Blue Lagoon Transfer Schedule
Reykjavik Excursions provides exceptional flexibility for Blue Lagoon tours. You can board the bus at the BSÍ Bus Terminal in downtown Reykjavík, enjoy all that the Blue Lagoon has to offer, and catch a convenient ride back to Reykjavík when you're done. The drive takes appr. 45 minutes between the BSI and Blue Lagoon, and an additional 30 minutes if you select the hotel pick-up.
Our schedule is aligned with the Blue Lagoon's opening hours, and we adapt it frequently due to the exciting volcanic activity in the area. Typically, there are 3 to 4 departures daily from Reykjavík, with a return trip scheduled four hours later from the Blue Lagoon back to the capital.
We also offer an early departure from Keflavík Airport to the Blue Lagoon, specially designed for those arriving in the early morning who can't check in to their hotels until the afternoon. The Blue Lagoon provides convenient luggage lockers, allowing you to relax in the soothing waters and enjoy your first morning in Iceland without the hassle of carrying your bags around while waiting for check-in. After bathing in the lagoon, continue your trip towards the capital with a convenient drop-off in the city center.
Here is our current schedule, valid from 1st of December 2024.
Please note that we will keep you informed via email and text message regarding any schedule changes.

Relax and Enjoy!
Surrounded by a mossy green lava field, the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is a truly otherworldly experience. The lagoon is indeed blue with a floor covered in silica mud, which is incredibly healing and soothing for the skin. What was originally a pool of wastewater from a geothermal plant, soon became a national hit as Icelanders started bathing in the water and applying the wholesome mud. Now a luxurious spa, the Blue Lagoon is a glorious destination that still retains its beautiful natural atmosphere and surroundings. Treat your senses to unforgettable moments in the Blue Lagoon and let your mind and body rejoice in this relaxed and wholesome setting.
