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 DC3; after just a 15-minute drive, you'll arrive at the wreck. This US Navy aircraft was on a routine flight from Höfn to Stokksnes in 1973 but was forced to land on an icy river at Sólheimasandur due to severe icing. There were no fatalities. The wreck has become a popular spot for visitors. You will have some free time to explore and take pictures before returning to the bus to go back to the starting point.

Schedule

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