Sky Lagoon has quickly become one of Iceland’s most famous geothermal spas. Unlike the Blue Lagoon, which is known for its bright blue waters, Sky Lagoon offers an infinity pool that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. The contrast of the warm geothermal waters against the chilly Icelandic air is an experience in itself. The Seven-Step Ritual includes a sauna with stunning views, cold plunges, steam rooms, body scrubs, and relaxation areas, creating a full wellness journey that prepares you for a night under the stars.
After your time at the lagoon, your adventure continues as guides take you away from city lights to chase the aurora borealis. The Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, are caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth’s atmosphere, creating colorful ribbons of light in the sky. Guides use weather and solar activity forecasts to select the best locations, whether along the coast, near national parks, or in secluded countryside areas. If the aurora is active, you will witness nature’s most breathtaking light show.
The best season for a Northern Lights and Sky Lagoon tour is from late September to early April, when nights are long and skies are dark. Tours typically depart in the evening, allowing enough time to relax in the lagoon before heading out to search for aurora activity.
This combination tour is perfect for travelers who want both relaxation and adventure in one evening. Couples often find it romantic, solo travelers appreciate the balance of wellness and exploration, and families or friends enjoy the chance to share such a unique memory together. It is also ideal for those with limited time in Iceland, as it combines two iconic experiences into one night.
