Things to do and see in or near our home in Hafnarfjörður
Newly opened and very nice lagoon with a great ocean view only 15 min drive. Have to book in advance. Recommend to buy Pure Pass or Sky Pass because with both of them you get access to the seven step ritual (i.e. sauna with an ocean view). FYI the lagoon is only for 12 years and older.

The Blue Lagoon is on the way from the airport to our house. You have to book tickets in advance (bluelagoon.com). Make sure your head doesn’t go underwater, or else your hair will feel like wool.
