Instead of Blue Lagoon...
The artificial Blue Lagoon is on everyone’s Iceland bucket list partly because it’s conveniently located between the airport and the city. But it’s also expensive, and so crowded that tickets are timed. Meanwhile, Secret Lagoon is a natural hot spring in a geothermal area close to the Golden Circle route. Admission is a fraction the cost of the Blue Lagoon, and kids under age 15 get in free. Explore the area to find the tiny geyser, but stay on the boardwalks to avoid burning yourself. The ground is literally boiling hot.
