The Blue Lagoon of Buxton may sound like a dreamy spot, but don't be fooled by its name! This quirky attraction in England isn't safe for swimming due to its super alkaline water that can give you all sorts of skin and stomach troubles. Despite the warnings, some brave souls still take a dip (not recommended!). Originally a limestone quarry, the site was flooded over time, creating the vibrant blue waters that have now been dyed black to deter swimmers. While it may not be a swimmer's paradise, the Blue Lagoon still draws curious visitors eager to snap some pics and uncover its fascinating history.

Embark on a thrilling adventure with the Lagoon Trip in Uig, exploring the breathtaking beauty of Loch Roag and Pabbay. Keep your eyes peeled for playful seals, majestic sea eagles, and adorable otters as you cruise through the crystal-clear waters. Glide through enchanting sea caves, marvel at natural arches, and relax on sandy beaches surrounded by the stunning blue lagoon. Lift lobster pots to uncover the day's catch and immerse yourself in the rich marine wildlife of the Outer Hebrides. This action-packed excursion is perfect for all ages, promising an unforgettable experience filled with excitement and wonder!
