Getting to and from Hotel Saga

Flybus

The “Flybus” can be taken immediately outside the airport building. It will drop you off at Hotel Saga and will also collect you and take you to the airport (just make sure the reception at Hotel Saga books it for you). Duration to or from the airport: 40 - 50 minutes. Price (one-way): ISK 1,200

Taxi

A taxi between the airport and Hotel Saga, one way, costs around ISK 6,500 during the day and around ISK 9,000 during evenings and weekends. The taxis can be found outside the airport building or can be ordered at the reception of the hotel.

Evening Get-Together

The evening will begin with a short sightseeing trip on the way to the world famous Blue Lagoon (www.bluelagoon.com/), Iceland's most unique and popular attraction. Guests will enjoy bathing and relaxing in Blue Lagoon geothermal seawater, known for its positive effects on the skin.

This will be followed by a delicious dinner at the modern Blue Lagoon Restaurant, which has a spectacular view over the lagoon.

The Blue Lagoon is about a 40 minute drive from Reykjavik. A coach will be arranged to collect people at the Hotel Saga and return people to the Hotel Saga later in the evening.

Price per person: US$ 100.

This needs to be pre-booked and can be ordered via the registration form. If your spouse is visiting Iceland with you, he/she is welcome to attend and can also be booked via the registration form.

Please note: People need to bring swimming costume and towel or rent them at the Blue Lagoon.
