10 Essential Tips for Visiting the Blue Lagoon: The 7th Will Help You Avoid 90% of Tourists

3. Pre-Visit Preparation Tips

Your whole experience can be much improved by careful preparation before your Blue Lagoon trip. Start well 24 hours before your visit since steam and hot water can be somewhat dehydrating. At least 48 hours before your visit, avoid shaving or waxing; the mineral-rich water may irritate delicate skin. Bring waterproof bandages to cover open wounds or cuts you may have.

Think carefully about when you eat; a small dinner around two hours before your appointment is best. Before swimming in the lagoon, take off any metal jewellery since some metals could be affected by the silica-rich water. Bring a case and solution if you wear contact lenses; it's advised to take them off before swimming. Before you visit the site, learn about the locations of the several pools, eateries, and changing rooms.
