About BusTravel Iceland
BusTravel Iceland is one of Iceland's highest-rated coach tour operators, tracing its roots back to 1960 when it began as Thingvallaleid, a small local bus service running to Thingvellir National Park. Today the company operates a modern fleet of comfortable coaches departing daily from their Reykjavik base at Skogarhlid 10, offering an extensive portfolio of day tours and multi-day adventures covering all of Iceland's major attractions.
Their day tour menu includes the Golden Circle, South Coast waterfalls, glacier lagoon, Snaefellsnes peninsula, Northern Lights hunts, volcano tours, and combination packages that pair sightseeing with activities like ATV riding, whale watching, snorkelling, or ice cave visits. Multi-day tours extend to the remote Westfjords, Highlands, and full ring road circumnavigations. All tours include knowledgeable English-speaking guides and complimentary hotel pickup from central Reykjavik.
BusTravel stands out for their consistently high review scores and small-group philosophy — they cap most tours at 19 passengers for a more personal experience than the large 50-seat operators. Their 60-plus years of operational history makes them one of Iceland's longest-established tourism companies, and their shore excursion programme serves cruise ship passengers docking at both Reykjavik and Akureyri harbours.
