Transport
Icelandair and Icelandexpress take you to Iceland from the rest of the world.
Sunday the 15th of August, the group will depart from Reykjavík on an exotic bus trip over the Icelandic highlands to the destination at Hólar. The bus leaves at 11:00 from the Reykjavik bus terminal (BSI). On the way, we will see Geysir, Gullfoss and the hot springs of Hveravellir. The trip will take approximately six hours depending on the stopovers. We will offer a lunch-box in the bus for each participant. A bus will take us back, this time on the national road, on Friday the 20th of August. The trip back will take around 4 hours. The bus arrives at Reykjavik bus terminal at 22:00.
