About this experience
Flying to Akureyri, Egilsstaðir or Ísafjörður? This private transfer takes you between Reykjavík City Airport (RKV) and your accommodation, just you and your group, with no other passengers and no shared stops. Book one way, or a round trip with both transfers in one booking.
Arriving at RKV
Your driver tracks your flight and meets you in the arrivals hall with a tablet showing your name, helps with your luggage and takes you to your door. The drive into central Reykjavík usually takes around 10 minutes.
Flying out of RKV
Your driver picks you up at your accommodation at the time you choose and drops you at the terminal entrance, in good time for your flight.
RKV or KEF?
RKV is the domestic airport in the city. International flights land at Keflavík (KEF), about 45 minutes away, and we have a separate transfer for that.
Choose a Private Sedan for 1-3 passengers or a Private Van for up to 8 passengers with room for luggage. One price per vehicle, not per person.

Cancellation for this tour
Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for
- Not for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 00:30, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.
- Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

Lovely hour-long cruise round the Utrecht canal. Friendly guide with lots of information about the history and people of Utrecht. Prices were very reasonable, and longer trips available if you wanted.
★★ · a year ago
We Bootes a place to see the grachten in Utecht. Unfortunately there were no explanations or informations about the area or buildings at all. So Next time I would Book another ship

Five stars service - super nice and helpful staff We booked the boat for a bachelorette party. We had a few logistical challenges prior and on the day itself - and Varen in Utrecht staff were so helpful and kind to help us to find solutions. On th day itself, Max - our captain- went out of his way (quite literally, by picking up the bride by boat at a location that would be easily accessible by car). Moreover, as the bride wasn't able to get to the spot until 40 minutes later, Max at his own initiative even extended our time because the next reservation wasn't until half an hour later after our initial time was supposed to end. How incredibly kind is that? A million thanks to the lovely people of this company - would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Visitors of Utrecht often forget that its canals are just as attractive as those in Amsterdam and the best way to see them is by boat. Good angles for photography as well.

- Akureyri Airport transfer: bus, shuttle or privateAkureyri Airport is a few minutes from town. A seat on the flight bus costs about €11 to €18; a private car is from €240 and only makes sense for a group.
- Best Way from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík (2026)Shared bus, private car, or the Blue Lagoon on the way: the Keflavík Airport transfers we would book ourselves, with real per-car prices.

City tours — questions people ask
Do I need a city tour of Reykjavík?
Probably not. Reykjavík's centre is small enough to walk end to end in twenty minutes, and Hallgrímskirkja, Harpa, the Old Harbour and Laugavegur are all on the way. A short driven tour (/experience/1194803/) makes sense if you have limited mobility, a few hours between a flight and a tour, or want the outer sights like Perlan and Grótta without a bus. Otherwise, walk, and spend the money on a food walk.
How many days do you need in Reykjavík?
One full day for the city itself, plus however many days you use it as a base for tours. Most people spend the first and last nights here and take day trips to the Golden Circle, the South Coast and the sea. Three to four nights in Reykjavík with three day tours is a sensible first Iceland trip. Longer than that, move on; the country is the point.
What is the Imagine Peace Tower and when is it lit?
A column of light on Viðey island, just off Reykjavík, dedicated by Yoko Ono to John Lennon. It is lit each year from 9 October, Lennon's birthday, to 8 December, the date he died, plus a few other dates including New Year. Elding runs an evening ferry and walk to the tower (/experience/1301/) during the lighting season. Outside those dates the island is still worth an hour for the walk and Richard Serra's sculptures.
Is Viðey island worth visiting?
For a quiet two hours, yes. The ferry (/experience/1539/) takes twenty minutes from the Old Harbour in summer and five from Skarfabakki all year. There is a cafe in the old house, a small church, walking paths and views back across the city. Nothing on it is dramatic, and it is exposed to wind, so pick a calm day. It suits a spare afternoon better than a planned one.
