"First of all, our trip to Iceland exceeded my expectations. The Blue Lagoon was definitely my favorite part of the trip as the setting and experience is truly unique. It truly should be added to the book "1000 Places Before You Die" ! The author has definitely not been to Iceland or it would be listed as there is no place else like it (that I am aware of).
The Exclusive Lounge access with private dressing room and own lagoon, with amenities is certainly a great spa experience. And the restaurant ambiance and food was delicious. "

"After 8 years of relationship, I wanted to propose to my girlfriend, and I wanted to make it as memorable as possible. I chose the Blue Lagoon because of the beauty of the place, all I had heard from friends is that the place was beautiful, but I think that is an understatement! The Blue Lagoon itself was great, but what is even better is the staff that works there.
"They went miles out of their way to help me put in a good show for my proposal. I asked them to create a block of ice with a card inside of it, in which the "Will you marry me?" question would be written in Icelandic. They took care of the whole process, and dropped it off at the exact time we agreed on "D-Day". Everything went perfectly, and I'm sure that made it easier for my girlfriend to say "Yes!". We stayed in the Clinic, and they arranged everything for us, dinner at Lava, bus to the airport, everything! I can't be thankful enough to Heidur, Klara and the rest of the staff, who helped us to make this day even more memorable!"
Thanks for your help, Jorge
"Nothing can properly describe it - it's the reality of the experience that counts! A total natural experience - the water of life warmed from out of the earth; steam rising into the air above and lava below. Earth, Air, Fire, Water, the four vital elements of the Earth all together - given in one experience.
For me it gave the feeling of being truly connected with the energies and realities of life. It was wonderful and exclusive to Iceland."

"What I would like to convey to you is that the one little oasis .the few incredibly, relaxing and remarkably healing moments I have had during a very difficult time in my life -- were at the spa at the Blue Lagoon. This is a place I try to visit mentally as I deal with the current pressures in my life.because it does seem like a dream.
I have been to spas all over the world, but the spa at the Blue Lagoon and Carla, who provided my spa treatment, are both truly remarkable. The environment provides the opportunity for truly unique spa experiences - and I think you have excelled at capturing all there is to offer. In addition to that, the professionalism and skill of Carla as a therapist, was absolutely outstanding.
I do hope that this e-mail does express truly how I feel about my experience at the Blue Lagoon spa. My friends and family have heard me sing your praises to the point they are tiring of me --- so I hope my feedback is welcome."

"During a visit to Reykjavik last month I spent an afternoon at the Blue Lagoon, not knowing in advance about the purported therapeutic benefits of it.
Having spent the last 2.5 years battling chronic allergic dermatitis (eczema), I was astounded when just a couple of days after my visit the eczema was gone entirely! I had spent many hundreds of dollars on traditional medicine (cortisone-based creams, oral allergy prescriptions) and lots of additional money on alternative therapies (Oregon grape root, various herbal supplements, vitamins) but nothing worked -- I was in significant discomfort virtually every day over that 2.5 - year period.
Anyway, the eczema has not returned -- thankfully -- and I will be forever grateful for what, by all appearances, was a miraculous cure!"

"I went to the Blue Lagoon on August 10. I just wanted to say thank you for a fabulous time. Your staff was amazing! I was moving from England to the US so I had 3 large suitcases that they helped me bring into the building and store in a safe place. Everyone was more than helpful. Thanks again for a wonderful experience."

While visiting Iceland recently, I enjoyed the Blue Lagoon, on March 18 and 20. It was wonderful. The water, "mud" and the atmosphere are exceptional. So relaxing and rejuvenating. I hope I will be able to return, and soon. Blue Lagoon was a highlight of my visit.

My wife and I visited the Blue Lagoon on the 30th of March 04 for our 30th Wedding anniversary. We booked it through Thomas Cook in Edinburgh. We arrived around 7pm after a wonderful trip up there from Reykjavik in a minibus with the friendliest and funniest tour guide known as "Stephan The Tour Guide"!!. Upon arrival, Stephan tried to explain how to use the computerized wrist bands and locker system, however, all the men in the locker room (myself included) were trying to look as if they knew how to operate it but really none of us had a clue!!. Eventually someone figured it out and we all followed like sheep. Once you have showered you venture out into the lagoon. It was nearly dark, freezing cold and raining but this made the atmosphere and experience even better, it was simply unbelievable!!.
I had a very sore face, full of "zits" which had accumulated over the previous three days of drinking the most expensive beer on the planet. After a few minutes in the lagoon I could honestly feel the effect of the minerals on my skin. The next day my skin was as smooth as a baby's bum!! No kidding!!
If anyone is thinking about going to visit the blue lagoon, don't think.. go!
Our only regret was that we didn't spend long enough there, (two hours). Since it was our 30th wedding anniversary we were planning to have a meal after our dip in the lagoon but we enjoyed it so much we only had time for a hot dog before being called back to the bus. However, we made up for it with a fantastic meal at the Pearl restaurant the following evening. My wife and I have done lots of traveling world wide and this experience is going to be etched on our memory for a long time.

I had the most unique experience visiting the Blue Lagoon. I was visiting Iceland March 9 - 12, 2004 and one of our stops was a visit to the Blue Lagoon on Thursday, March 11th.
First I was amazed at the black walls of lava on either side of the entrance. It looked so surreal. You had the sense of being somewhere unearthly.
Unfortunately, it was cold and windy so getting a message was out of the question. I made the dash from the building to the water and the first dip was amazing. The air around you is so cold but, once in the waters you are warn even hot.
I sat there in the water letting myself relax and enjoying the uniqueness of the warm waters. I didn't want to leave.
I left there feeling totally refreshed both mind and body. The place transforms you to another place. You don't think of the world outside you are just fully absorbed in the what is around you.
I will definitely go back to Iceland to enjoy the Blue Lagoon.

I was just recently in Iceland and had the opportunity to see and go into the Blue Lagoon. It was the best experience I have ever had. It is one I will never forget, and when I left to come home, that was the one thing I was sad to leave behind. The day I was there the water was a blue fluorescent bubbly warm water, (some spots hot), and while we were in the water it was really snowing. I can't think of anything like it in the United States.

I want to say how much we both enjoyed our visit to the ultimate wonder of Blue Lagoon recently! We ended up so relaxed for a week when we flew back home the next day! Imagine what it's like trying to go back to work!
Many many thank you for a out of the world experience!
Kind Regards,

I had a business trip visiting both India and Iceland before returning to USA. When I checked my bag in India, my coat was inside since I did not want to carry it in the heat there. When I arrived in Iceland, my suitcase did not arrive. While waiting for the airline to find my baggage, it was suggested that I warm up in the waters of the Blue Lagoon. So I took a bus there.
I could not believe how beautiful a site with milky aqua water surrounded by rough lava rocks that were made smooth beneath the water's surface by the coating with silica from the geothermic water. I stayed in the water for a few hours. This ethereal experience gave me more than warmth and relaxation in the sight of such beautiful comforting surroundings.
I have very dry rough elbows. I had rubbed the silica from the buckets on my elbows thinking that a film of silica might smooth my elbows as it had smoothed the rough rocks. When I got out of the water and showered, rather than a coating on the elbow, my dry dead skin had softened and defoliated and my elbows were as smooth as the skin on a baby's face! I was stunned and could not believe the transformation in so few hours. I now keep them smooth like this with the Blue Lagoon Silica mud and Intensive cream!

I had the good luck to be in the area of the Blue Lagoon for 3 days in early March of this year....The weather was ghastly, but the Blue Lagoon was like being in a warm, southern part of the world...Imagine, in Iceland, a tropical paradise in the wilds of lava-covered mountains and flats....What a treat for a travel-worn body, seeking the revitalizing goodness from the internal waters of the Earth...I had the pleasure of three in-water massages, like no other I have ever received...The warmth of the waters, and the skill of the masseuses made for three heavenly, health-restoring sessions..
I brought one of each of your Blue Lagoon products home with me and use them constantly to remedy the cold/dry air of a Maine Winter...I long for the Blue Lagoon and hope to return some wonderful day...Thank you for this chance to tell you of my enjoyment...
Sincerely,
Helen "Puff" Uhlman
Our family of four, my husband Kevin, myself, and teenage sons James and Sean, had the pleasure of going to the Blue Lagoon several years ago. Although we only had a one-night stopover in Iceland on our way back from a visit to England and Scotland, we knew just how we wanted to spend our time. We had seen stories about the Blue Lagoon on television, and, after visiting the Blue Lagoon website to check it out, we knew that's where we wanted to go.
It was a late afternoon when we arrived. After a trip through the changing/shower rooms, I joined my guys on the other side and we quickly (it was cold outside) entered the beautiful warm waters. It felt absolutely wonderful, and to make it an even more amazing experience, a fog descended on the Lagoon and you could only see several feet ahead of you. It was magical! As I looked at my boys, I could see tiny crystals on their eyelashes, but they assured me they felt warm as could be! It was only because closing time came about that we forced ourselves to leave this luxurious warm water. We wandered through the Blue Lagoon Shop and brought several products to try at home.
Having had such a wonderful experience at the Blue Lagoon, we discussed getting a spa for our back porch on the flight back home to New York. We finally purchased one last summer, and we just love it. What makes it even better is that, after relaxing in our own hot tub, we can continue to use the wonderful Blue Lagoon products that we now purchase on-line. The intensive cream works wonders on dry skin, and we love the shampoos and body scrubs. The new line of facial products has been a great addition; we were most impressed after using them this past winter, which was particularly harsh and cold for New York. When I order from the Blue Lagoon website, I usually have my order within three days!
We look forward to making a return visit to the Blue Lagoon someday, but for now we have our wonderful memories of our brief time there, which we often talk about while soaking in our own spa. Visiting the Blue Lagoon was a unique and wonderful family experience that we will always remember!

During the day I am the manger of a medical engineering group. In this position I meet with many customers. It is embarrassing to have to shake hands with a customer especially if my hands are dry and chapped.
When I go home, nearly every night, I have to work on a car or do creative wood working. This makes my hands even rougher. I would go to hold hands with my wife she said more than once "dear your hands are very rough uck".
I tried a number of hand creams thinking I can by the ones at the local pharmacy and they should do the trick. These always lasted a very little while and immediately washed off so that my hands where dry again and continued with the roughness, redness, etc.
I mentioned this to a women here at work who let me try Blue Lagoon. I was skeptical at first. The hand cream turned out to be fantastic. What I like about Blue Lagoon hand cream is if you put it on before you go to bed it will last through a shower the next morning so that your hands continue to be soft and not chapped that entire day. Now when I go to shake hands with a customer or my wife I am not embarrassed. Thank-you Blue Lagoon for a wonderful product.

My partner had booked up a long weekend away for us to Iceland to celebrate both his birthday and my 30th birthday (25th February 08). We visited the Blue Lagoon on the Saturday and spent 5 or so hours soaking in the lagoon and it was brilliant!
So much so that my partner brought me several goodies from your spa shop, but also had a full-body massage booked for the Sunday as well!
We are back home now, and I wish the long weekend had been at least a week!!!
I can not wait to start using all your fantastic products!
Yours sincerely,
Bernice Sapple (U.K.)
I have returned from Iceland, my first trip ever to your country, on the 1st of September and I'm back in the office .....
I wanted to take a moment and thank you all of the Icelandic people from the bottom of my heart for making my experience in Iceland so special. My husband, daughter and I had booked and enjoyed wonderful spa treatments at the Blue Lagoon and the magnificent facilities. I truly can not say enough about Iceland. I have always known that it was a very special place simply from selling your destination but I had no idea to what extent until I actually had the opportunity to visit and experience it first hand myself. It was by far one of the best vacations my family and I ever had.
Also, I wanted to express to you how impressed I was with your country. You should be so very proud you are from Iceland and live in such a beautiful country. The Icelandic people were kind, honest and gentle. Iceland should be a global example for the rest of the world for honoring and preserving our precious environment and utilizing what God has given us. Iceland is so rich in so many ways and possesses so many natural God given gifts and the Icelandic people are very resourceful in tapping into these rich resources. The simple things you have and might take for granted, like truly clean TAP water, which is unheard of where I live, fantastic hot springs, full of healing properties and pure clean air, not to mention natural, healthy and very tasty cuisine, is more than many of us can even dream of here in the United States ....I was both amazed and extremely happy to know that places like Iceland still exist in this world.
I loved every minute I spend in Iceland and both my daughter and husband have not smiled or laughed as much as on this trip.
Thank you and all of your colleagues for making this trip so very special. I will make sure to promote and sell Iceland to all of my clients and the magical Blue Lagoon.
Million thanks!!!!!!!!
