“The whole day was truly magical. Straightforward collection and off we went to the Secret Lagoon. We arrived early before the crowds and it was lovely, unbelievably warm water and great fun. The tomato farm was fascinating and the food was all really tasty. We also got to meet some Icelandic horses. It was amazing to see the Geyser in real life and the Waterfall is spectacular. We were lucky to catch a beautiful rainbow there. The icing on the cake to our wonderful day was our guide Robert. He was friendly and funny, and the journeys between the stopping points passed by so quickly with his stories and information.…”

I was the only one wearing a westsuit to everyone else’s dry suit and I was kept pretty warm, except my feet. Going in January we were super lucky to not see too many people (well actually we had the whole place to ourselves, and we even had some sun!) I’m sorry I didn’t get our guides name but she was from Poland and so cool! Thanks! This mermaid really enjoyed herself!”
