So you’ve landed on what seems to be the moon. Now what?

If this is your first trip to Iceland, you may feel like you’ve landed on the moon, thanks to the lava fields surrounding Keflavik International Airport. Although it may not seem like it, you have in fact landed in civilisation and airport transfer in Iceland is readily available. Our Keflavik airport shuttle is called the Flybus and here’s why you should take it.

1) It’s quick and reliable

The trip between Keflavik Airport and downtown Reykjavik takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic. Our schedule is connected to every passenger flight going through Keflavik Airport so no matter your arrival/departure time or flight delays, there will always be a Flybus waiting for you and you are guaranteed a seat.

2) It’s convenient

Our busses are situated right outside the terminal. You literally just have to walk out of the terminal building and board a bus. The bus terminal in Reykjavik is the conveniently situated BSI bus terminal downtown and you can also opt for a drop off at your accommodation*.

3) It’s cheap

We know you probably don’t think anything is cheap in Iceland but keep in mind that this is a very budget-friendly option. Should you opt to take a taxi, be prepared to pay up to six times the price. A rental car is even more expensive and here’s a bonus fact in case you didn’t know: there are no trains in Iceland.

4) It’s environmentally friendly

Taking a bus is always going to be your most environmentally-friendly option seeing as the more people aboard the vehicle, the less emission per passenger, the better for the environment. But that’s not all. Reykjavik Excursions operates a strict environmental policy, adhering to the ISO 14001 Environmental Standard and operating new low-emission vehicles. If you’re thinking of the environment, this is a no-brainer.

5) It’s comfortable

Our busses are the best and we’re not just saying that. Reykjavik Excursions operates a new, environmentally friendly and comfortable fleet, complete with complimentary WiFi on all our vehicles.

We think we’ve made our case, so board a Flybus, relax and enjoy the extraordinary views of the Reykjanes peninsula’s lava fields, stretching out to those magical mountains on the horizon.
