Order of booking
The Blue Lagoon states that pre-booking is essential and that visits are in timed slots. The transfer comes second: choose the lagoon slot, then a bus that fits it. The lagoon is about 20 minutes from the airport and 45 from Reykjavík, which is why it is a common first or last stop. Plan about 2 hours or more at the lagoon. Guests leave the water 30 minutes before closing.
Prices at the lagoon
On 6 November 2026 the official ticket prices were Comfort from ISK 12,990, Premium from ISK 15,990 and Signature from ISK 19,990. Comfort includes a towel, a silica mud mask and one drink; Premium adds a bathrobe, two more masks and a take-home mask; Signature adds a second drink and skin-care products. The bus transfer is separate from these prices. The full comparison with the Sky Lagoon is in Blue Lagoon tickets.
Using the Flybus
The Flybus runs between Keflavík and Reykjavík, stops at BSÍ and offers hotel drop-off. The booking widget showed ISK 3,999 for one adult with default settings. Your ticket includes two bags of up to 23 kg each. The operator's page does not describe a direct Blue Lagoon route, so for the lagoon use the transfer in the table or read Flybus Keflavik and Keflavik Airport to Reykjavik. For the whole range of airport options see Iceland airport transfer.
Driving
By car the lagoon is reached by road 426 from road 43 or 425, on the Reykjanes peninsula. Rental options are in Iceland car rental and Keflavik airport car rental. A car collected at the airport also serves the rest of the peninsula, covered in Reykjanes peninsula.
Hours and eruptions
Official hours read on 6 November 2026: 1 January to 31 May 08:00 to 20:00 and 21 August to 31 December 08:00 to 22:00. The Reykjanes peninsula has seen a series of eruptions since December 2023, the latest starting on 16 July 2025; the Blue Lagoon has stayed open between volcanic events, but lava flows have reached the access roads and caused closures and evacuations. Check bluelagoon.com and the road status before you set out.
From Reykjavík instead
If you stay in Reykjavík, the package with admission and transfer from Reykjavik Excursions was ISK 16,989 for Comfort admission, and the separate transfer is covered in Reykjavik to Blue Lagoon transfer.
Mistakes to avoid
- Booking the transfer before the lagoon slot: the slots are timed.
- Assuming the Flybus goes to the lagoon: the operator's page describes the Keflavík to Reykjavík route.
- Leaving no margin on departure day: guests leave the water 30 minutes before closing and a visit takes about 2 hours or more.
- Ignoring eruption news: closures and evacuations have happened.
