Bus Transfer from Landmannalaugar to Hella and Reykjavik

A relaxed, scenic ride from Iceland's volcanic highlands back to the capital


The Landmannalaugar to Reykjavik bus transfer connects one of Iceland's most remote highland destinations to the capital with a scheduled stop in the village of Hella, offering travelers a dependable and comfortable return journey without requiring a private vehicle or self-drive navigation.

The route passes through some of the most visually striking terrain in southern Iceland, where lava fields, rhyolite mountains, and open plains create a shifting panorama for the entire duration of the trip. Passengers can sit back and absorb the scenery without the stress of highland road conditions.

A midway stop at the Olís Petrol Station in Hella provides access to restaurants, shops, and restroom facilities, giving travelers a chance to stretch and restock before continuing onward to Reykjavik. This pause also serves as a drop-off point for guests staying in the Hella area.

The service operates on a fixed schedule, departing from the main parking area at Landmannalaugar and arriving in Reykjavik in the early evening. It is an ideal option for hikers completing the Laugavegur Trail or day visitors finishing their highland exploration.
