Would highly recommend the bread baking tour! It is interesting to learn about the hot springs in the area and how they harness them to cook bread. The tour is very thorough and then concludes with the ability to taste the bread alongside Icelandic butter and cured trout -- all of which were delicious!

We just did the 4 pm bread making tour today and had a blast (despite it being rainy). The tour guide, Vlad, was informative and kind. I even got to help dig the bread out of the banks on the lake. The bread is sweet and delicious with Icelandic butter and smoked trout. A real treat!

2 of the 3 steam rooms were outside temp (like a dank Pirttburgh cellar), these were "recommended today". The third was blazing hot but steamy. We did you see anyone last more than 90 seconds. The Finnish sauna wouldn't get over 60C and the window is boarded over with plywood. The hot tubs were fine and enjoyable.

We spent an afternoon at the Laugarvatn Fontana geothermal baths. There we booked a guided tour to bake bread in the ground using the natural geothermal heat. From the online description and what I had seen on the TV show "Down To Earth with Zac Efron", I was expecting more of a hands-on experience but it turned out to be just a demonstration. However, the bread and butter was delicious. The facility housed two steam rooms and multiple baths of various sizes and temperatures, all using water coming from the natural hot springs. The website information and gallery made it look like a tranquil spa-like oasis, but that’s not the experience we had there. I was surprised at how many small children were being loud and splashing around in the pools like it was a waterpark. Neither of us could find the towels either, so we were drip-drying until we asked someone. Turns out you have to pay to rent towels! That fact was also omitted from the booking website, which shows multiple photos of adult couples holding towels, wrapped in robes (which you could also rent) and enjoying the serene environment. The redeeming quality of Laugarvatn was the lunch. Their soup and bread bar was quite delicious. The raucous nature of the pools combined with the exorbitant $8 fee to rent a singular towel makes this a place I would not return or recommend.

The flavor of the bread after digging in out of the ground is unforgettable. Our tour was really kind and patient with our children and was a true credit to the bakery and Iceland in general. The spa itself was amazing and overlooks the water. Nothing could be more serene.

We visited this place while passing by with a tour. It was very cool and the storytelling about the place was very interesting also. I would have enjoyed a freshly baked bread but I guess you would need to wait for quite some time before it would be done. But still the whole idea seemed very cool. Also be careful with the water it is boiling hot in some places so just look before touching the water if there are bubbles.

My friends and I did the bread experience where we tried rye bread fresh from underground geothermal ovens. The bread by itself… good! The bread with butter… amazing!! The bread with butter AND smoked trout… MIND BLOWING!!! Doing the bread tour is a must when visiting Iceland!! You will not regret it.

Amazing tour and such an interesting location. The guides were both informative and entertaining. The scenery was spectacular. Short zip off the main road to other golden circle attractions. Highly recommend you add this to your day!

Magdalene was an absolute amazing tour guide. Great experience. Highly recommend stopping in and taking the tour. Such a beautiful place!

A very interesting house surrounded by cooled lava. This is how people used to live. Sigga, thank you for the informative and humorous guide. For anyone reading this and going to Iceland, visit is a must to do.

I came here four years ago and it was closed. I am so pleased that it is under new ownership committed to expanded hours and season, enthusiastic and engaging in their tour, and focused on a plan of preservation and restoration. This is the first historic Icelandic home I cannot imagine living in—never mind having three small children in! And two horses, a cow, and some sheep. Were the early residents actually time traveling hippies? They were certainly resilient! Anyhow, go! You will not regret it.

We visited the Caves of Laugarvatn on a rainy day, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! The caves were fascinating to explore, and even with the weather, it felt magical inside. My kids absolutely loved the adventure — wandering through the tunnels, seeing the unique rock formations, and imagining all the stories the caves could tell. It was a great family experience, and the rain didn’t stop us from enjoying every moment. Highly recommended, especially if you’re traveling with children!

We had an excellent experience at the Caves of Laugarvatn. The guides were really warm and welcoming, the wait for the tour was minimal, and we were even offered coffee while waiting. It’s a convenient and worthwhile stop in the Golden Circle route — highly recommended!

A great experience! 2 very friendly brothers run the tour. We showed on a whim and they fit us in right away. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable, and shared interesting stories about hidden people, the caves’ former inhabitants, the rock formations and design of the caves, and more! Highly recommended.

Enjoy the scenic variety, first from the middle lake Laugarvatn on a paddle board and then from the warm healing waters at Fontana spa. Was very windy but very funny experience

We went caving in a Lava tube, my wife and two kids (15 and 13 years old). It was definitely a fun adventure. The tour guide Smári was great. He was very knowledge, safe and personable. He made sure we took it slow and had a great time. The scenery and experience were unique. I highly recommend. The owners were very flexible. We were scheduled to paddle board but it was too windy so we just easily switched plans for the day.

We had an amazing cave tour with Smári through Gjábakkahellir. It was a really incredible experience and we learnt so much at the same time. Would highly recommend using this company.

Very nice tour and a really good guide. Thx for the amazing tour.
