Við bjóðum uppá að senda farangur í Þórsmörk - Húsadal, Langadal og Bása. Það kostar 2000kr og greiðslan fer fram á BSÍ eða hjá bílstjóra ef farið er frá Hvolsvelli eða Hellu.

Gakktu úr skugga um að hlutir séu í vatnsheldum poka og séu vel merktir bæði með nafni og áfangastað. Vinsamlega athugið að farangurinn getur verið settur í eftirlitslaust herbergi eða kerru þar til hann er sóttur. Reykjavik Excursions tekur enga ábyrgð á farangri eftir að honum er skilað. Ekki þarf að bóka og greiða fyrir flutning á farangri sem þú tekur með þér í gönguferðina, aðeins ef þú ert að senda töskur á annan stað en þú ert að ferðast til.

Börn 3-4 ára (yfir 18 kg) geta notað öryggisbeltin sem eru í rútunum. Börn 1-3 ára verða að vera í barnabílstólum. Athugið að Reykjavík Excursions útvegar ekki barnabílstóla í Hálendisrútunni

Við bjóðum upp á flutning á hjólum til og frá hálendinu gegn vægu gjaldi. Það þarf að panta fyrirfram þar sem tekið er við takmörkuðum fjölda hjóla í hverri rútu. Til þess að panta þarf að senda okkur tölvupóst eða hringja. Verðið er 4.500 kr á hjól. Hjól eru geymd í farangursrýminu. Greiðslan verður afgreidd á staðnum í strætóstöð BSÍ eða hjá strætóbílstjóranum þínum ef þú ferð frá Hvolsvelli, Hellu eða öðrum stað á leiðinni okkar. Vinsamlegast athugaðu að þú gætir verið beðinn um að fjarlægja dekk eða petala. Reykjavík Excursions tekur enga ábyrgð á tjóni sem getur orðið við flutning á hjólum.
