Hikers Pass Highland Bus Transfer from Reykjavik to Skogar

Set off on a smooth and stress-free adventure with a Skogar bus transfer from Reykjavik, designed for hikers heading to the legendary Fimmvorduhals Trail. With a Hikers Pass, you’ll secure your one-way transfer to Skogar and get access to one of Iceland’s most unforgettable hikes.

Your adventure begins with a scheduled morning pick-up at Reykjavik Laugardalur Campsite at 6:30 or BSI Terminal at 7:00. Step aboard a modern bus with air conditioning, wide windows for panoramic views, and plenty of legroom to relax before your hike.

Forget worrying about rugged roads or navigation. With a professional driver at the wheel, you can relax and enjoy Iceland's stunning landscapes as you travel south. The three-hour drive from Reykjavik to Skogar passes through wide valleys, lava fields, and sweeping views of glaciers in the distance.

When you arrive in Skogar in South Iceland, you'll step into a dramatic landscape shaped by waterfalls, cliffs, and volcanic terrain. Lush green meadows stretch toward the mountains, and traditional turf-roofed houses offer a glimpse of local heritage. 

Skogar is the perfect place to begin your 9–10 hour Fimmvorduhals hiking adventure or multi-day trek in the Icelandic Highlands.

The hike can begin with a climb up the staircase alongside Skogafoss, where you'll get the best views of the waterfall. Hiking from Skogar offers a steady, gradual incline that many find more manageable than starting from Thorsmork.

The Fimmvorduhals Trail is a stunning and challenging 18-mile (27-kilometer) hike between the Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull Glaciers. As you climb higher into the highlands, you'll pass dozens of waterfalls, cross black lava fields, and explore craters formed during the 2010 eruption.

Summer is the best season to hike the Fimmvorduhals Trail, with daily bus departures between mid-June and early September. During this season, longer daylight hours and improved trail conditions make for a safer, more enjoyable experience.

Booking your Skogar bus transfer is simple and worry-free. If you miss your scheduled ride, you can hop on the next available bus at no extra fee. We recommend booking your transfer at least 24 hours in advance, especially before weekends, to ensure your seat is confirmed.

Please note that the return trip to Reykjavik is not included in this booking and should be booked separately.
