Secret Lagoon Hot Spring

"Iceland's Secret Lagoon is a natural hot spring located in the village of Fludir, in southwestern Iceland. The lagoon's waters are heated by underground geothermal activity, which creates a unique and relaxing bathing experience for visitors. As Iceland's oldest swimming pool, the Secret Lagoon offers a glimpse into the country's history and culture, and is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Iceland's geothermal wonders PS: It also has on-site geysers and troll houses! Icelandic troll houses, also known as "Huldufólk" houses, are small and often whimsical structures that are believed to be homes for Iceland's hidden people or trolls. According to Icelandic folklore, the trolls are supernatural beings that live in rocks, caves, and other natural formations. These houses are typically made of stone and are often found in remote areas of the country, nestled among Iceland's stunning natural landscapes. While many Icelanders do not necessarily believe in the existence of trolls, the tradition of building these tiny houses continues to thrive, serving as a testament to Iceland's rich folklore and cultural heritage.

"After snowmobiling, we was taken to our next stop which was the “Secret Lagoon”. This lagoon was very different than the Blue Lagoon which is more popular by tourism. At this lagoon, I got more of a feel for a historic lagoon that looks like it’s been there for thousand of years. Even walking around in the lagoon, the floor was full of lava rocks. This excursion I recommend for anyone who doesn’t mind going from extreme cold to hot. I also recommend it to anyone who doesn’t mind the long day since this excursion last 10 hours. "
