Best tour! - Amazing tour! Olgeir Ragnarsson was so knowledgeable about the area and as a local, had so many stories to tell about the area and what growing up there was like. The baths were incredible- serene and quiet and private. Definitely a must.

Husafell Canyon Bath! Magic! - It was a beautiful experience soaking in such a volcanic canyon. Olger, our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. He took photos for our family as well. Definitely recommend!

Ask for Olgeir! - This tour was so special-our family of 4 will have memories that last a lifetime! Olgeir gives you freedom to choose how you divide your time during the 2-hr window. His knowledge of the area, as a local whose family traces back 30 generations, was worth 3 times the price of admission! The adults loved sipping cold IPAs in the hot pool and our teenage boys loved going back and forth to the river for cold plunges. We hope to be fortunate enough to return someday! So grateful that the Husafell family shares this unforgettable treasure.

Phenomenal - Absolutely MOST magical experience on our honeymoon thus far. We enjoyed this far more than the Blue Lagoon. Far less crowded, beautiful scenery, great host. Such an authentic experience. The price for this where we’re from would be double. We were just blown away!

Hidden gem in Husafell area - A lovely place which includes a guided tour in Husafell area. Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. Canyon baths is a real hidden gem. A small group which perfectly fits for the size of the pools. We loved it! If only we could stay a bit longer to enjoy it!

Must do experience - This is such an amazing hidden gem in Iceland. Our guide Olgeir was great! He was very passionate and informative about the land and geography around us - it was super interesting. The baths are relaxing and warm with beautiful views. I wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Highlight of our trip - Soaking in the warm pool in the snowy canyon was a truly incredible experience and one I won’t forget! A highlight of our trip. Our guide Olgeir was brilliant - very friendly, kind and helpful, offering me an arm to help me down the icy path to get to the baths. He shared lots of interesting info about the canyon, the baths and the hotel, and then left us some time to relax. Towels & crampons were provided and we were able to purchase a glass of wine to enjoy in the baths too! Would highly recommend, a magical experience and so peaceful.

What a Great Experience! - Since the Blue Lagoon was closed, we were steered to the Canyon Baths by the Tourist Bureau - and it was a superb experience! Very private, very scenic and wonderfully relaxing. There won't be busloads of people here - I believe the maximum is 15 at once - so book this nearly private tour and enjoy! We would definitely recommend this to anyone headed to Iceland!

Get ready to enjoy yourself in a hurry! - Unique experience, but way to rushed, we did not get enough time in the pool. The leave from the parking lot a the hotel every 2 hours so you will have to be back with the driver for the next departure in time, we did not get enough time to enjoy this beautiful place.
