I Went To A Volcanic Spa In Iceland
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- HELLO FRIENDS!! It's time for my annual bath - and for such an occasion, we decided to travel to most famous geothermal spa in Iceland - the Blue Lagoon. I've been wanting to unleash an international spa travel series for a long time - so here is my formal declaration: it's spa time, baby!
So this past January, as the first installment of a 3-part Nordic/Scandinavian travel trip, we journeyed to the beautiful, mineral-rich light blue waters of the Blue Lagoon - to soak, smoothie, and face mask, oh my. Will this magical lagoon keep my skin plump and youthful forever? Or will the lava rock exfoliate my face right off? Who knows!
Quick note - we mentioned that the Reykjanes lava field was 800 years old - I think it's actually much, much older than that - but the earliest recorded eruption was about 800 years ago (which is where our fact came from)!
Also, because I've seen a few comments about it - no, the cups at the lagoon bar are not glass! They are plastic.

HELLO FRIENDS!! i've been wanting to unleash an international spa travel series for a long time - so here is my formal declaration: it's spa time, baby!! what did you guys think of the blue lagoon?? i've been wanting to go for forever - and it did not disappoint 🧖🏻♀ my skin has never felt softer and my hair has never been stiffer. let me know if you guys would ever try a soak in the blue lagoon - and where you guys want to see us go next!! xoxo, saf
Nice
I'm so excited for this series! The spa theme park video is my all-time favorite of yours!
I say Thailand next!
Hi there as an indigenous person our nation hold legends of the northern lights for centuries, some of us believe we came from the stars and when we die our spirts dance in the sky as northern lights. Because of this belief it is high recommended you do not film the northern lights as it is seen as incredibly disrespectful towards the culture and community. If you do end up doing because you don’t care please at least have an indigenous person explain the importance and significance of the lights in your video to at least educate others within your platform. @safiya plsssss read this!!!
Yay now i get to vicariously travel thru you and Tyler
Safiya taking us around the world one bath at a time
Best. Comment. Ever! 😂
Yes, I don’t think many UA-camrs even do that. Makes it more enticing to travel and visit these places they go to. 😁
The best way to travel! Seriously though, these reviews of the popular places are SUPER helpful to see if they are worth the hype+overstimulation
Next: Dead Sea!
@@AgapeYeshua stop pushing your beliefs on other people and mind your own fucking business
saf and ty really are living out my childhood dream of fiddling around as many hotel rooms and shower settings as possible
YOU GET IT
AYE I just realised their ship name is safty, almost safety lol
@@kingsrevenge9234 yes
@@kingsrevenge9234 yes
ok
the Monday after this came out, one of my students (8th grade) randomly brought up hot springs and I was like "did you just watch the new Safiya video about Iceland" and she was like "lol yes" and we just looked at each other, a beautiful cross-generational moment realizing we subscribe to the same stuff
This is so wholesome. I love it!!
I love this
omg that's so cool! once i came downstairs to my kitchen to find my baby boomer father watch a Safiya video! it was a really cool moment and made me really proud.
That's super cool!!! 🥰
@@quinevere you were proud of your dad for watching safiya? 💀
I'm a geologist, so when Safiya said "I love rocks" I felt that
And it was so funny when Tyler said, "Yeah, like I haven't heard that before", and you just knew she'd been saying it all day.
@@thevirtualtraveler I've always wanted to visit Iceland, and when I finally get there, I will definitely be saying that all the time too! Lmao!
the rocks look very rocky today
This Fandom makes an appearance in their most recent train video, too!
has iceland been decided on by geologists to be icelandia or not yet? something about the surrounding area potentially having been misidentified as oceanic rock or something when it could be. . . the word for not underwater land.
I still suggest Safiya and Tyler to go to BonBonLand in Denmark. Its a candy theme park, with some pretty weird things in. I think they would love it
Omg yes they should that sounds cool!! Like the cheese theme park they went to in the past
I think they should do a segment where CHATGPT planned their trip. Like, make them plan EVERYTHING including the hotel, the country and etc....
and isn't safiya partly danish too? so they might end up going there anyways hehe
@@peachyenigma yeah, this video actually had a short clip from them going to Denmark for christmas! It's at the intro.
Yesss I want to see this especially as a person with such a sweet tooth!
Tyler’s application of the face masks is giving sunscreen vibes 😂 I could not stop laughing
it might very well be sunscreen is the only thing he's used to putting on his face.
Haha XD
hah, I was seriously like "one of these people applies face masks IRL, the other...does not"
agree mark zuckerberg on a wake board vibes
"There is a vast delta in our ability to put on masks." fucking losing it LMAO
As an Icelander I’d say bathing and swimming and being in water is a very big part of our culture and social life I guess. The blue lagoon isn’t that big of a deal to most people in Iceland, we just know how to profit of tourists :)
I’m Icelandic too. 💖 Ég gæti verið svolítið hlutdræg en Ísland er fallegt.
@@Miss.831 it's a fact so you are not biased
@@raymil 🫶🏻😘
Every country profits off tourism. That’s just how it is lol so it isn’t really that special.
Can’t you tell that safiya knows how to put on a face mask and tyler doesn’t 💀
My immediate thought! 😂😂😂
I read this comment and thought "how could you apply a mask wrong?"
And then
I saw
Tyler just rubbing the mask all over his face followed by the shot of Safiya gently applying it was killing me 😭💀
He was just wash his face with a face mask 😂
Why did he look so scary though 🤣🤣
I feel Safiya and Tyler have the perfect personalities for travel videos. Laid-back but informative
As an icelandic person that lives in iceland, i have been noticing recently a lot of people on youtube coming here and going to the blue lagoon and like a typical icelandic person i feel like nobody ever knows we exists (even though they do) so this kind of excites me. Thanks for visiting my country ☺️ Þið eruð velkomin aftur hvenær sem er!
I'm surprised too because Iceland is such a beautiful place!!
As an American, I think we talk about Iceland a lot, and people want to go there, its just a more expensive place to travel to, so less people go.
ok
ok
@@vinhhuynhthe6978 ok
Great content, thanks both!
Wow

nice
wow nice..
Great video
I praise Tyler for making a Journey to the Center of the Earth reference. Such a banger movie.
I don't remember which one that is. Is the Rock in that one?
@@bellaknightR597 the rock is in the sequel. Brendan Fraser (idk if I spelled that right) is in the first one
Omg where can I watch that movie???? I rmb watching so much when I was like 9-10 y/o and it would definitely feel nostalgic watching it again 😊
Right. And I feel old knowing that movie from the 70s when I saw it I think. 🤔🤷♀️

I just love that it's runoff from clean energy production. It just feels so earth friendly and I love it.
True but flying there sadly is not
Silica kills
@@sarahe.1159es! but fortunately icelandair let’s you offset your carbon footprint by paying for tree planting. so there’s that
@@sarahe.1159 Sure but wind turbines would take up 20x the space and kill much more birds to produce the same energy, also considering the unreliable sunlight they can't use solar panels, and with not a lot of big rivers or that aren't frozen then they can't use hydro, and any other form of production would be much worse with pollution etc. Rather focus your energy on companies who make up 80% of pollution. If Iceland ceased to exist it wouldn't even cut 0,1% of all pollution so you achieve little but inconvenience people.
@TheCatLady65 Please elaborate? Not to be oppositional, I'm genuinely curious.
This is such a coincidence! I'm writing a term paper on geothermal resources and how humans use them. I had to mention the blue lagoon in it. Fun fact about sulfur: it is proven to help treat skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis. I referenced a couple of medical journals for it.
Iceland sits on top of the Mid Atlantic ridge (a divergent plate boundary) which is what causes all of the geothermal activity. There's all this magma rising up from beneath the crust to create more. The magma reacts with the water and Chemical reactions happen. One of which is the precipitation of sulfur
Ooooh that's really cool
One fun fact to add to all that: Iceland grows with about 1 cm of land every years due to all the volcanic activity!
legend has it I’m still relaxed to this day 🧖🏻♀
this is queen behavior right here
love u🤭
Where is your bathing suit from??
lol i automatically said “ hi ally “ 😂😩
The fact I've been watching Saf for so long that I literally cannot say "alright" without saying it exactly like she does lmao
same hahahahahahahahha so many of my verbal tics are from her .... sometimes i'll catch myself doing a transatlantic accent à la safiya
Same XD I also can't say "hello" without sounding like her or glamandgore 😅
@@wesangasweslew1658oh. My. Gosh. Yes! This might be my fav comment in a long time I’m subbed to both of them so I say it both ways too hehehe 😅😂❤❤❤❤
i’ve been watching her since 2018, so i get you!
As a wheelchair user, I’m happy to see those hotels were all accessible, even the showers! That’s rare for hotels
i thought the same thing! my mom is a disabled vet and it’s wild that very simple places don’t have wheelchair access.
@@user-oi9ej8bk4v I'm realizing this with apartment searching. All the apartments in the city have bathtubs and I'm just like please just give me a roll in lol
Me too!
Hi. I was wondering if the door on the side to the lagoon that Safia took is for wheelchairs. It is interesting to know if it is accessible - I am also a full time wheelchair user. Thanks @RS
Also I noticed at all the supermarket they had heated wheelchair spaces ask that ice does not build up. The rest of the car parks are an ice rink in winter.
I'm 48 and Icelandic, from Reykjavik. When I was a kid, probably around 10 or so, so around 1985, the blue lagoon was pretty new. I developed some skin condition on the soles of my feet and was "prescribed" by my family physician to go bathe in the lagoon as the benefit for Psoriasis patients had already been established. At the time, the lagoon was right next to the Svartsengi power plant and not so far away from it as it is now. The changing room facilities was a literal shed with 3 showers and hangers for 10-15 people or so.
This place has come a long way since then. Now I don't recommend anybody to go there as it's pricey as hell for going to a geothermal pool in Iceland. Reykjavik alone has 16 such pools to visit, all of them with a selection of hot tubs and even saunas as well. Price of entry there: 1/10th of the Blue Lagoon cost.
Safiya and Tyler, if you ever make it back to Iceland I'd love to take you around and show you some nice sights...
Hello
If you don't mind could you tell me how life and culture is in Iceland?
Are people very conservative or liberal, open or reserved, and things like that😅
I'm really curious about this beautiful country.❤
it kills me how she intros her videos "this week..." as if she doesnt disappear for months and years at a time 😄
Because she's working hard on videos with her team that takes a lot of time to edit and upload. Let's not start. She never disappeared, she's just working on videos BTS for us to actually watch.
Catch you guys in #Sweden2025
@@Snow-xd4rv They know that... it's just funny that it's "this week" when there hasn't been a weekly upload schedule for years. Maybe it should be "in this video". :)
Right like hello girl you okay? let us know :o I remember her once mentioning in a vlog that she disappeared for a while because of some nobodies insulting her and making her feel insecure thus not uploading a video for a while. Honestly I hope she isn't feeling insecure anymore because only nobodies get online and start bashing someone for simply existing!
@@Ayveh She doesn't disappear though, her videos take time to edit and make
Generally, I'm not a big travel vlog person, except when it comes to Safiya and Tyler. They explore places in the same way I would and then some: trying out things even if they're silly or weird, and appreciating the small details. You both do a great job at conveying the vibes of a place while also including some of your own perspectives on it. :)
Same!!
ua-cam.com/video/OfTw9q9MgLw/v-deo.html
Same, especially couples that get too coupley when really we wanna see what they're seeing and experiencing 😂
I found one vlogger called Travel Bum that has a bunch of videos of him and his gf making their way along the coastal cities from southern Brazil to northern Brazil. Theres maybe like 50ish videos. Theres stunning views in every video, just like this one except Brazil lol
Fun fact: if you go to a waterfall in Iceland and there is a tiny river flowing you can actually drink the water cause Icelandic water is very clean( coming from a Icelandic girl). Also I don’t recommend getting your hair wet in the blue lagoon cause it can turn into a mess.
What does happen? Just for out of curiosity
Good tip for anyone who’s gonna go because of this vid thank you 😊
@@EmelyPhan Basically, the salt rips out all of the natural oil and moisture from your hair. It's difficult to get it back to normal.
Thanks for the tip, I'm going there in a few months for my birthday lol
We visited last December and your country is beyond words! Hope to be back there and definitely it's the best tap water we ever drank. 😂 I had to bring some of it back to the country I'm currently based in to compare it and it's waayyy incomparable. 😅
The rewatchability of Safiya's videos is unparalleled 🎉
I love how positive they both are and how well they go together
DO THE SWISS CHEESE SPA NEXT 🧀
Yess!
Yes
hi
PLEASE
Bring back the dislike number!!!
My thoughts are with the employees and residents of Iceland! I hope everyone will be alright and stay safe. There’s a lot of seismic activity and it doesn’t look like the volcano is calming down. The tourists at Blue Lagoon have been evacuated and it will be closed for a while. I am sure that’s a horrible experience. We will think of you Blue Lagoon 💙💙💙
I live in grindavík and have my whole life, an eruption started just 2 days ago. The lava is currently just 2-3km away from our home. We havent been able to live at home for over a month and wont be able to be home for christmas. Grew up going to the blue lagoon or as we say at home bláa lónið, this video is kinda nostalgic and is so comforting to watch in way now. ( the lagoon will be spared as the built a protective wall around it aswell as HS orka, the source of heat and hot water for over 30.000 people)
Heyo, Icelandic person here. I’ve never laughed as hard hearing foreigners pronounce Icelandic brands/words, this is absolutely fantastic.
Out of curiosity (not shading Saf at all!) how is Reykjavik pronounced? I was under the impression that it was more like "ryay-ha-veek" because of the old Journey to the Center of the Earth movie, but I also haven't watched that in like fifteen years lol
@@babybaklavagus At 3:37 she pronounces it almost correctly except she says "vik" instead of "veek". It's like Rey-kya-veek.
@@TheGlowingFairy Exactly!
@@babybaklavagus "ja" sounding "ha" would be if it were Spanish 🤣
Wow, I assumed that everyone knew how to pronounce Reykjavik 😳😬
Saf and Tyler have officially entered their capybara phase, and I love that for them 😌😌😌😌 especially when they called themselves eggs, peak capybaraness 😌🤌
what is the capybara stage?
@@saanasalonen8684 capybaras are semi-aquatic animals, I think is the implication here. A number of videos I have seen of them in captivity seem to give them in very bathhouse-like habitats, and they're chill herbivorous animals, so I could see how one might associate them with spas.
@@erink476 oh ok! ty for answering, i didnt know that they are semiaquatic! i thought they were land dwellers! imma google that tomorrow! capybaras are so cute!
Ah the Saftybara. Such a majestic creature.
japanese zoos also have the tradition of offering yuzu baths to capybaras! those giant fluffy rats love their hot springs
Safiya spa + travel content is literally the best thing on UA-cam, I'm sooo excited for the rest of the Scandinavia series!!!!! Also as a German/Dutch person I'm really hoping for a Europe part 2 in the future:)
Same! I'm German, my fiancé is Dutch and I would love to see them checking out our beautiful countries! I live in a city with a nice thermal public pool and it's awesome! ❤
Same love her travel videos!
It’s wild how this was only 6 months before the volcanic conditions closed it down 😨
As someone who uses sulfur masks for acne, I feel like a good soak in the Silica Hotel pool would solve all of my problems for life. This was such a fun video!
Totally! I swear by my sulfur soap bars 😂
ua-cam.com/video/OfTw9q9MgLw/v-deo.html
@sarbarna sarker Any sulfur mask recommendations?!
@@kingsrevenge9234 no.
ok
As a someone who's been living in Iceland for more than 5 years now, I would really recommend trying other things besides the blue lagoon. It is very expensive and touristy, but the public pools are sooo nice, way more accessible, and where you get to meet people who actually live there. It's a super social space, all the public pools have jacuzzis ("hot pots") to chat in, and most have a free hammam or sauna.
Yes!!! I know there is a reason why all the tourist go to blue lagoon but there is so much better places to go to!
I agree. My husband I went to a public pool just down the street from our rental and it was amazing. We met so many nice locals. We would recommend it 100% to anyone!
@@Villasukkakomero drop the names!
I was thinking the same thing, pretty sad to go to a country and spend one night there.
@@tdelioncourt1268 Any public swimming pool on your way. Never been to a bad one.
Me, a person with severe anxiety, enjoying your travelling around the world. Remember you are taking me along with you too ❤
What I like about Safiya's content is how informative her videos are, and at the same time, they're very fun and entertaining to watch.
Safiya & Tyler, you never fail to give me the travel bug. Adding this to my ever-growing list of places I must visit.
I’m going in november with icelandair and if you have a flight through reykjavik you can increase your layover time to give you time to explore iceland! I increased it by 5 days!
Something about Saf going"OH fun! I'm already having fun." brought me so much joy.
Hope everyone that’s been affected by the volcano in Iceland today is safe! 💕
Watching this during the sad evacuation of Grindavik and the closure of the Blue Lagoon, hope both are ok after the eruption 😢
Whaat?? What happened??!
Here are some more suggestions for your spa series. Prague has many beer spas, it’s fantastic it makes your skin very soft, also comes with unlimited beer or wine, and you can take a nap afterwards. Budapest also have thermal baths and our kids really enjoyed it. It was my 8 year olds favorite part of our trip.
I came here to mention the beer spa! Especially since Prague also has a 16th century alchemists' lab which seems like something Saf would love
I would be careful as a woman bathing in beer it can really throw off your. vaginal Ph 😬 and you could get a yeast infection
Visit Carlsbad @safiya
Thanks for all the amazing content, guys - I’ve had your Vegas series on repeat. Hope you’re enjoying making all the videos as much as we love watching them. We appreciate you!
me too!! i'm glad they are travelling again!
Same!! I'm at the point I can start quoting the first part of the Vegas series💀👍
yes!
I loved the Vegas series!!! I need them to do more stuff there haha
As an Icelander, it is always so crazy to see these types of videos. Like, people i've been watching since i was a kid coming to my tiny little county 🥹
International spa travel series?!? CANNOT WAIT. I've watched that Japanese Spa Theme Park video of yours at least 25 times.
Love the video! Just a heads up for anyone going to Iceland - make sure you take off jewellery before going in any spas, hot tubs, natural lagoons etc. The sulfur in the water can tarnish jewellery really easily - my white gold ring now looks very gold and my sister's sterling silver bracelet was completely tarnished black after 1 hour in a natural spring hot tub.
The sterling silver should polish up with some hot water, toothpaste, and a rag! The same thing happened to me in New Zealand and I was devastated until someone showed me that!
Thank you!
If this channel turns into nothing but hotel reviews I would be so into it. 🤞🏻

at 10:48 when she said "why are we all here?" it cut to an ad and the ad that i got was for the mandalorian who immediately said "it's complicated" very dramatically. perfect.
So fun to see people visit the Blue Lagoon,I work there so I hope you guys enjoyed your stay 🤗
That's awesome!! Are you allowed to swim in there?
Love that Tyler’s face masks look like a kid putting on sunscreen for the first time😂❤
FYI the conditioner isn't for the salt, it's for the silica - that's what messes your hair up. It's the same stuff they put in those little desiccant packages in new things and it's very good at absorbing moisture which makes your hair kind of dry and easily tangled.
After watching this I feel like I would just go to the Silica Lagoon and be happy since it wasn’t crowded at all and you still get a cool lagoon experience.

This video was the first time I heard about the Blue Lagoon. The second time was on the news, about the volcanic eruptions very nearby and how the Blue Lagoon might get destroyed by it as the area is no switching from rest to active volcanic area.
You two compliment each other so well! ❤❤ I just adore how good you are to one another!
I went to the Blue Lagoon with my parents in the summer of 2010 and I don't think they told us back then to put loads of conditioner in our hair, nor that we should put it up... We couldn't get our hair un-tangled for two weeks afterwards but I think it was worth it :)
same, I wonder when they changed it? I went in 2010 & 2011 too and the only thing they told us was to shower before going in the lagoon. Also, you could just pick up silica from the rocks and put it on. There wasn't a separate mask bar.
By 2017 they had the mask bar and told us to use conditioner so sometime in between there
Been going there every few years since 2006 and there have always been signs all over the locker/shower rooms about putting conditioner in the hair and to put long hair up, sometimes the workers have reminded us while getting checked but not always
Came here to say this very thing and I went in 2013
honestly i'm living for all of this wellness-content ... more of it please!!
they get physical wellness, we get emotional wellness, win-win!
Yes, we collectively need a bit of wellness now.
From what I've heard (from my bf and his family who are icelandic), the Blue Lagoon is mostly a tourist attraction, but my bf's mom had recently gone to Sky Lagoon in Reykjavík and recommended it, there's a whole 7 step ritual thing, Lagoon, cold glacier pool, sauna, mist room, scrub, steam room, and fancy shower. I'm not sure how different the experiences would be, but if you ever need another hot bath in Iceland, there's that.
It’s wild that it’s only a few months later and the whole town is evacuated due to the volcanic/seismic threat. The website for this lagoon says “temporarily closed” now. 😢
What? Nooo :(((
Is there still a threat of eruption? I hope everyone is ok 🥺
@@brittanyhyatt3407 it did erupt on Dec 18th just to the east of the spa. There were no casualties and the volcano is not erupting at this time. The spa is closed for now and I think they are reevaluating when to open back up. The website gives all the info you need to know 👍🏼. It is unlikely that the town will ever be back to what it was though. The fissures and seismic activity really messed it up.
My favorite thing about your channel is that rather than posting weekly, you post interesting adventures like the spa, underwater hotel, Colonial Williamsburg, the Vegas series, and so forth. Very, very cool!
living vicariously through safiya’s videos 🤝
Same!
Glad you enjoyed it! Im an icelander! The stuff on the bottom in the Silica hotel lagoon used to be all over the main lagoon years ago. It is the same stuff as the complimentary silica mask and the main lagoon used to have like afew giant buckets here and there, way before the mask bar came to be
Safiya has a wonderful way of making everything interesting and calming.
Imagine going on vacay and being able to write the whole thing off cuz it’s your job. Absolutely love it for you guys! Definitely my favorite couple ❤
When I get my doctorate done, I’m gonna buy my parents a trip to this place. Looks so lovely and perfect for an anniversary!!
Proud of you! 😺

I love you guys and your channel so much, your videos are so comforting on bad days when my anxiety gets to me or even just rewatching while relaxing after work. My absolute favorite thing about all of your videos is the look on Tyler’s face after he makes Saf laugh, it’s the most wholesome thing ever. You two are such an adorable couple and I wish you many many more years of happiness and laughter. Thank you guys so much ❤️
Safiya tasting things that should not be eaten never disappoints 😂
I really enjoy how safyia always explains everything so well while having the time of her life in her videos 💚
Safyia’s videos are always wonderful
I went to the Blue Lagoon on vacation in 2009, and to this day it’s still one of the best places I’ve ever been. Absolutely breathtaking place and such a unique experience.
Same here! I went with my sister in 2018 and to this day is still one of my favorite places I’ve ever been! Such an incredible experience!!
First of all, I NEED to go. Second, because of this video I went to their retail wrbsite and bought a fortune's worth of their face masks. You can literally see how much you skin was lglowing, Saf. Can't wait to use them!
Iceland looks MAGICAL.
Been catching up with your videos lately and I've been very entertained! I haven't had much opportunities to travel around but I'd love to someday. For now watching your videos scratch the itch of wanting to travel thank you for including us in your trips
Not that long ago, people could dig up the silica masks from the bottom of the Blue Lagoon, then they started offering them in buckets by the perimeters for free. Today it's significantly more fancy and everything costs extra!
Íslendingur ella føroyingur
Welcome to capitalism
Yes. When I was there about 15 years ago the whole spa was waaaay less fancy. I would even say it was in dire need of a renovation. It had public swimming pool vibes. But you could just take the clay from the bottom of the lagoon and put on your face. I wish that they had told us about the hair back then. I didn’t know and ended up with the driest hair you can imagine 😅 Even though it’s expensive I would love to visit the lagoon (and Iceland ) again. I Love Icelandic horses 😍
It’s always a good day when saf uploads
I remember going to the pre-touristy blue lagoon with my grandma, you had a much smaller house and way less fancy (basically not fancy at all) to change clothes in, lots of jagged rocks and the water temperature was very random depending on where you went, so a lot more natural than it is now, it was a lot of fun. :)
So volcanic, it's about to erupt :(
Been there two or three times. I hope it doesn't get destroyed...
The difference between Saf’s mask putting on abilities and Tyler’s is so funny to me
We did both the Blue Lagoon and the Sky Lagoon and really enjoyed both but enjoyed the Sky Lagoon a lot more overall. The views, the offerings, and the overall vibes (especially at sunset) was such a lovely way to end a day.
Thank you for this- planning a Sept trip with a group and only have time for one. We are between Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon but leaning Sky!
@ErinnPG sky felt a little more low key/busy when we went last February (although it was almsot new then) and we liked the 7 step offering they had over the face masks and spa stuff (neither of us are big on face masks) and the drinks were better too.
I also went to both Blue and Sky when I visited in early March 2023.
I enjoyed finding the water ejection ports at Blue where the really hot water gets pumped in, but it was a little unfortunate to need to stay mindful of the silica and my hair.
Sky had a MUCH cooler view, and was still pretty hot (not AS potentially hot as Blue, though), but be mindful that there are no windbreaks due to being open at the western (ocean-facing) end. It was windy, cold, and a little snowy that day, which froze my hair like a helmet on my head. However, it also made the experience quite interesting, and I could dunk under the water to thaw my face and hair.
I also ran into some Scots and Brits between both places, so it was a good opportunity to get some inside info for my UK trip I hope to take in the future.
it's rare to see videos on Finland, let alone such a massive UA-camr! when I tell you I got so excited!!!! notifications now on!!! 🇫🇮
I live in Iceland and I love it, its always fun to watch people do something in Iceland😊 (i also tend to try and listen to the Icelandic people in the background😂)
An underwater massage sounds like pure heaven. The blue lagoon is now on my bucket list just for that.
I read this as underwear massage😭😭
@@esto11213 🤣🤣🤣🤣 very different things 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There is something about the format of Saf's videos that scratches my adhd brain itch. I feel so calm right now.😊
I think part of it is how clearly she pronounces words. I hardly have to put effort towards understanding to her dialogue, so I can watch the visuals instead of subtitles and get the full experience of the video, more like people without auditory processing and attention issues can. Of course her fun subject matter and the snappy editing helps a lot too!
Interesting timing for me to stumble upon this one with that whole area currently evacuated due to a possible eruption event.
You and Tyler are the only travel guides we need in this world
NO WAAYYY AM I JUST SEEING THIS NOW! I just came back from Iceland today, and I went to the Blue Lagoon literally a few days ago! It was amazing
I always watch UA-cam while in the bath with a sulfur mask so I was truly there with you and wow what an experience! My one wish is that you included costs of the trip because I too am a bath queen who enjoys the full spa experience!
I would fly all the way to Iceland just to feel that clay they were playing with in the silica lagoon, it's just so ~texture~
I've been really missing Iceland lately. I'm born and raised American but my amma (grandmother) and her whole side of the family is Icelandic, so I grew up visiting there often. Seeing y'all visit even for a quick trip lifted my spirits so much (amusing pronunciations of Icelandic words helped too lmaooo)! I hope you're able to go back another time and really explore the country for a lengthier visit, it's so incredibly lovely.
And now Blue Lagoon is closed because the volcano.
i simply love safiya and tyler’s videos so much. there is so much thought and consideration that goes into every one and they’re just so enjoyable. cannot wait for the rest of this series!
You two are just so comforting for me. I mean, the videos you and Tyler put out are extremely rewatch-able.
good thing you didn't visit in december 2023 as there was a huge volcanic eruption there just 2-3km away from the Blue Lagoon
I won’t lie the travel vlogs are my fav videos
Awww it’s just so sweet to see the affection that they had for each other in this video … I feel like it was like a extended honeymoon trip for Saf and Ty, and I’m all for it!!! ❤❤❤
I’m living for the spa series, I know these are going to be my new comfort videos lol
who else randomly found her and now can't stop watching her?
me lol
