    Steps on the bus

    The bus ride and pick up were great. My only complaint is that the stairs getting into the buses were too high for some of us older people. It wasn’t until our tour was almost over with that one of the bus drivers put a ramp down so that my friend and I could get into the bus easier.

    Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found the bus service and pickup smooth, but we’re sorry that boarding was difficult for you and your friend. We understand how important accessible boarding is and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll share your comments with the relevant team for review. Warm regards, Patricia

    Amazing Northern Lights tour!

    The northern lights were amazing. Our guide was so knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the hot chocolate.

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you were able to enjoy the Northern Lights and that your guide’s knowledge made the experience even more special. We’re also glad you enjoyed the hot chocolate along the way! Kind regards, Sesili

    This was a reasonable way...

    This was a reasonable way to shuttle into town. Once you show your online purchased QR code (or in-person) - the airport booth person (near the exit) gives you a colored ticket - transfer to the BSI city center station then transfer to the inner city to bus stop # (near your hotel area). Expect about 1 hour & 30 min or more duration. Happy to get to take in a mini power nap 😀. Much needed!

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re pleased to hear that you found the Flybus a convenient way to reach the city and appreciated the straightforward transfer process. We hope you enjoyed your little power nap along the way and had a great start to your time in Reykjavík! Kind regards, Sesili

    Opinion of my experience

    Steps on bus, we’re barely navigable for handicap people. Instructions for when bus got to bus terminal we’re inaccurate. Guide bus from bus terminal to hotel was excellent.

    Response from the operator: Hello Judith, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that the connecting transfer from BSÍ to your hotel was excellent. We're sorry, however, that you found the bus steps difficult to navigate and that the instructions upon arrival at the terminal were not clear. We appreciate your feedback, particularly regarding accessibility and clearer transfer guidance, and will share it with the relevant team. Thank you for travelling with us. Kind regards, Inga

    Iceland transfer from airport to hotel

    It is abit of a walk from the terminal to the bus pick up area. The bus was clean and comfortable. You may need to transfer to a smaller bus to get to your hotel. It can also be a bit of a walk from the bus stop to your hotel, depending on location of hotel. Bus

    Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found the bus clean and comfortable. We understand that walking from the terminal to the pickup area and transferring to a smaller bus for hotel drop-off can be less convenient, particularly with luggage, and we appreciate you highlighting this for future travelers. We hope the overall journey was smooth and that you enjoyed your time in Iceland. Kind regards, Sesili

    Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport (KEF) to Reykjavik Hotels: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport (KEF) to Reykjavik Hotels cost?

    +

    Prices start at $52 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport (KEF) to Reykjavik Hotels take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport (KEF) to Reykjavik Hotels worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 437 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport (KEF) to Reykjavik Hotels?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport (KEF) to Reykjavik Hotels suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport (KEF) to Reykjavik Hotels?

    +

    Around 153 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport (KEF) to Reykjavik Hotels start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Airport Transfer: Keflavik Airport (KEF) to Reykjavik Hotels?

    +

    Included: On-board WiFi; Transfer from KEF airport to Reykjavík Hotels; Carbon Neutral transfer in cooperation with Vaxa Technologies; USB charger ports in every seat; and Drop off is included. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
