Admission to Geosea Geothermal Sea Baths in Husavik

The bathhouses are thoughtfully designed to blend with the rugged coastline: simple timber decking, whisper-quiet stones, and unobstructed views of the water merging into the horizon. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel genuine Icelandic hospitality—from the warm welcome at reception to the staff’s ready smile as they guide you through changing rooms and lockers. Everything here is carefully arranged to ensure your visit feels effortless and personal.

The real star of the show, of course, is the geothermal seawater itself. Drawn from a depth of 2,300 meters beneath the earth’s surface, this gently mineralized water is heated to a perfect 38–40 °C before flowing into the large outdoor pool. As you float weightlessly, the warmth penetrates deep into your muscles, melting away tension. Slip over to the infinity edge, and you’re greeted by a dramatic panorama: rugged cliffs, fishing boats bobbing gently on the waves, and—on clear days—the snow-capped peaks of the Tröllaskagi Peninsula in the distance.

One of favorite moments is arriving just as the sun dips low in the sky during winter. The Arctic light turns the sea to liquid gold, and if you’re lucky, the northern lights will appear in vibrant green and purple ribbons overhead. From the warmth of the pool, you feel cocooned in comfort yet intimately connected to the wild Icelandic night. In summer, the sun barely sets, and bathing under the midnight sun is an almost surreal experience—time seems to stand still as the sky glows in soft pastels.

Beyond the pools, Geosea offers a cozy indoor area where you can dry off and enjoy a hot Icelandic peppermint tea or a local craft beer. The lounge overlooks the sea, too, so you can continue admiring the view even if the breeze is bracing. Many visitors pair their visit with whale-watching tours in Húsavík—just a short walk from Geosea—or with a hearty meal at one of our harbor-side restaurants serving freshly caught cod and Arctic char.

For those traveling with family, Geosea is wonderfully inclusive. Children love dipping their toes in the cooler kiddie pool, and parents can relax knowing that lifeguards are on duty during peak hours. Accessibility is also well considered: there’s a gentle ramp leading into the main pool and spacious changing facilities. It’s a rare treat to find such a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty in one place.
