Highland Bus

Getting there is part of the adventure!

Volcano Huts are located by the Húsadalur Valley in Þórsmörk, 30 kilometers up the famous F249 mountain road.

To reach Þórsmörk, you'll need to navigate gravel roads and cross rivers. We recommend enjoying this adventures ride in a modified 4x4 highland bus.

The easiest and safest way is to park your car and hop aboard the daily highland bus from Hvolsvöllur or Brú Base.

16 sept - 1 nov – the Highland bus makes one trip each day.
