Landmannalaugar to Reykjavik Bus Transfer Daily Service
A single ticket replaces the scramble of multiple connections after the highlands.
A scheduled daily bus transfer from Landmannalaugar to either Reykjavik or Hella in South Iceland, with a guaranteed seat, professional driver and Wi-Fi throughout the four-hour journey. Book in advance to secure your departure and avoid the uncertainty of piecing together separate rides. Luggage allowance and comfortable seating are included. Meals and drinks are available to purchase on board.
The experience
The bus leaves Landmannalaugar once daily on a fixed schedule, so you know exactly when your onward journey begins. You book your seat ahead of time: no waiting to see if space opens up, no last-minute scrambling for transport after a day in the colored mountains. The driver is experienced and English-speaking, and the route itself is part of the transition: you travel through rolling South Iceland farmland, past distant glaciers and volcanic peaks, watching the landscape shift from highlands toward the coast or city depending on which destination you chose.
If you're heading to Hella, the bus drops you at a central point, making it straightforward to reach local accommodations or connect with other transport. For Reykjavik, the journey continues through more varied terrain until you arrive at a central bus terminal or designated city stops, putting you within reach of hotels, attractions and onward connections. Wi-Fi runs throughout, so you can message ahead or plan your next move while the driver handles the road.
Luggage allowance covers one piece per passenger. Infants travel on an adult's lap. The journey suits all fitness levels. You're sitting the whole way. If you want food or drinks during the four hours, you can purchase them on board rather than bringing your own.
