I Stay At The Blue Lagoon In Iceland - The Volcano ERUPTS! 

This is one hotel stay I WON'T EVER FORGET!

Hotel Room = lots of money Lagoon resort = lots of money Dinner = lots of money Massage = lots of money Drinks = lots of money Minimal packaged lunch = lots of money 6:00am wake-up call by a volcano = priceless

Hotel stay: expensive, experiencing this: priceless. Best footage I've seen from this eruption so far.

Man: "I am at a safe distance" Volcano: "Lol!"

I'm not a swinger... "but you can have a few people standing around watching if you want" with a cheeky pause!

You know what makes your channel tick? I reckon it’s because you and Gabby are real and relatable folks. Keep up and thank you for the authenticity. Hard to come by these days. Looking foward to more content. Cheerio🙏🏼❤️

I'm pleased you're safe and at the same time extremely jealous that you've seen in person something as amazing as that.

Disappointed that water in minifridge is sparkling. Not realizing the best still water ever is right in the bathroom tap 😂 Thanks for the video, always wanted to see one of the rooms! Glad your safe!

You are so fortunate to have experienced this and videoraphed it! They got you away safely, that is paramount.

That was incredible! I was stationed at the NATO base, Keflavik, Iceland 2003, 2005. I use to go to Blue Lagoon once a week, just the Lagoon. It was more affordable back then. Great experience, expensive but you will never forget it. I was stationed at Subic Naval Base, Philippines went MT Pinitubo blew for 3 days. That was a big eruption! Totally destroyed Clark Air Base. We evacuated 25,000 people! Great Vllogg!

01:32 That's because it basically has. The Blue Lagoon is build at the edge of a historical lava flow from the 13th century. So they build around the piece like that, giving the appearence you just described.

As a follow up - the Blue Lagoon and hotels are now basically cut off for the general public as the lava flowed over the main road and up the blue lagoon road. There is another way in from the south but that is from the town of Grindavik which is closed. And the lava also melted the pipe that supplies hot water to the rest of the towns on the peninsula, including Keflavik. As Iceland uses this hot water supply for heating people are having to use very limited electric heating (and no hot water for washing) until the new pipe is in place…

That feature in the hallways, with the volcanic rock formation halfway through the windows is both an awesome architectural work of art, and a rather unfortunate portent of what was about to happen. I'm just glad you're okay Tim!

Loved this video. What a place and I actually teared up a bit at the volcano erupting..weird! Really stunning, beautiful, exciting, highly dangerous and the awesomeness that's Mother Nature! That's a once in a lifetime - I bet you're glad you experienced it!

Great Video!! I live in Hawaii with a couple active volcanos on the island… glad you are safe. Lava erupting and fountaining is both terrifying and beautiful

What an experience! Not one to forget in a hurry. Just booked to go to Iceland last week, fingers crossed for summer! Better footage than all the news coverage!

WOW. That volcano footage was fantastic you were in the right place at the right time, just wow. Wouldn't stop at that hotel though, far too expensive.

""I stay in a hotel with the most amazing wake up call EVER !! ""

Great video. Very well choreographed. I have driven people quite often to and from the Silica Hotel but never stayed there, so very interesting for me to see inside. I love seeing your honest opinions. I´m one of the locals that have been agains them being allowed to operate in the area while there is a very high chance of imminent eruption. I mean the area was marked inside a orange danger zone, and they are having business opened for tourist. I have been waiting for it to erupt any minute in the last 3 weeks. Though the eruption was where they estimated, they can never be 100% sure. I mean the magma chamber is underneath the Blue Lagoon area at around 5 km / 3 miles dept. The road you are driving at around 21:43 is all under lava now. It went over the road about 6 hours after you left. The lava went as close to the the front door of the hotel as about roughly 600 meters or about 0.38 miles. The Berm Wall was between, but still. The lava did not hit the berm wall but was very close to it. I doubt that anybody told you this. But in the last 3 months, or since novemer 10th when all the earthquakes happend. The land in Svartsengi, where the powerplant is, sunk by about 35 cm / 14 inches and since then it has it has risen again from that point about 55 cm / 22 inches (It sunk a little bit after each eruption). So there have been a lot of movement in the land there. Also, the land around the town of Grindavík (The town that have been evacuated) few km south from there. There is a point West and East of the town, and those point have been spliting apart about 3 meters / 10 feet now since november. I dont yet have numbers since this eruption.

Thank you so much for the tour of the Blue Lagoon and your stay with details. The 6 AM wake up was fantastic -if a little unnerving, just a wondrous experience! All smiles!

Thanks Tim. I have been glued to the Live From Iceland channel since the first eruption in November 2023 and it was interesting to view the eruption ‘experience’ from a visitors perspective. Nice vid and thanks for staying where you did because I could never afford to. 😉

Exceptional vlog thx Tim! Knowing the roads well, surely the scariest part for you was having to drive TOWARDS the eruption before reaching the main road and being able to turn away to the north...only hours later that road was comprehensively engulfed by lava flow. Wow.

OMG Tim! What a frightening experience being evacuated from a hotel early in the morning because of a volcano eruption!! Not something you would expect on a day to day basis and I bet you will never forget it. It did look absolutely insane! Just glad you got out of there and are now safe Tim. Thanks for another brilliant video 😁

Hi Tim glad you got out of the hotel and away safely. What a way to be woken up by the emergency alarm and to drive a hire car right past the volcano erupting throwing out lava. What a scene of lava in the back ground at the airport. The hotel and room looked lovely.

Go glad you’re safe Tim! Was actually very interesting to see that the hotel was prepared for that! Not something you initially would have thought

“Swing with me Tim” Glad you’re safe and sound. Great review.

wow! Iceland is my special place, I absolutely love it there. What footage you have! 🌋

Great review as always Tim.....not sure if its just me but what an utterly bizarre place!!! Awesome footage of the eruption though and crazy that it happened on the exact night/morning you stayed there.

Wow what an incredible experience! The blue lagoon, volcano, your saw it all! Brilliant video!

I would never want to be around when a air raid goes off you are brave!! So glad you got out of there and home safe !!!

Possibly the most genuinely terrifying travel vlog I’ve ever seen. Just wow. 🔥 Glad you’re safe . 👍🏼

Hope you are now in a place of safety, Tim. Safe travels home.

That was a spectacular end to your trip. You could never plan for it. It looks so safe but unsafe. Amazing.

What a well stitched together video . Certainly went into depth of what the Blue Lagoon is all about . I been watching the Iceland eruptions since Fagradalsfjall in 2021 , so watching Eruptions is not new to me . But omg you sure has a bit of a shock . Everyone has their eyes on on your digital dash clock lol . And you got so good footage of the 3rd eruption very shortly after it first fissured . Not long after that a Giant Lava Spaghetti monster wound it's way and destroyed some valuable hot water pipelines . . The prices omg ! Design yes and comfort . But many have been questioning the Decision making by the Managers and above of the Blue Lagoon . Clearly putting Profit before the safety of people . An excellent video 👏 👏

Epic video! What an experience and wake up call! Always good honest information on your channel😊

Oh my goodness, another top video, thank you Tim. To be there when the volcano went off must have been scary - but what a once in a lifetime experience!!

So calm and absolutely amazing close up footage! Good for you and glad your safe!

I wouldn’t call that stay a disaster Tim. You likely won’t ever experience anything like that again. Most volcanic eruptions in Iceland aren’t particularly explosive so you were fine and not really in any immediate danger. The reason these fissure eruptions happen so much in Iceland is because the country is tearing itself in half and being filled in with magma, so Iceland is getting bigger and bigger. You can see where it is splitting on satellite maps if you look closely. I believe the splitting rate is about 2cm a year. 🙂

Hi Tim! I seen a reference to this video on another channel. It was featured on "On The Pulse With Silki". She has been covering the volcanic activity at Iceland. The best thing is, I discovered your channel! 😁 Your video was Amazing and Scary too. 😮 But, since then, I have watched a LOT of your videos and have Subscribed. Love your travels and videos. Glad you got out of Iceland safe!!! I am on my cell phone commenting but watching you on RU-vid on TV touring Lapland! Love your channel. Cute family also. Take Care. Thanks for the videos. 😁 💞

What an amazing experience, blue lagoon added to my bucket list! the volcanic eruption whilst terrifying to see it so close to your hotel room, its a once in a lifetime experience to see. The air raid alarm though would have scared the hell out of me at 6am in the morn. Fantastic vid

I am planning on visiting Iceland so this was great to see. I am enjoying your videos, this was exceptionally well done. Glad you're safe, looking forward to more adventures.

Absolutely beautiful place especially blue lagoon. Absolute terrific experience of the volcanic activity. Glad you got out safely

what an experience with the siren after 6am, in pitch black morning. amazing video, i was breath-holding when you had the vulcano lava running after you in the side mirror of your car. well done for that. thank you

.....what an experience. Truly amazing to think your hotel was that close. Epic video😲🌋

That was a crazy experience for sure! Look how the lava oozed and showcased a very bright and angry red color! That's scary! 😱😱

The fact that we get free travel videos from Tim on RU-vid is priceless.., keeping the knowledge and entertainment alive. 🤷

That's been great fun to watch! I enjoyed the Blue Lagoon's waters a few years back, but even though it's a fantastic memory, it wasn't quite that intense! Lucky you!

Had this video recommended to me a bit over a week ago and have been watching all your videos since. Super entertaining and great filming work, really enjoy the videos, thanks Tim!

😮 I stayed in Iceland 🇮🇸 last February 2023 and we loved our visit to the Blue Lagoon 👌 Can't wait go back there as that place is amazing, fingers crossed the lava doesn't break it's way through, Thanks for doing this video Tim 👌 To actually see the eruption accor must have been breath taking to see but nerve-racking at the same time.

I was there with a friend at the end of last month. So lucky to have avoided this, we were told if the volcano went off they’d evacuate us all 😬 glad you’re okay, Tim. Love your videos 😊

Wow- what an experience you had in Iceland . The eruption looks amazing but I am pleased you made it out in one piece. I do think it’s very overpriced but also Iceland is known for being very expensive. Great video Tim.👍

This was an incredible video. I loved your honest hotel review as you were trying the various services and facilities, but the way you reacted so relatively calmly from the eruption onward, that was quite cool as well.

Absolutely amazing. Thank you Tim for bringing us along.

Blooming heck Tim! What an experience 😮

WOW, What a wake up call. Not every day you get woken up by a volcanic eruption near your hotel. Hotel looks very nice but certainly very expensive. And now the access road to the hotel is covered in Lava too 😪 Great video as always 😃

Wow! As dangerous as that was it looks quite cool. Glad your all ok though.

That is an excellent video! You captured the experience for us perfectly. Thanks.

I enjoyed your your perspective about your stay at the hotel and visit to Blue Lagoon. I knew of course that you would probably awaken to the eruption already under way and you handled well without stressing. It would interesting to see whete else you visit. From New Mexico, USA wishing you well.

I'm glad you're safe, Tim!😊👍👏👏❤️

Amazing! I am following the Iceland-situation for the last few month out of Switzerland. And you being there exactly during the third eruption is just unreal. Thanks for covering it.

Wow how frightening that must have been. 😱 Glad you were in the hotel safe and sound.

Wow! So amazing to see this from this point of view, I hope you had a good stay in the lagoon. Best wishes from lagoon staff member🫶🏼

wonderful video, was really enjoying the property... glad you were safe and calm, at least what you showed ha

Absolute belter episode! It’s gone straight into my top 3 Walk With Me Tim episodes!

This is one review ILL NEVER FORGET especially when you see lava right near the airport from waiting lounge

My sons (5 and 2) are joining me for this! Its so exciting. Thank you, Tim!! Now we're going to rewatch some Walk with me favourites 😆 love Fridays!

I love Iceland! It’s absolutely a lovely place. I was fortunate enough to be there when a volcano was erupting in the summer of 2021. I can’t wait to go back… for the sixth time. 😊

Everything about Iceland is so stylish. We were amazed as we drove around the whole island that pretty much everywhere we stayed or ate was fitted out in what I'd call quiet luxury.. All of these creature comforts juxtaposed with the grandeur and dangers of the land itself. It was such an adventure. Loved every minute of our trip.

Wow Tim, that was one amazing vlog. On one hand, loved the Blue Lagoon, hotel, views and geology, filmed to your usual amazing standard, but the volcano, oh my word. You were so calm and did brilliantly in the get away hire car. 😂. Loved it, but so glad you have returned safely to your lovely family. Fantastic Tim, well done. 😊 xx

You definitely know how to make them interesting Tim. How do you do it 😆👍

Tim you had me in stitches when you said about the shower. Comedy Gold Tim!! Love your sense of humour, don’t ever change. “You can have a few people standing around watching if you want” then your expression after you said it 😂😂😂

What an amazing experience! Thanks for being there and you’re safe.

Hi I wanted to tell you how interesting I find your trips. Thanks for taking us with you. Sharon in USA 😂

Wow... just Wow! That must have been the most surreal experience! 😮

I'm so jealous... when I was in Iceland I hoped to see what you experienced. Grindavik is beautiful. Glad you're safe. I'm pretty sure this'll go viral!

Watching from Lagos Nigeria enjoy your channel. And this episode,,,🤯. I like the hotel room it will be easy to keep clean

Great video Tim hotel looks amazing but scary when the eruption happened well done take care xx

My fiancé took me to Iceland for my birthday and the blue lagoon was stunning. Must have been so scary with that volcanic activity. Only if you’ve been to Iceland can you appreciate the geothermal nature. It’s just such a breathtaking place and atmosphere.

This video has to go viral Tim wow hope your home relaxing after all that stress

And just a few hours after you drove away from the Blue Lagoon the road you used was covered by the lava flow! Resort itself was spared (at least for now).

The volcanic eruption is the craziest thing! Wow what an experience most likely once in a lifetime!

Look..it’s a once in a lifetime experience..incredible..I would defiantly save up and book that place..wow…

You are famous now. Top commentator on iceland situation referring people to your video

Imagining myself as Tim calling Gabby from the airport ...."You'll never guess what just happened" adding in some hot puns. Kidding aside, the place looked stunning and glad you are safe my friend, always enjoy your videos. All my love to you and your beautiful fam!

That looked terrifying! 22:09

WOW - what an amazing footage! Glad that you were ok.

Holy smokes!!!! That's a rude awakening but so fascinating at the same time. Glad you were safe and they have a good procedure for their guests.

1:28 Talk about foreshadowing! I'm glad you're okay. Hopefully, the residents and their homes are, too. 🙏

All that foreshadowing 30 seconds in... 😱 Volcanic activity aside, that looks like an incredible stay!

Surpised the title wasn't 'I stayed in a hotel near a volcano - I was SHOCKED!!!'

The lava rock flowing in is beautiful, very similar cave rooms and hotels in Mykonos etc. worth a visit.

Fascinating film. I am glad you got to safety.

This will be a good watch! :)

Tim must be the funniest English RU-vidr. Always has me in hysterics

I flew the day of the eruption and could see the lava when I flew in. Booked a day at the lagoon that was sadly canceled and failed to see the Northern Lights. Iceland absolutely beautiful and will be back again

Beautiful. Relaxing and a bit surreal. Just the spot for de-stressing.

A very good tip if you go to Iceland and you have a bit of time (and a car), don't go to the blue lagoon. You can drive all the way to Mývatn in the North where you'll find some installation as big as the Blue lagoon, for half the price and half the tourists. There is no accommodation on site, but you got hotels nearby.

I would stay there - and for your expirence, that price was nothing. This must have been amazing. And I noticed how all the Icelandic were so calm,- the viking blood, I guess

Thank you, Tim, for the wonderful impressions of the hotel and the blue lagoon. You were really lucky that the fissure eruption wasn't directly in the blue lagoon. Hopefully the hotel and the blue lagoon will now remain closed. It's far too dangerous right now. The evacuation time was short and people could have died.

Omg that was so scary with the eruption!! So sorry for u Tim!!
