About GeoSea Sea Baths

GeoSea is not only a world-class geothermal bathing mecca, it is an experience that taps into the historical roots of a small fishing town in North Iceland that has harnessed the earth's geothermal waters for centuries. Perched along a western-facing cliffside that overlooks the Skjálfandi Bay and the Article Circle to the north, the baths provide the ultimate vantage point for whale watchers and for those seeking the northern lights. Reconnect, decompress, and enjoy Icelandic nature in a unique way at GeoSea.
