Getting There & Away
Vík is a major stop for all Reykjavík-Höfn bus routes; buses stop at the N1 petrol station.
Bus 51 Reykjavík-Vík-Höfn (Reykjavík-Vík Ikr4900, 2¾ hours, two daily) If you take
the early bus you can stop in Vík then continue on to Höfn on the later bus; however, from
September to May service is reduced and you can't count on that connection.
