Best hot springs we...
Best hot springs we visited out of 3! The natural atmosphere of this one was the best experience! Go early to avoid crowds. As we were leaving your buses were pulling up.

DARE to plunge into Whales Fjord at the base of Hvammsvik
We drove to and booked directly with Hvammsvik hot spring. We had lunch first at the Stormur Bistro which is right off lobby. The food was DELICIOUS! The servers were very distracted and kept engaging with each other instead of taking orders and seeing if guests needed anything. The front desk staff wanted us to order our experience online, even though we were standing right there....the staff seemed all around not really pleasant. The hot spring and the energy of the people there was the complete opposite! We met and heard travelers talking about visiting from Greenland and beyond. The walk up bar at the top pool is brilliant. We took a dip in all of these springs...even the ocean plunge! Talk about rejuvenation-you go from a cold plunge into the majestic rectangle cedar sauna with clear glass view of Whales fjord - off the Atlantic. This was one of THE most unique aquatic experiences I've ever had.
Response from the operator: Dear Twinkiehimalayan, Thank you for visiting Hvammsvík Hot Springs and for taking the time to share your feedback with us and the Tripadvisor community. I am delighted to learn that you enjoyed your meal at Stormur Bistro, the geothermal pools, ocean bathing experience, swim-up bar, and the unique setting of Hvammsvík. It is wonderful to hear that you found it to be one of the most memorable aquatic experiences of your travels. I am sorry, however, that aspects of your interactions with our team did not meet your expectations. We appreciate you highlighting this and will take your comments into consideration as we continue to review and improve the guest experience. Thank you again for your review and recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Hvammsvík in the future. Warm regards, Hilmar Hvammsvík Hot Springs

Wonderful hot springs
Wonderful experience, lovely hot springs, cold plunge sauna and steam room, with nice products in the shower. Even got to take a plunge in the seawater!

Highly recommend
As a local who frequently visit lagoons I highly recommend Hvammsvík. The nature around is stunning and the water is just delightful. It’s a bit more rusty than many lagoons but that honestly is just part of the appeal. I have been there multiple times and it’s always been pleasant.
Response from the operator: Dear sarayvonne, Thank you for visiting Hvammsvík Hot Springs and for taking the time to share your feedback with us and the Tripadvisor community. I am especially delighted to receive such kind words from a local guest who has experienced many of Iceland's geothermal bathing destinations. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoy the stunning natural surroundings, the geothermal waters, and the authentic character that makes Hvammsvík unique. We are incredibly grateful for your continued support and delighted to know that each of your visits has been a pleasant one. Thank you again for your review, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Hvammsvík many more times in the future. Warm regards, Hilmar Hvammsvík Hot Springs

Beautiful hot springs but should be phone free
Versus other springs nearer to Reykjavik, hvammsvik is a good price. There's multiple pools of different temperatures and sizes so lots of choice. Including an ocean plunge pool outside the sauna and you can even go directly into the sea (ps, it's very cold!) We arrived at opening time 10.30 and it didn't feel too busy. By leaving at 1, the pools were much busier but not overcrowded. We bought the comfort package (most expensive) and got swim shoes (useful as it's rocky between some pools) and a towel. You also had separate changing rooms to the basic package but still had to change in a public female locker room. Lockers are very big, you'll fit all you need. Lost a point because I highly believe it should be a phone free experience. There were lots of people taking photos of the pools with you in them which made me feel uncomfortable. No respect for privacy. Then there's also wannabe influencers spending all their time having their boyfriends snap 100s of photos of them in the most scenic spots, making me move a few times so as not to be in shot. Ruined the calming atmosphere for me
Response from the operator: Dear 13abigaill, Thank you for visiting Hvammsvík Hot Springs and for taking the time to share your feedback with us and the Tripadvisor community. I am delighted to learn that you enjoyed the variety of geothermal pools, the ocean bathing experience, and the overall value and atmosphere during your visit. It's wonderful to hear that you found the springs beautiful and appreciated the different temperatures and settings available. I am sorry, however, that the use of mobile phones by some guests detracted from your experience and affected the sense of relaxation and privacy you were hoping for. We appreciate you highlighting this and will take your comments into consideration as we continue to review the guest experience and how best to balance personal photography with the comfort of all visitors. Thank you again for your review, and we hope to welcome you back to Hvammsvík in the future. Warm regards, Hilmar Hvammsvík Hot Springs

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hvammsvík Hot Springs Admission Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Hvammsvík Hot Springs Admission Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $82 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hvammsvík Hot Springs Admission Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Hvammsvík Hot Springs Admission Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 138 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hvammsvík Hot Springs Admission Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hvammsvík Hot Springs Admission Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hvammsvík Hot Springs Admission Ticket?
+
Around 48 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hvammsvík Hot Springs Admission Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
