Excursion Vök baths geothermal escape tour at Seydisfjordur

Relax in Iceland’s pure geothermal waters at Vök Baths, a serene spa on Lake Urriðavatn. The baths take their name from natural “vök” — melted ice holes — formed where hot water rises from deep beneath the lake. Today, this geothermal source feeds a series of floating and lakeside pools, as well as cold tubs and a sauna.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Seyðisfjörður over the Fjarðarheiði mountain pass, past Egilsstaðir, before arriving at Vök. Enjoy a rejuvenating soak with stunning lake views, and sample herbal tea brewed from the only certified drinkable hot spring water in Iceland. Designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, Vök Baths offers a peaceful retreat rooted in Icelandic bathing traditions.
