Skip the Line: Secret Lagoon Entrance Ticket
Description
Secret Lagoon natural hot springs are located in the small village called Fludir and are in the Golden Circle area. We have kept it natural and unique for our guests so they can get the true Icelandic feeling. The pool’s natural surroundings and steam rising into the air gives the place a magical feeling. The warm water stays at 38-40 Celsius all year. In the whole area there are several geothermal spots and a little Geysir which erupts every 5 minutes, showing off for the guests relaxing in the hot spring. During winter, Northern lights can often be seen in the area and what better way to experience the light show than relaxing in the warm water surrounded by the steam from the earth?

Itinerary
Originally built in 1891, the ‘Gamla Laugin’ as it eventually came to be known, was Iceland’s first swimming pool. For decades thereafter, Gamla Laugin was virtually abandoned until its present day owner decided to give it new life in 2005. By this time, the pool had long been forgotten and for a few years he used it as his own private heated swimming pool just for himself and a few friends, remaining a secret for several years. That is how The Secret Lagoon got its enigmatic name. A natural hot spring feeds the lagoon with 38-39°C water that bubbles up from deep within the earth at a rate of 10 litres per second, constantly replenishing itself so that there is a steady supply of fresh clean water in the pool at any given time. The Secret Lagoon offers brand new facilities next the hot spring area in Fludir. Facilities available: changing rooms, showers, resting rooms, bar and restaurant area. With the completion of changing rooms, showering facilities, outside deck, walkways and a small café, The Secret Lagoon quietly opened in the summer of 2014.

Great place, family friendly and nice & clean facilities. Good value for the price. Checkin was smooth.
Found on Rick Steves Book was helpful
This was super not so massive and yet that lovely warm Icelandic water. Everything was well arranged there.
This is the oldest and nicest lagoon out of the 5 I visited. I liked it the most because of the larger deep pool. Most of the other lagoons did not have such a large hot pool. Water temp was great and there were two smaller hot pools and I believe there was also a cold plunge tub. Bring a towel and water shoes. The big pool has pebbles at the bottom. Strongly recommend advance purchase admission. It gets busy.
BRING YOUR OWN TOWELS! We loved the experience, but we were shocked by the price to rent very cheap towels. Buyer beware, I guess. Other than the cost of the towels, it’s a wonderful place to spend time with your family. ❤️
Checked in at appointment time. Watched a short video before removing footage. Then went to changing rooms with lockers to shower before putting on swim suits. Glad we brought our own towels. Two lifeguards were on duty. It was a peaceful and relaxing experience. Not as commercial as other lagoons.
Really a nice and relaxed experience- we enjoy it in the rainy weather which was definitely not a disadvantage. Perfect activity in this weather. 12 degrees outside Very nice, neat and practical dressing room. Possibility of buying food and drinks Definitely a recommendation from us.
The lagoon is refreshing and quiet. Not as crowded as other lagoons, though it’s clearly not really a secret.
Excellent service with a great value of the cost spent. Highly recommend it
Keep it secret so it doesn't get ruined by unruly herds of tourists. Best price and location for a hot dip.
