Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most popular attractions, and it’s little wonder as to why. The beautiful milky-blue water is unlike anything else found on earth and makes a stark contrast to the surrounding black lava fields and creeping grey moss. The water sits at 39°C (102°F) year-round, making it the perfect bathing temperature. The lagoon is on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland, a region renowned for its barren landscapes and cone-shaped volcanoes. Due to its excellent location, soothing waters, and rich skin nourishment, the Blue Lagoon quickly became Iceland’s most visited attraction, rivaled only by the Golden Circle sightseeing route.
Cost of this optional experience at the thermal mineral waters of the Blue Lagoon is $137.97 per person.
Susan Alvarez , West Covina, CA - Such a wonderful trip..beautiful scenery and delicious food and our guide Betsey was the best.
Pam Doffek , Tallahassee, FL - This was one of the most enjoyable Craftours I've taken. Our tour host Betsy Martinson made things smooth and she was "on" all the details. The time allocated to places visited was the least rushed I've felt. As a Foodie tour it hit all the right spots. As a tourist I felt I went to the high points of Iceland, but was able to take advantage of some serendipitous moments.
Monica Francis , Whittier, CA - Iceland was one of the best trips I have ever taken. The culinary tour was spectacular and Craftours should do more of them. Betsy was the absolute best!!!!
Diana Przybysz , Glen Burnie, MD - Not having done a tour of any kind before, I didn't really know what to expect. Let me say that I've been blown away by my Craftour experience! It was everything it promised it would be and my dream vacation. I feel like I saw everything Iceland had to offer. I really appreciated the local tour guide's knowledge, the driver's professionalism, and the warmth and kindness of the Craftour guide. I really feel lucky that my first tour was a Craftour. I will be back again for sure! Thank you!
Estelle Vareilles , Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois, France - It was great to be in Iceland with other fellow knitters. The balance between sightseeing and knitting classes were perfect. Tanis Grey is an amazing teacher and a wonderful person, always available and very generous. I enjoyed the beauty of Iceland, their culture of wool and knitting and I love the atmosphere of the group. I'm doing a lot of Tours and this one is certainly in my top ones. Thank you.
Bonnie Frey , Lacy, WA - For me it was better than I could have imagined. I have not one negative thing to say. I loved all the people involved, the mix of those attending, the instruction, the food, and the tours themselves were outstanding.
Phyllis Schicker , Johnson Creek, WI - I very much enjoyed the Iceland Experience. This was my 4th Craftours trip. I always like that there is both sightseeing and learning about the area we visit and an ample amount of time spent on the craft (knitting or crocheting) and yarn shopping. And there is also some free time for exploring on our own. Thank you for another great tour experience.
Kathy Durance, Sooke, Canada - "Amazing trip. A nice blend of specialty (knitting) & traditional 'normal' tourist excursions."
Angela Jenkins, Midlothian, VA - "Overall, the trip was wonderful. I met a number of great people and Iceland is the most beautiful place I have ever traveled."

Kelly Mathern, Manakin Sabot, VA - "A great way to see Iceland and learn about the fiber industry."
Dorothy Rezac, Prairie Village, KS - "The tour was excellent. It was so refreshing to see so many beautiful sites and to hear how progressive the country is. The photographic insight and tips were helpful even to me as a novice."
Susan Downing, Lake Villa, IL - "The country is beautiful, the picture that can be captured don’t do it justice!"
