Etiquette is part of the experience in Iceland.

Calm conduct cues

The Short List

  • Shower naked before entering — it keeps water clean.
  • Keep voices moderate, respect privacy, and follow signage.
  • Hydrate, take breaks, and avoid glass.

Health Pointers

  • Don’t overheat; exit for cool‑downs.
  • Pregnant? Ask a doctor first.
  • Remove silver jewelry — sulfur may darken it. [^silver]

Tip: If you feel dizzy, exit slowly and hydrate — then re‑enter gently.

Bottom Line

Respect the water, the people, and your body.

[^silver]: Sulfur compounds can tarnish silver; stow it before soaking.
