower you would have to showered communally but this was not the case with our basic ticket. The Lagoon itself provided a welcome reset and allowed us to shower again before setting off to see Reykjavík for the day. I would highly recommend Sky lagoon.
Relaxing and just love the lagoon
Had the most sensational time at the Sky Lagoon with hubby, we got the perfect weather and amazing welcome from the staff. They told us we could stay as long as we liked and they explained everything so well to us. If you are finding it difficult to decide between the Sky Lagoon or Blue Lagoon...do the Sky Lagoon! Much nicer and quieter. Memorable experience!
We arrived just before sunset. Amazing experience. Family trip and everyone enjoyed it. The 7 step ritual was great. Drinks while soaking we’re also good. I do wish the water was a bit hotter.mi overheard several people saying the same
Amazing spa. This is the best I have ever been to. Wonderful and picturesque and relaxing. Great drinks too 10/10
Loved it, saw Jann Arden. I guess everyone uses your lagoon
Definitely a great few hours. Enjoyed the lagoon. It was extremely clean. The setting was beautiful and relaxing. The water was perfect. We really enjoyed the other sections. I think this and the scenery set this apart from the Blue Lagoon.
This is a do not miss experience it is truly magical. Do the 7 step ritual. We were travelling with teenagers and young adults and they all said this was their favorite activity experience photo op etc by far.
It was very relaxing; nice warm water but bring a beanie to keep your head & ears warm. It was a very windy day & was glad I had it. 7 step ritual was fun; skin felt great after.
Awesome experience! Highly recommended. We did the Ser option with private changing rooms. A little expensive but an experience we won’t forget! Loved it. Landed at 6am and at lagoon for 1pm. Great way to start a long weekend in Iceland!
Wonderful experience. Go early in the day. We arrived at 9:30am on a Monday and there were no more than a dozen people in the lagoon. Very serene. By the time we left at 11:30am, the lagoon was swarming with people talking loudly and taking selfies. The 7 step ritual is quite nice, very relaxing and rejuvenating.
A must do in Iceland. If you have to pick one lagoon experience, this is the one. From beginning to end, what an experience. Beautifully done and breathtaking. Left at peace
One of a kind hot springs experience right by the sea. The 7-step ritual was unique and worthwhile. I would definitely go again next time.
The Sky Lagoon was an amazing experience. It was large enough for the amount of people that were there and the facilities were clean and well kept. The staff was helpful with any questions we had.
