The journey between the Westman Islands and Landeyjahöfn is around 30 minutes in good conditions. the journey between the Westman Islands and Þorlákshöfn is around two hours 45 minutes.
When Herjólfur's scheduled journeys to Landeyjahöfn are cancelled, passengers with reservations have to bear a few things in mind. Below are the guidelines for such instances.
During the winter schedule, journeys that are scheduled at 08:00 and 15:30 from the Westman Islands are transferred automatically to Þorlákshöfn if Landeyjahöfn is closed. Other journeys are not transferred, so passengers have to re-book their journeys at Herjólfur's service points. Herjólfur's telephone system is usually quite buisy when journeys are cancelled, so the email
herjolfur@herjolfur.is can also be used.
It is not given that passengers with tickets for cancelled journeys are transferred to the next available journey, since a portion of that journey's capacity may already be booked.
It is possible that when Herjólfur's journeys are cancelled that passengers are not able to take their vehicles with them on the next possible journey, for the same reason as above.
