Meeting DIVE.IS for your Silfra adventure
How the transportation service to Silfra works
The pick up service for the DIVE.IS tours is operated by our trusted partners at Reykjavik Excursions. The bus should look similar the ones shown below.
Snorkelers and divers that book a tour with transportation from Reykjavik will be picked up at their designated location and dropped off at BSI Bus Terminal. The tour will then depart from the BSI Bus Terminal in Reykjavik at the booked start time.

There are two start times:

11:30 start time

A few important points to keep in mind
- Pick-up is operated by Reykjavik Excursions, not by DIVE.IS. The pickup vehicles are buses, clearly marked with the Reykjavik Excursions logo.
- If your pick-up is directly from the hotel, please be ready outside of the hotel and visible to the driver. Keep in mind that the driver is not coming in to the lobby and will not call your name. If you see any RE bus pulling up, please approach the driver.
- If your pickup has not arrived 20 minutes after your pick-up time, please call Reykjavik Excursions at +354 580 5400.
- You will be taken to BSÍ Bus Terminal, and your bus to Silfra will depart from there.
- If you miss your pick-up, you must arrive at BSÍ Bus Terminal in time for your departure at your own cost. Departure times from BSI are 8:30 and 11:30.
- You are responsible for being ready and visible in time for your pick-up at your designated bus stop or outside your hotel/guesthouse.
- If in doubt, please review the map of all the Bus Stops.
- Some hotels located outside of the city center allow us to pick you up at their doorstep. You will find these hotels listed on our pick up locations list when you place your booking.
- Drop-off can be limited due to street closures and restrictions on the operation of buses in the city centre. Tour status can be checked here.
- Before arriving at Silfra, you will stop at Hakið viewpoint for about 10 minutes. Please make sure to get back on the bus to be driven the short drive to Silfra.
