Advantages: Wonderful experience, easily accessible from Reykjavik by bus

Disadvantages: The large number of tourists ...

If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend time on this marvellous island, take time out to relax in the warm, sea salty water of the Blue Lagoon.
N.B. most hotels/hostels organise buses or are linked to a network of buses that go here. If you are travelling alone, don't be afraid, this is one of the easiest places to spend time on your own. However, beware there are tourists everywhere.

Witnessing the steam rise from the water, with the snow covered lava fields all around is an experience in itself. I have been here 3 or 4 times now and never cease to enjoy it.

The lagoon is full of sea water containing minerals, silica and blue-green algae, all of which are meant to be very good for your skin. Can't say it had the same effect on my hair, certainly needed a few washes for it to feel normal again.

The Blue Lagoon has a very good website www.bluelagoon.is where you can find prices etc and get a better idea of what I am talking about.

The changing rooms and shower area are nice.

Summary: An out of this world experience
