Venture to Iceland’s hot springs, nestled in the country’s awe-inspiring, otherworldly landscapes

Iceland’s Interior: Venture into this pristine, untrodden region which boasts an abundance of hidden natural wonders. Much of Iceland’s lesser-traveled interior consists of rugged terrain that is not accessible by car, and it is therefore not as visited by travelers. Embark on a true adventure as you fly over surreal landscapes in a helicopter, watching as the land below transforms from black sand beaches and oceanfront into volcanos, thundering waterfalls and piercing blue geothermal pools. Upon landing, take a dip in mineral-rich waters as you marvel at the space and silence around you. You can also reach some of these areas by monster truck or superjeep, outfitted with wheels that can easily crawl over challenging terrain. Either option offers a true immersion into the remote regions where you’ll hardly see other people.

Hvammsvik Hot Springs: Escape the crowds and revel in unspoiled nature, surrounded by boundless ocean views, black sand beaches and majestic mountains.

Choose from eight hot springs, just a 45-minute drive from Reykjavík.

Forest Lagoon:   Listen to the sound of the wind through the birch and pine trees while you take in views of Eyjafjörður, one of Iceland’s longest fjords. Forest Lagoon is aptly named for it’s stunning location in Vaðlaskógur, a lush forest that imbues the setting with a grounding energy and tranquility. Choose from two pools, a larger one which is around 37°C (98.6F) and a smaller one which is around 40°C (104F). Enliven your circulatory system by alternating between hot and cold with a bracing plunge into one of the adjacent cold pools. A nearby sauna harnesses the power of dry heat while offering unique views of the fjords. Cap off your experience with a beautiful meal at Forest Bistro, a calming wood-clad dining room with fresh regional ingredients.

Sky Lagoon: Soothe your muscles in thermal pools, detoxify your pores in the dry sauna, get your heart pumping with a dip in their cold plunge pool or cold misting showers. Exfoliate skin with an invigorating salt scrub, and finish off the experience with the essence of krækiber — an elixir made from the crowberries that dot the nearby Icelandic lava fields. Surrounded by dramatic rock formations, piercing green moss and endless marine views, Sky Lagoon invites you to embody the spirit of Icelandic tradition just in Reykjavik, just 15 minutes from the downtown city center.
