You can take cameras and phones into the lagoon and the water is shallow enough you can always walk through with them in hand easily enough. I got a little water in my phone and a warning came up that I couldn't charge it for a few hours afterwards, but after that it was totally fine.
Are swim suits required at the Blue Lagoon? Bathing suits are worn in and around all areas of the bathing lagoon, including the sauna. You can bring your own, or rent them from reception. You can also rent towels and bathrobes.
We recommend that you remove any jewelry (rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.)before entering the lagoon. This will ensure that you don't lose your items and that they don't get damaged by geothermal seawater which has high levels of silica, algae, and minerals.
If you book the Premium or Luxury packages, then your entrance also includes a bathrobe. If you have your own towel (or bathrobe), you are welcome to bring it to the Blue Lagoon to use. However, we recommend just using the free towel provided as otherwise you will have wet towels to take home with you.
The Blue Lagoon water has high levels of silica. Silica is not harmful to hair. However, if you get your hair wet from the water, it can become stiff and difficult to manage. We highly recommend you apply conditioner to your hair and leave it in while you bathe.
How long should I plan for the Blue Lagoon? Depending on whether or not you want to dine at the Blue Lagoon and how many spa treatments you want to experience, you should stay for between two and four hours. There is actually a luxurious hotel onsite too, so it is possible to stay overnight to truly indulge.
To minimize these potential effects, we recommend that you avoid immersing your hair in the water for too long and that you rinse your hair with fresh water after exiting the lagoon. However, if your hair is immersed for more than a few minutes, have no fear: it will return to normal after 2-3 washes.
