Transfer from Reykjavik-Keflavik Airport to Garður Lighthouse
The journey follows Route 41 (Reyknesbraut), a modern dual carriageway that sweeps north from Keflavík Airport across the dramatic volcanic landscape of Reykjanes Peninsula. You'll pass expansive lava fields and open terrain before approaching the coastal settlement of Garður, with views opening toward the coast and surrounding moorland. The drive typically takes 13 minutes under normal conditions.
Your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal where your flight lands, holding a name sign.
