Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, head towards Kálfhóll 2, 804, which is the address for Íslandshestar. From the Highlands, take Route 1 (the Ring Road) and head south towards Selfoss. After approximately 50 km, take the exit onto Route 35 towards Þingvellir. Continue on Route 35 for about 30 km, then turn left onto Route 36 towards Laugarvatn. After around 10 km, look for signs directing you to Kálfhóll, and follow them until you reach Íslandshestar. The drive typically takes about 1.5 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions.

Public Transportation

For those using public transportation, first take a bus from your location in the Highlands to the nearest major bus terminal, such as Akureyri or Reykjavik. From there, catch a bus heading to Selfoss. Once in Selfoss, you will need to transfer to a local bus service that operates routes towards Laugarvatn. Check the schedules on the bus company's website for the most accurate timing. After arriving in Laugarvatn, you can take a taxi for the final leg of the journey to Kálfhóll 2, where Íslandshestar is located. Total travel time may vary but plan for at least 3-4 hours including transfers.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route after arriving in Laugarvatn, consider hiring a taxi to take you directly to Íslandshestar. This option is convenient but can be more expensive. Make sure to confirm the fare with the driver before starting your journey. The taxi ride should take around 15-20 minutes from Laugarvatn to Kálfhóll.
