The Full Guide
How to reach Iceland's lagoons without a rental car
Bus vs private transfer, airport soaks, and timing it with your flight.
Iceland’s most famous lagoons are surprisingly easy to reach without a rental car — and because the Blue Lagoon sits just 20 minutes from Keflavík Airport, a transfer often makes more sense than driving anyway. This page collects the buses and private cars that link the airport, Reykjavík and the lagoons, so you can plan the logistics as easily as the soak.
The airport-day trick
One of the most efficient ways to use a long layover is to visit the Blue Lagoon on your arrival or departure day. Flights from North America and Europe often land early; rather than checking into a Reykjavík hotel first, you can transfer straight from the terminal to the lagoon, store your luggage on-site, soak away the flight, and only then continue to the city. On the way out, you reverse it — a final soak before an evening flight home.
Bus or private?
- Scheduled buses are the cheapest option — a one-way transfer from around $31, or a round-trip for a little more. They run frequently between Reykjavík, the airport and the Blue Lagoon.
- Private transfers cost more but run on your schedule, with door-to-door pickup — ideal for families, groups or tight flight connections.
- Admission-with-transfer bundles wrap the entry ticket and the ride into one booking, for the Blue Lagoon and the Sky Lagoon alike.
Once you’ve sorted the ride, book the soak itself: the Blue Lagoon for the airport-day classic, or the Sky Lagoon if you’re based in the city. See every lagoon compared on our homepage.

"Smooth pick up and drop off. About 45 min journey."
"Coach trip was pleasant, drivers very courteous and offered various drop off points on return and advised the best stop for your destination"
"We took a walk to the Bsi bus station from Reykjavik, showed our voucher and got on the bus that had a sign with the blue lagoon. The journey was an eye opener as it was snowing and windy but the driver was very good, he slowed right down and took his time. Coming back we was ready before the bus came but they have a room where you can wait in the car park so your not in the rain or snow. The journey back was good with the driver giving us the opportunity to get off nearer to our hotels as the weather was awful."
"Very organised transfer from the manager n bus terminal to and from Blue Lagoon. Hourly schedule back to the city centre was very good as you can plan your return with no hassle."
"Relaxing. Just FAB. One of the best experiences ever. Slept like a baby."
"The roundtrip bus transfer from Reykjavik to the Blue Lagoon was very smooth and convenient. The pick-up process was well organised, with clear instructions on where to meet, and the transfer itself was comfortable and on time. The journey takes about 45 minutes and the scenery along the way is beautiful. The return transfer was flexible enough to allow a relaxed visit without feeling rushed, which I appreciated. Staff were helpful and the whole process felt straightforward, especially if you don’t want the stress of hiring a car. The only thing to note is that the bus can be quite full during peak times, so booking in advance is definitely recommended. Overall, a hassle-free and reliable option for getting to the Blue Lagoon."
"bus station at Reykjavik is easy to work out where you're going and the staff in there pointed us in the right direction when we asked. The coach was very comfortable, left on time, got us to our destination on time. the collection from the blue lagoon is really easy, walk out into the main car park and queue up! got on the bus really quickly to get back to Reykjavik ... perfect!"
