Description

Landmannalaugar is remote by design, but this practical transfer removes the need to drive a highland vehicle yourself. Settle into a comfortable bus in Reykjavík and watch the scenery grow wilder as the route heads through South Iceland.

A scheduled stop in Hella breaks the journey before the bus continues into the interior, where lava fields, mountain valleys and colourful ridges lead towards the Landmannalaugar base area.

This is transport rather than a guided sightseeing tour, ideal for independent hikers and travellers who want to organise their own time in the highlands.

  • Scheduled stop in Hella
