Why Private Transport Makes a Big Difference
Direct Hotel Pickup & Drop-Off
No need to navigate bus schedules or taxi lines. A private transfer picks you up at your hotel door and drops you off at the lagoon entrance—or vice versa. Ideal if you’ve just arrived from a long flight or are wrapping up your Iceland trip.Flexible Timing
Public transfers run on fixed schedules. Private trips adjust to your needs. Want to stop at a lighthouse or lava field en route? Prefer to leave early to avoid crowds? We make it work.Comfort & Luggage Space
Especially useful if you’re traveling with family, large bags, or just want a more comfortable ride after spa time. Our vehicles are spacious, heated, and well-maintained.Pair with Sightseeing or Airport Transfer
You can easily turn your visit into a half-day private tour—combine the Blue Lagoon with the Reykjanes Peninsula, lava landscapes, or schedule it with your departure transfer to KEF. Many travelers prefer this combo to make the most of their last day.
When a Private Transfer Makes the Most Sense:
You’re visiting with kids, elders, or in a group
You’re arriving or leaving the country (flights and spa go well together)
You value privacy, flexibility, and ease
You’re on a honeymoon or anniversary trip
You simply want the day to feel like a true Icelandic wellness experience, not a bus ride
