Private Vök Baths & Scenic Eastfjords Tour from Djúpivogur
A relaxed private journey through the Eastfjords to one of Iceland's most serene geothermal bathing destinations.
This private Vök Baths tour from Djúpivogur offers a comfortable, easy-paced day out combining scenic Eastfjords driving with a genuine geothermal bathing experience at Lake Urriðavatn. Designed for travellers arriving by cruise ship or staying in the area, the tour is fully private with a dedicated local guide throughout. Admission to Vök Baths is included in the tour price.
The drive from Djúpivogur to Egilsstaðir passes through some of East Iceland's quieter rural corridors, with mountain ridges, fjord views and open farmland framing much of the route. Your guide selects short photo stops along the way based on conditions and timing, giving the journey a natural, unhurried rhythm.
Vök Baths sits directly on the edge of Lake Urriðavatn and is known for its floating geothermal pools, which extend out over the water's surface. The design integrates the natural setting in a way that is uncommon even by Icelandic standards. Guests typically have around ninety minutes to use the facilities at their own pace.
