Summary: One of our favourite geothermal baths we visited in Iceland. We met our friendly guide at the hotel and we made the 15 min drive to the private Canyon Baths. There are 60 or so steps down to the baths. The landscape surrounding the baths is very, very private! So peaceful and quiet. We were fortunate to have the entire space to ourselves as we were the last tour of the day. The dressing rooms were clean, dry and warm. Our guide checked in on us a couple of times and served us a couple of beverages along the way. The admission fee was appropriate for this visit. We stayed for approximately 90 min. +++ Experience. Enjoy Iceland!

Summary: What a relaxing trip this was. Just my wife and I. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the area. The hike was actually very short so we had a lot of time to spend in the hot pools. Really enjoyed it.
