The lagoon is one of the oldest natural geothermal swimming pools in Iceland and surrounded by several hot springs.\u00a0 One of them is called little Geysir and it erupts every few minutes. Another one is called Va\u00f0m\u00e1lshver where the locals used to wash their laundry. The temperature of the lagoon is between 36-40\u00b0C\/97-104\u00b0F. We stop at the lagoon for approximately two hours that gives time for light refreshments and\/or bath. Admission fee to the lagoon and a towel is included in the price, but remember to bring a bathing suit. Lunch stop on the way (lunch not included in the price). We either start or finish at the Secret Lagoon.<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-14\" class=\"mk-text-block \"><\/div>\r\n<h1 id=\"padding-15\" class=\"mk-padding-divider clearfix\">Details<\/h1>\r\n<div class=\"wpb_row vc_inner vc_row vc_row-fluid attched-false vc_custom_1478705963752 \">\r\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-16\" class=\"mk-text-block listi_letur_staerd\">\r\n\r\n<strong>Location:<\/strong>\u00a0South Iceland\r\n\r\n<strong>Duration:<\/strong>\u00a08 -8.5 hours\r\n\r\n<strong>Departures:<\/strong>\u00a010:30 AM every day.
