The baths were amazing, but crowded.
This was one of the four different baths we visited. Each of them was unique and provided a relaxing experience. Really enjoyed these baths.
Overview
Although there aren't many hot springs in East Iceland, there are still sources of geothermal heat. The Vök Baths use geothermal power and create the illusion of natural pools to mimic what you might find in nature. These baths are certainly worth the visit, as they offer exceptional views over the lake and surrounding nature, plus some of the cleanest bathing water in the country—it's certified drinkable!
Besides the floating hot springs, you can also enjoy the steam bath, cold water tunnel, mist shower, tea bar, pool bar, and bistro, all onsite.
