I'm almost certain I don't want to do the Blue Lagoon during my Iceland trip but the tours I looked at really push it on you and I checked their website and this is so fucking hysterical -
#like I get where you are coming from for all the people who wanna do relaxing spa and yoga stuff (which I don't. if I go i want to SWIM)#but also...try explaining to a 5 year old who spent the last day crammed in a plane for 7h that this is a otherworldly body of sacred water#'Kevin those Instagrammers are trying tp exierence a sense of wonder. and film it'#I think I might check out the secret lagoon#that looks a lot more fun

I‘ve been to iceland twice & the last time I went (like… 5-7 years ago) the blue lagoon was a pretty big let down. Its basically like any other public bath, except it has a fancier restaurant, expencive spa supplies shop & you might get a bathrobe for the stay. ( It is also definitely not a ‚swimming‘ pool). At least I don‘t remember too many screaming little children, but there were a few
The other time was when I was a literal child, so idk how much of the ‚way cooler back then‘ is just bc of that, but i remember it being far less commerical, way fewer people & still having a really cool ‚blue lagoon drink‘ (both boozy & not). So in comparison, the blue lagoon doesn’t feel quite that special today. The ‚otherworldly body of water‘ is mostly marketing.
I did visit the secret lagoon on the second trip & it was pretty cool (& imo better).

(but iirc‚ it had a far more ‚instagrammers‘ than a ‚5yo Kevin‘ vibe)#if you want to dip your toes into light blue water#there is like a runoff river near the public bath#(I can‘t believe I‘m ‚everything was better back then‘-ing a pool/spa)
