Mývatn's Magical Warm Waters

Earth Lagoon Thermal Baths is a beautiful place, the water is pleasant, and the staff are professional. The experience would be very enjoyable if you don’t mind being photographed and filmed by strangers throughout your entire visit. Cameras are allowed inside the lagoon itself. So you pay a fairly expensive entrance fee, put on your swimsuit, and instead of enjoying a peaceful and relaxing experience, you spend your time watching people film you from inside the lagoon. This would be understandable to some extent. But what is much worse is that people can also film you from outside. Yes, exactly. People don’t even have to pay the entrance fee. They can simply walk into the lobby, go out onto the terrace, and film the paying guests through the rocks. The staff can clearly see this happening and do absolutely nothing about it. And it’s not just an occasional camera. There is one camera after another. At one point, a woman even pulled out a camera on a long selfie stick and filmed us directly for at least 15 minutes. This completely ruins a large part of the experience. I assume these are wannabe influencers, so there is a good chance that we will eventually end up somewhere on the internet without our consent. This policy is completely backwards. It feels outrageous to charge people a substantial entrance fee and then allow literally any creep who happens to walk through the lobby and onto the terrace to photograph and film paying guests as if they were animals in a zoo.

We paid €90 per person for entry, which was completely unreasonable. Changing rooms and showers are plentiful and constantly cleaned. That was okay. The pool with the blue water looks quite appealing at first glance. But on closer inspection, you can see the technical equipment all around. And there's nothing special about it; it gets boring after an hour at the most. I can't recommend the pool at this price.
