Description

Travel from Reykjavik straight into Iceland’s Highlands with this bus transfer to Landmannalaugar, the ultimate gateway for outdoor adventurers. Whether you plan to hike, camp, or soak in the hot springs, this ride gets you there comfortably and stress-free.

This 4-hour transfer from Reykjavik takes you to one of Iceland’s most stunning hiking areas, known for its colorful rhyolite mountains, black lava fields, and natural pools. Reaching Landmannalaugar on your own can be tricky due to rough roads and river crossings, but with this service, you can simply sit back while an expert driver handles the journey.

Your trip begins early in the morning with a pickup at a designated meeting point in Reykjavik, where you will board a modern bus designed for Highland travel. Settle into a reclining seat, use the free Wi-Fi, and watch the views unfold through wide windows as the city fades into farmland and glacial rivers. 

About halfway, you’ll stop for 15 minutes in the riverside town of Hella, an ideal chance to grab a snack, stretch your legs, and use the facilities.

From there, the road becomes wilder. Gravel tracks, mountain paths, and river crossings lead you into the backcountry until the landscapes of Landmannalaugar appear before you. 

Many travelers use this transfer to start the famous Laugavegur Trail, while others come to relax in the hot pools or simply explore the volcanic scenery.

When you step off the bus in Landmannalaugar around 11:00, you’re greeted by a surreal landscape of colorful mountains and lava fields. From here, you can set out on your adventure, whether that means hiking the famous Laugavegur Trail, wandering shorter scenic routes, or soaking in the warm natural pools.

This bus transfer to Landmannalaugar is perfect for solo travelers who want a hassle-free way to reach the Highlands, as well as families or groups seeking a safe and convenient journey together. With no need to worry about driving through rough roads or river crossings, everyone can enjoy the ride and focus on the adventures that await in this stunning part of Iceland.

This Landmannalaugar bus transfer operates from June to early October, the peak hiking season in the Icelandic Highlands. Summer is the best time to visit, with accessible trails, long daylight hours, and sun-kissed landscapes creating the perfect backdrop for your adventure.

Enjoy a smooth and scenic ride into one of Iceland’s most remote destinations with this highlands bus transfer from Reykjavik to Landmannalaugar. Check availability now by choosing a date.
