Highland Bus – Landmannalaugar to Reykjavík
About this tour
Experience the raw, untamed beauty of Landmannalaugar, where you can immerse yourself in epic landscapes and traverse well-marked hiking trails in a truly unique, remote atmosphere. As the starting or finishing point of the iconic 55 km Laugavegur trail, this destination offers you the chance to trek through to the lush green wonderland of Þórsmörk over the course of three to four days. If a multi-day hike isn't on your agenda, you can simply soak in the stunning surroundings and relax in a natural hot spring.
Navigating the Icelandic highlands requires expertise, as the routes consist of challenging dirt tracks and gravel roads that are strictly inaccessible to regular vehicles. To ensure your journey is safe and seamless, Reykjavik Excursions operates specialized highland buses equipped to handle these demanding conditions. With professional drivers at the helm, you can confidently traverse the rugged terrain without the stress of managing the difficult road conditions yourself.
The Highland Bus runs daily between Reykjavik, Skógar, Þórsmörk, and Landmannalaugar, providing a reliable connection for nature-loving hikers and travelers alike. By choosing this service, you gain the freedom to explore the highlands at your own pace while leaving the logistics to the experts.
