GeoSea sjóbaðanna
Fee required
Discover Geosea, a world-class geothermal sea bath in Húsavík, offering mineral-rich waters, stunning views of Skjálfandi Bay, and unique health benefits.

🌊 Geosea Geothermal Sea Baths offers a unique experience where you can soak in warm, mineral-rich seawater, naturally heated by the earth.
✨ Located just north of Húsavík, this spot has been a local secret for centuries, known for its therapeutic properties, especially for skin conditions like psoriasis.
🌡️ The water maintains a comfortable temperature of 38°-39°C, and its continuous flow from two drillholes ensures it's always clean without any added chemicals.

Why Go
