Has anyone taken the bus system from Reykjavik to Landeyjahofn? I’m planning on taking the ferry to the Westman Islands for a couple of days (via ferry) and was hoping to use public transportation. I’m having trouble navigating the Straeto website and not certain there is bus service on Saturdays and Mondays. Any help would be appreciated 😊

What are the dates of your trip? That would help.

The public buses are not meant for visitors really since they are limited in their routes and the days. I would encourage you to email the ferry company as they are incredibly helpful with this kind of stuff.
Not knowing when you trip is, I will give this general warning. The first full weekend in August is the largest music festival in Iceland. The population of Heimaey is 4k, but on that weekend 22K more people show up for it, so it is a madhouse! The ferry is packed to the gills. We left the day the festival was starting and sitting in the ferry line waiting to board was the best people watching you could imagine, lol.
