There is no need to worry about river crossings, rough roads, or risking your rental car. Let an expert driver handle the rugged journey for you.

The journey starts at Kjorbudin Supermarket in Hella, where the bus picks you up for a smooth and easy ride. If you are arriving in Hella in South Iceland with your own car, you can leave it safely parked at Sudurlandsvegur 1 next to the service center, free of charge. 

Please be outside and ready when your bus is scheduled to arrive. All travelers are advised to be at this pick-up location a few minutes before the bus departure.

The highland bus to Thorsmork is designed for your comfort and enjoyment. You will find ample leg space and large windows, perfect for sightseeing.

Each bus has a pneumatic suspension system that ensures a smooth ride even across the roughest terrain. Every detail is made to help you relax and enjoy the incredible views throughout your journey.

Since river conditions make access tricky, highland buses only run during the warmer season. Two departures run daily during summer, giving you flexible options for your trip. 

The Thorsmork highland bus takes about two hours to reach your destination, offering a journey filled with Iceland’s rugged beauty. Along the way, you will cross lively rivers, roll past sweeping fields, and pass the charming town of Hvolsvollur. 

Arriving in Thorsmork, you can be dropped off at either the Basar basecamp or Langidalur basecamp. From here, you can explore the nature reserve independently or with your pre-booked tour.

In Norse mythology, Thorsmork is where Thor’s mighty hammer, Mjolnir, struck the earth and carved the valley you see today. It remains one of Iceland’s most breathtaking locations and a paradise for hikers.

In Thorsmork, you can explore the Laugavegur Trail, one of the world’s top long-distance hiking routes. Or take on the Fimmvorduhals Trail, which winds between glaciers and volcanic craters. Both trails reveal some of the most dramatic scenery in South Iceland.

You can also walk toward the icy tongues of Gigjokull Glacier or admire the rugged peaks of the Tindfjoll mountains. Every trail here promises unforgettable views and fresh discoveries at every turn.

Please note that your return transfer to Hella or Reykjavik is not included in this Thorsmork transfer and should be booked separately.
