Blue Lagoon Tours & Transfers Compared

Getting to the Blue Lagoon is part of the decision. Depending on whether you have a car, when you’re going, and what else you want to see, one of these options will fit best.

Quick answer

• Have a rental car? Admission only.
• No car, going from Reykjavík or the airport? Transfer + admission.

• Arriving or leaving Iceland that day? An airport transfer with a Blue Lagoon stop.

Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to go to the Blue Lagoon on your own? If you already have a rental car, admission-only is usually the lowest cost. Without a car, a transfer package is often better value than arranging private transport.

Can you visit the Blue Lagoon on the way from the airport? Yes — its location between Keflavík and Reykjavík makes it a natural arrival or departure stop, and several transfers are built around exactly that.
