Even with the rain that happened all day the tour and tour guide was absolutely amazing! We absolutely recommend this experience. It was fun driving the four wheelers around and driving through the puddles!

Wonderful tour company and excellent tour guide, had the tour all to ourselves and our guide, Mario did an excellent job.

We had such fun on the ATV’s, cruising along trails and tracks full of wildflowers, and stopping at some great locations for photo opportunities. Daria our guide was happy and knowledgeable, picked us up on time and dropped us back to our hotel. Our first midnight sun experience!

This was such a fun trip. Our guide, Speedy Gonzales, was terrific. His instructions were clear and easy to follow. The views were awesome!!

A once in a lifetime exhilarating experience! If you come to Iceland and have the time, do it! The weather didn't cooperate as planned (it was drizzling & cloudy), but we got to ride for (over 20) miles on backroads/trails (and sometimes public roads to get us there). We had some amazing views overlooking the valleys of the area outside of Reykjavik. To know that we were out until almost midnight and being able to see the sights was amazing. Weronika, a sweet young lady from Poland, who has a passion for motorcross biking, was our wonderful guide for the evening (tour operator - please recognize her accordingly). She was patient with the (varied abilities) small group and took to unforgettable sights. Even though we had an early flight, we knew we wanted to sacrifice our sleep - and glad we did. A must do!

Even though I almost died (my fault), this was a great experience. Juan was my guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had an accident that cut my ride short but Juan was great in getting me the help I needed and the overall being a good guide. The safety gear and helmet they have you definitely protected me from serious injury. Even though I wiped out, I’d go back on this tour. The landscape and serenity of a late night ride are tough to beat.

Great time. Our guide was very informative and helpful for the new riders in the group.
And she made the trip very enjoyable for the more experienced participants.

This was so fun! It was pouring rain and so windy but we were so insulated with rain gear that we barely noticed. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. At one point we rode beside a herd of running horses It was so amazing. Something I'll never forget. Our guide Giulia was so sweet and made sure we were safe. She was fantastic!

This was a highlight of our stay! Our guide was amazing and the views were spectacular. Could not recommend this tour enough. Please be mindful that this tour may be hard if you have any hand weakness, as the ride gets quite bumpy when you go off road. This is a must do!!

Such a fun ride through beautiful scenic landscapes and natural settings - taking this in June to July you ride through fields or purple lupine… magical. Veronika was our guide and she did a great job
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the ride and got to experience the beauty of the lupine fields during your tour—June and July truly are magical months for the landscape here.
We're also delighted to hear Veronika made a great impression as your guide! She’s fantastic at what she does, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her.
We hope to see you again for another adventure in Iceland’s great outdoors!
Warm regards,

Such a fun tour. They give you all the gear you need and the trail is fun to ride. Our guide was super nice.
Sherry_T, Aug 2024
It was an overall fun experience but wish we picked a daytime one. When we went it was end of summer and getting dark earlier and couldn’t really experience the beauty of Iceland in the dark. It was also pouring rain. I also wish the instructor gave a little more guidance in the beginning as this was my first time using an ATV . Not for a beginners
Melissa_M, Aug 2024
Our guide was amazing. This adventure was full of all women riders plus one 17 year old and one guide. We will definitely do this again next time.
Erin_W, Aug 2024
Gorgeous sunset, exciting ride, and our guide Liesa was fantastic! A memory to cherish for years to come.
Barbara_A, Aug 2024
Even though we didn’t have sunset (cloudy), the experience was so fun, the guides were awesome, and we got to ride through some really amazing trails
Jackie_S, Jul 2024
I would definitely recommend this ATV tour. We didn’t have good weather so we couldn’t see the midnight sun. It was cloudy and drizzling rain. We thought they would cancel the tour, but glad they didn’t. The operator was really nice and they provided warm overalls to wear. I was not cold at all; and I’m from Florida so I was afraid of being too cold. We drove the ATV’s for 2 hours across streets and back roads up and down a mountain. I was with my husband and 2 teenage daughters. We all had a great time!
Julia_P, Jul 2024
watching the sunset over the city was the most beautiful thing ive ever seen and an unforgettable experience. the guides were kind, fun, and helpful and the whole thing was just incredible. definitely my best night in iceland
JENNIFER_V, Jul 2024
Our guide Ruben was phenomenal, friendly and lead us on an amazing ATV venture! I 100% recommend! Don’t forget your sunglasses!!
George_I, Jul 2024
100% worth booking! The guide was super nice, funny and attentive to everyone riding. He constantly looked back to make sure everyone was OK, and stopped a few times to let those that fell behind catch up, which was totally OK with everyone else, since they had great picture moments. I highly recommend this to anyone!
Kate_H, Jul 2024
The experience was like driving around on the moon within a snow globe! So unique! We brought our family of 5, 3 teenage daughters and everyone loved it!
Lauren_D, Jul 2024
This was such a great experience! I was a bit worried when it had rained all day that it was going to be cancelled or miserable, but you're equipped with the proper gear for this experience when you arrive, that made it incredibly fun and the water made it even better!
Highly recommend making the time for this experience, it's so much fun to see the different paths and landscapes from up close, especially given this was middle of the summer, the purple lupine flowers were EVERY-where and it was a stunning experience! ATVs were easy to operate, and if I wasn't comfortable operating my own solo, I had the option to go with the guide, which i didn't choose to do, it was too much fun driving on my own! :)

Marianna was an Amazing guide!! Beautiful views! Amazing pictures taken! Wish it’s longer, I didn’t want it to end
Jennifer_F, Jun 2024
This was excellent! So much fun. Guides were nice. I wish it was a little longer, but the winds were so bad we almost didn’t get to one stop but glad we did!
Stephanie_E, Aug 2023
gorgeous views amazing experience! The staff were careful and nice and the drive way exceptional. My daughter and I had a great time
Christine_W, Aug 2023
Great experience. So much fun. The scenery is off the charts, beautiful. We got to watch the sunset from two different points and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. This outfitter was top notch with great equipment and knowledge. We had kids all the way to seniors in our collective group so it is appropriate for all ages. Highly recommend!
Sadie_R, Aug 2023
Great guide! The views were outstanding and it was so much fun to ride the atvs and get to see Iceland in another way. This was one of our favorite activities from our vacation. We highly recommend.
Danielle_M, Aug 2023
Our guide Kris was awesome. He took us on a fun & thrilling ATV adventure. All 5 of us had a fantastic time. The views of Reykjavík are stunning. This is my second time taking the midnight sun ride & I’d do it again.

This is one of my favorite tours that I’ve ever been on! Louis promptly picked us up at 8:00 pm and drove us to the safari quad building. On the way, he was chatting and getting to know us which was so personable and lovely. They provided enough gear to keep us warm as we drove from 9 to 11 pm. During the trip, they split us into two groups. One that wanted to drive fast and the other who wanted to proceed with caution. I went with Louis and the entire way he would check to make sure we felt comfortable. The ATV was easy to operate and so much fun! Even though we didn’t see the midnight sun, we saw stunning views and it was a great way to explore Iceland! The tour company itself operated so smoothly and is one of the best
