Before you rely on this route
- Request only
SSL states that all departures are by request on +298 233320, between 07:00 and 20:00, with notice given at least two hours before departure. A bus you have not booked will not come.
- Book the return too
The same rule applies in the other direction, so book the trip back out of Gjógv at the same time as the trip in.
