Most international visitors arrive at Keflavik Airport (KEF). Domestic Icelandair departures toward Akureyri use Reykjavik city airport (RKV), not KEF, requiring a ground transfer between airports. The domestic flight reaches Akureyri Airport (AEY), from which onward transport to Hjalteyri is arranged independently unless a tour explicitly includes pickup. Drivers can use Route 1 from Reykjavik, subject to season and warnings; Visit North Iceland also describes intercity bus service. Book diving against a realistic arrival schedule and never assume a same-airport connection (Icelandair airport guide).
Use Akureyri as the practical transport base and coordinate Hjalteyri dive sessions directly. Strytan tours include the equipment and transport described for the booked outing, while the Northern Water Circle uses a guide-led road itinerary; do not assume all hotel pickups or separate independent transfers are included.
