Whether starting a multi-day trek or planning a day of geothermal bathing and mountain hiking, this 2-hour service is the most reliable way to get to Landmannalaugar without the hassle of driving yourself.
The journey begins at the Kjorbudin Supermarket in Hella, a convenient location along Iceland’s Ring Road. Hella is a small town in South Iceland along the banks of the Ytri-Ranga River and is 59 miles (95 kilometers) from Reykjavik.
You can choose from two departure times based on your travel date and preference: 09:10 in the morning or 14:10 (2:10 PM) in the afternoon. Make sure to arrive a few minutes early before departure to ensure a smooth boarding process.
Once on board, you’ll be welcomed by a professional driver and a specially equipped Highland bus designed to handle the rugged terrain of the Icelandic interior. With reinforced suspension and expert navigation, these vehicles are built for river crossings, steep paths, and rocky gravel tracks.
As the bus leaves the lowlands, the scenery gradually shifts from farmlands and rolling hills to volcanic deserts and untamed mountain landscapes. The drive takes around two hours under favorable road and weather conditions. The travel offers impressive views of Iceland’s raw geological features along the way.
Depending on the conditions and time of year, you might catch glimpses of Mount Hekla, Eyjafjallajokull Glacier Volcano, and vast stretches of ancient lava fields shaped by centuries of eruptions. This leg of the journey alone is an experience worth savoring.
Landmannalaugar, located in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve, is your final stop. You’ll be dropped off near the mountain huts and campsite, giving you direct access to some of the country’s best hiking trails.
Landmannalaugar is best known for its rainbow-colored rhyolite mountains, steaming geothermal vents, and sprawling lava fields. It’s also part of the world-famous Laugavegur Hiking Trail, which stretches along the southern Highlands.
If you’re traveling to Landmannalaugar, don’t forget to bring your swimsuit and towel. After any hike or sightseeing, soaking in the area’s natural hot springs is a must-do experience.
Please note that your return transfer to Hella or Reykjavik is not included in this transfer and should be booked separately.
