Transportation

Self-drive/Rental car

There are two ways to get from the airport to Selfoss.

From Keflavik to Selfoss via Sudurstrandarvegur. This route is very convenient and is a direct route from Keflavik International Airport to South Iceland without driving through the traffic in Reykjavik and the capital area.

It is also possible to drive through Reykjavik and the capital area as seen here below, but the one above is more convenient.

Public Transportation

Participants using public transportation will have to take Flybus / Airport Direct / Grayline from Keflavik International Airport to Reykjavik Bus Terminal. From there, use the public transportation (Straeto) from Reykjavik Bus Terminal to Selfoss.

This is the only route from Keflavik International Airport to Selfoss.

Private Airport Transfer

If participants are traveling together in a group it is recommended to hire a coach service for their airport transfer to and from Keflavik to Selfoss. To check that option, please contact GT Travel located in Selfoss.
