Reykjanes is a geothermal peninsula that makes up the southwestern tip of Reykjanesskagi in Iceland. The name of this UNESCO Global Geopark means smoking peninsula’ and the other-worldly landscape is filled with moss covered lava fields, volcanic craters, caves and hot springs. Iceland’s Keflavik International Airport is located in this region, 50 kilometre southwest of Reykjavik. Blue Lagoon is a geothermal Spa fed by steaming hot waters from the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power station. Awarded by the prestigious Blue Flag certification for environmental sustainability for ten consecutive years, explore a massive complex of silvery towers, changing rooms, restaurants, sauna and bar, dotted with hot-pots and steam rooms. Swim in the warm seawater as you soak up the natural beauty of the surroundings and breathe in the crisp, clean air. The complex also houses a hotel, if you’re planning on an overnight visit.

What Our Guests Say
“We had a wonderful experience with Enchanting Travels. The planning is excellent, and we never had to deal with unexpected problems. We will be excited to go on our next Enchanting Travels adventure.”
September 2023 Rating 5/5
“This was my second trip with Enchanting Travels. It is such a wonderful experience. Relieves much of the stress of functioning in a foreign country.”
December 2023 Rating 5/5
“From start to finish, working with Enchanting Travels allowed me to be bolder in planning a family vacation this year. As a solo adult traveling with children, having a team available to support me in the planning and execution of the trip made the experience feel more approachable. It also allowed me to build on their knowledge of the area instead of the area.”
August 2023 Rating 5/5
“Our contact Elena, responded right away to any questions we had. The sky lagoon experience was great. Our hotel accommodations in the middle of the city was within walking distance of everything.”
March 2023 Rating 5/5
“The Iceland trip was great. Great itinerary with great excursions and nice hotels. Breakfast included really is nice. Ben, trip support coordinator, was accessible and helpful.”
March 2023 Rating 4/5
“As the kids have grown into adults, time together is harder to find so being able to establish a shared agenda with common interests was fantastic. As noted, we wanted to see Iceland in the winter and experience the Northern Lights, while making the most of the short time we had. The experience and expertise of Enchanting Travels helps make that possible and the care and attention of Divya makes it as close to a worry-free experience as possible.”
