OUR ICELAND LAGOON TIPS
• Book popular lagoons in advance
• Visit early in the morning or later in the evening for a quieter experience
• Shower thoroughly without your swimming costume before entering
• Bring a reusable water bottle and stay hydrated
• Remove jewellery before entering mineral-rich geothermal water
• Allow enough time to enjoy the lagoon without rushing
Secret Lagoon has separate changing rooms for men and women, but the showers are communal and don’t have private cubicles. This is completely normal in Iceland, and showering before entering is mandatory.
