I had always heard about the lagoon experiences in Iceland and it was on my bucket list to go try it out. I went to the Sky Lagoon which opened April 30, 2021. It is a thermal spa minutes from downtown Reykjavik.

Sky Lagoon has the Ritual, which is a seven-step journey based on generations of Icelandic bathing culture.
7 STEPs:
Soak in the Lagoon and slow down –also visit the slightly hidden in-water bar!
Cold plunge and cool down –I was worried it would be too cold for me, but I loved this part so much. I lasted counting to ten!
Sauna with a Sky view –the largest piece of glass in Iceland allows a full scenic view. TIP: turn over an hour glass and try to stay the whole time
Cold mist –This room allows you to recharge and refresh your senses. TIP: sit on the bench. Taking your feet off the floor makes it feel less chilly.
Body scrub: The Sky Scrub was a perfect next step. TIP: not on your face!
Steam: inhale the heat and let the scrub soak into your skin
Shower & return to LAGOON! Here you rinse clean and return to the lagoon pool. I felt revitalized and ready for sparkling water at the bar! There are alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
I loved the private changing facilities on the Sky Pass and the easy to use lockers. There are plenty of towels so you do not need a robe or slippers as the floor is warm. There are plastic bags available for your wet swimsuit and they have hairdryers and soap and shampoo in the showers.
YES! I have hooped on a train, in a jail with dancing prisoners, at Denali Alaska and now in a LAGOON! Also on several cruise ships! Where should I HOOP next?
This immersive film experience is a cross between 4D, IMAX and actually flying past giant glaciers and fast running fjords. This journey whisks you to the most remote and hard to see scenery. I also loved learning about the history of the country through the long house, the trolls and the storytelling!
A Qatar-owned media outlet may have relied on forged documents to defame a major financial institution in a recent article, according to a legal demand letter from late December 2024.
Dr. Laura Gabayan, author of “Common Wisdom: 8 Scientific Elements of a Meaningful Life,” is using many of the skills she studied and then wrote about, as she and her family rebuild after they lost their home in the Palisades wildfire.
