✈️ Airport Transfers

Keflavik International Airport (KEF) is located about 50 km from Reykjavik, approximately a 45-minute drive. Our private airport transfers provide the most comfortable and convenient way to travel between the airport and your accommodation in Iceland.

💡 Pro Tip: For arrivals, our driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign. For departures, we recommend pickup 3 hours before your flight to allow plenty of time.

♨️ Blue Lagoon Transfers

The Blue Lagoon is conveniently located between Keflavik Airport and Reykjavik—making it the perfect stopover on your arrival or departure day. Our private Blue Lagoon transfers let you combine your airport journey with a relaxing geothermal spa visit.

💡 Pro Tip: Book the Blue Lagoon stopover on your arrival day! After a long flight, there’s nothing better than soaking in warm geothermal waters. Your luggage stays securely in our vehicle.

Important: Blue Lagoon admission must be pre-booked separately due to limited capacity. We offer a 2-hour standard stopover, with extra time available for an additional fee.

🚢 Cruise Ship Transfers

Arriving or departing by cruise ship? We provide private transfers between Reykjavik’s cruise terminals (Skarfabakki and the old harbor), Keflavik Airport, and hotels. Our drivers are familiar with all cruise terminal locations and pickup procedures.

📍 Note: Due to ongoing construction at Skarfabakki, pickup times may vary by 15-20 minutes. Our drivers will contact you to coordinate the exact meeting point.

🏔️ Special Destination Transfers
