Stay dry underneath your drysuit or, for the more adventurous, choose a wetsuit to feel the natural cool waters.

What people are saying about Capital Region of Iceland

Our guide Karen was brilliant and our driver Milan was very good. Karen knew everything about everything! She was full of information about the things we saw and passed by, and she was funny. We learned much about Iceland and the things we stopped to see were interesting. The most exciting for me was seeing where the two tectonic plates meet. Even though the weather was foggy and rainy at times during the day it just seemed to authenticate the whole Icelandic experience. I was glad that I had brought crampons as it was slippery and icy on some stretches and would advice others to bring them when visiting in the winter. We finished the day at Sky Lagoon which I definitely recommend every body tries! The 7 step spa was lovely and the view from the lagoon and sauna amazing! A really good day!

This was an amazing tour and such an easy way to see so much of iceland. Our tour guide Tom was great and knew so much about the history of iceland. He showed us round the national park and explained how it was formed. We had plenty of time at each destination and he even stopped off so we could have a drink and a slice of cake. Overall great experience and 100% recommend.

Excellent. Blue lagoon well worth trip. Bus driver was also fantastic! Gardrune (I can’t spell it - tour bus 5 on 17th of Feb!) you are brilliant.

The whole time we were there was a fantastic experience would definitely recommend to anyone visiting this wonderful country

Fantastic day. Beautiful amenities clean and comfortable. Well worth the money!
