Fly to Iceland – Experience Icelandic nature
Iceland is famous for the beautiful nature. The volcanic island is full of hot springs, warmed by the geothermal activity, waterfalls and volcanic areas and lava fields. The Eldhraun lava field in the south of Iceland is the biggest lava flow in the world.
Book your trip to Iceland with SAS and take a bath in the famous hot spring the Blue lagoon. Go whale watching. Or see the popular natural wonders of the Golden circle; Geysir geyser, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir national park.
Icelandic culture
Explore Reykjavik’s art and music scene while you’re in the city or pay a visit to one of the city’s museums. Or take a dip in one of the city’s many swimming pools.
You might want to try some Icelandic food while visiting; fermented shark for the daring and hot dogs for the rest. Wash it down with a locally brewed beer.
Cool down with a local ice cream – Icelandic's are big on ice cream.
Don’t forget to buy a hand knitted Icelandic sweater to bring home.
Tips for a smooth trip to Iceland
Plan ahead and allow for some extra time
Make sure you keep track of your departure time and identify your check in terminal. You can check in online via our website or in the SAS app up to 30 hours before your departure time. It may sound obvious, but it’s always best to arrive a little early rather than being stressed. This is especially true during the summer or other popular vacation times.
Pack smart
Check our baggage rules and restrictions when it comes to baggage. Make sure your ticket type contains the right amount of baggage for what you intend to bring. Please remember that adding bags to our website or SAS App is always cheaper than doing it in person at the airport.
Stay up-to-date
Be sure to regularly check for any updates regarding your flight, such as for example gate changes. Keep an eye on your SAS flight status or download the SAS App for the latest updates.
OCTOBER 2022
Icelanders have enjoyed the health-promoting properties of hot springs ever since the very first people arrived on the island.
Reykjadalur
A few kilometers east of Reykjavik and a half hour hike north from the town of Hveragerdi is a small valley where the hot springs heat the cold Reykjadalsa stream that flows down from the mountains. On the way, you will pass springs that are too hot to bathe in, so beware.
Blue Lagoon
No list of Icelandic baths is complete without the Blue Lagoon. Tourist trap or not, you shouldn’t miss the experience of floating around in the steamy, milky turquoise waters, surrounded by lava rocks as black as coal. The water’s beneficial properties are well documented and the geothermal mud from the baths is also sold in skin care products.

Krossneslaug
These inaccessible outdoor baths in the northern Westfjords also boast one of Iceland’s most spectacular views of the Atlantic waves as they crash over black lava rock. Krossneslaug was built in the 1950s by local farmers and takes its water from the nearby hot springs. The unstaffed baths are open 24 hours a day, with an honesty box for the entrance charge.
Sundhöllin
Reykjavik’s oldest baths are also the city’s nicest. From its two warm outdoor pools, you can look out over the city as you soak in 39 and 42 degree waters. Tired legs and aching backs will enjoy being massaged by the underwater jets. The recently renovated baths also have a 25m pool and a steam room.
Laugardalslaug
By far Reykjavik’s best bathing facilities are to be found at Laugardalslaug. Not only does it have Iceland’s largest swimming pool, but you can also swim all year round in its heated outdoor pools. There are also seven “hot pots”, a saltwater bath, an 86m-long water slide, a hot tub, steam room, sun lamps, a gym, and a spa.
