Reykjavik Keflavik Airport Transfer

Must Do Experiences

• Board the airport shuttle and enjoy the scenic drive from Keflavik Airport into the heart of Reykjavik, watching the landscape shift from volcanic terrain to colorful city streets. Take advantage of the round-trip convenience to explore Iceland at your own pace, starting and ending your adventures right from the BSI Bus Terminal. Stop by local cafés near the terminal to sample traditional Icelandic skyr and fresh baked goods before setting off on your journey.

Hidden Gems

• The bus route from Keflavik to Reykjavik passes near the Blue Lagoon — ask your driver for tips on a quick detour if you have time before your transfer. BSI Bus Terminal is more than a transit hub; it is also a cultural meeting point where locals gather, so arrive a little early to soak in the atmosphere. Look out for street art and murals in Reykjavik as you ride through the city — they tell stories of Iceland’s creative spirit.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to experience this transfer is during the summer months of June to August when the midnight sun provides extended daylight hours and the roads are in optimal condition. For those who want to catch the Northern Lights on their final night in Iceland, a late-evening transfer back to Keflavik Airport in the autumn or winter months is a magical way to end your trip.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Capture the otherworldly volcanic scenery along the route between Keflavik and Reykjavik — the contrast of black lava fields against the blue sky makes for stunning photographs. If traveling in winter, look out for snow-dusted landscapes and the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights visible from the bus window on your return to the airport. Keep your camera ready for the moment the city skyline of Reykjavik comes into view, with its colorful rooftops and the iconic Hallgrímskirkja church standing tall.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Icelanders value punctuality and politeness, so arriving a few minutes before your scheduled transfer time is appreciated. Tipping is not expected in Iceland as service charges are included, but a warm thank you to your driver is always well received. When boarding the bus, greet others with a simple hello — Icelanders may be reserved at first but are incredibly friendly once you break the ice.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

• Iceland Airwaves — a renowned music festival held every November in Reykjavik, drawing international artists and travelers from around the world. The Reykjavik Arts Festival — a vibrant celebration of contemporary art, music, and performance that takes place annually in August.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

• Always fasten your seatbelt during the transfer, as Icelandic roads can have sudden curves and changing weather conditions. Keep your valuables secure and within sight while traveling, especially at busy transit points like Keflavik Airport and BSI Bus Terminal. In winter months, dress warmly in layers as temperatures can drop significantly, and inform your driver if you need extra time to board with bulky winter gear or ski equipment.
