Day 1
Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is Iceland's most famous geothermal spa, a surreal milky-blue pool surrounded by black lava fields on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The mineral-rich silica and algae waters maintain a year-round temperature of around 38°C and are celebrated for their skin-rejuvenating properties. Located just 20 minutes from Keflavík International Airport, it's an unmissable first or last stop on any Iceland trip.

Day 6
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is Iceland's largest and deepest glacial lake, a stunning expanse of deep blue water filled with icebergs calved from the retreating Breiðamerkurjökull glacier on the south coast. Electric-blue and white icebergs of extraordinary shapes drift slowly to the sea, stranding on the adjacent Diamond Beach where they sparkle against the black volcanic sand. Guided boat and kayak tours weave between the icebergs for an intimate encounter with this awe-inspiring landscape.

Diamond Beach is a dramatic black sand beach on Iceland's south coast adjacent to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where chunks of glacial ice wash ashore and glitter like diamonds. The crystal-clear blue-white ice sculptures create an otherworldly scene against jet-black sand. Seals often rest on the ice blocks. Diamond Beach is one of Iceland's most photographed natural wonders, especially beautiful at sunrise when light catches the crystalline ice.
