Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car in the Highlands, start from the nearest main route, which is Route 1 (the Ring Road). From there, take Route 26 towards Þingvellir and continue until you reach the junction with Route 30. Follow Route 30 until you reach the intersection with Route 32, then turn onto Route 32. Continue on Route 32 until you see signs for Nauthúsagil, which is located at M4FR+HC2, 861 Stóridalur. The drive will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on road conditions. Make sure to check the weather and road conditions before heading out, as some routes may be closed during certain seasons.

Public Transportation

If you are using public transportation, you will first need to take a bus from Reykjavík to the Highlands. Look for bus services like Sterna or Strætó that operate routes to the Highlands. Once you arrive at the nearest town to Nauthúsagil, you might need to arrange for a taxi or shuttle service to cover the remaining distance, as public transport options to remote locations may be limited. Make sure to check the bus schedules in advance, as the frequency may vary, especially during off-peak seasons. The entire journey could take several hours, so plan accordingly.

Taxi or Shuttle

For those who prefer a more direct route after reaching the nearest town via public transport, consider booking a taxi or shuttle service to take you directly to Nauthúsagil. It's advisable to arrange for this in advance, particularly during the tourist season, as availability may be limited.
