Description
Open the door to Iceland’s colourful interior with a one-way Highland Bus journey from Reykjavík to Landmannalaugar. Beyond the southern farmland, the road enters Fjallabak—a world of black lava, steaming valleys and rhyolite mountains brushed with red, gold, green and pink.
The scheduled service removes the challenge of driving remote F-roads and delivers you to the heart of one of Iceland’s great hiking regions. Landmannalaugar offers short scenic walks, ambitious day routes, the starting point of the Laugavegur trail and a wonderfully rustic geothermal bathing stream.
Travel at your own pace once you arrive. Whether you are beginning a multi-day trek or building a memorable Highland day trip, this one-way connection gives you a practical, inspiring start.
Book your seat, pack your swimsuit and hiking shoes, and let the rainbow mountains draw you deep into Iceland’s wild interior.
