Shuttle Bus to the DC3 Plane Wreck

At the scheduled time, we'll meet you at the Sólheimasandur Beach car park. The bus will take you to the area around the DC3. After just a 15-minute drive, you'll arrive at the DC3 Plane Wreck. This US Navy aircraft was on a routine flight from Höfn to Stokksnes in 1973 but made an emergency stop on an icy river at Sólheimasandur due to severe icing. There were no fatalities, and since then, this plane wreck has become a popular spot for visitors. You'll have free time to explore the plane and take pictures. Once you've finished, you'll return to the bus to go back to the starting point.

Schedule

The bus operates roundtrip journeys between Vík and the DC3 crash site from 10 am to 5 pm. You can stay at the crash site for as long as you wish within this timeframe.
