Highlights Passport Kjölur and the Sprengisandur routes, plus south coast and northern
area around Akureryri/Húsavík - but no coverage in the east, from My ́ vatn to Höfn (7/11/15
days Ikr46,500/66,000/80,000).
Highland Circle Passport Valid for one circular route taking in the Sprengisandur and
Kjölur routes; also covers Reykjavík to Skaftafell (Ikr44,000).
Combo Passport Combines the Ring Road (except for the western part) and the two high-
land routes, plus a few additional south-coast routes (7/11/15 days Ikr58,000/77,000/
91,500).
Hiking on Your Own This is the best-seller, and with good reason. If you're hiking
Laugarvegur, it lets you get dropped at Landmannalaugar and picked up at the route's end
in Þórsmörk (or vice versa). If you're hiking Fimmvörðuháls, you can transfer between
Skógar and Þórsmörk (Ikr12,500).
Sterna Passports
Sterna has two passports utilising its network. Pros: cheaper than the opposition. Ser-
vices the entire Ring Road (including the west coast), and has a highland route too (Kjölur,
but not Sprengisandur). Cons: limited routes off the Ring Road.
East Circle Passport Reykjavík to Varmahlíð via the Kjölur route, then follows the Ring
Road around the country (Ikr39,500).
Full Circle Passport Travels the Ring Road, pure and simple (lkr37,500).
