Itinerary

ATV Tour

Following hotel pickup in downtown Reykjavik, transfer to the ATV center to meet your adventure guide and get set up with your gear. Listen to a short safety briefing and instruction on how to operate your ATV, then don the provided thermal overalls, rain gear, helmets, balaclavas and gloves.

Follow off-road trails through deep snow as the darkness falls and enjoy panoramic views over the Icelandic landscape from the top of the mountain.

Golden Circle Tour

Board a comfortable coach around midday and head out of town to explore the Golden Circle's most important sites. After the morning spent quad biking, you'll welcome the chance to rest your legs.

Thingvellir National Park is the site of the world’s first parliament over 1000 years ago. meeting place of two tectonic plates, an area of natural beauty. Thingvellir has about as much historical and geological significance as you can get. If you are in Iceland, you have to visit Thingvellir.

See the bubbling mud pools, steaming, sulfurous smells, and exploding water towers at Geysir. Strokkur geyser shoots boiling water high into the air every 8-10 minutes, so have your camera at the ready.

At Gullfoss Waterfall, see the river Hvíta thunder through a rocky canyon, where it shoots up an endless spray and thunderous noise.

We were collected on time from our guest house by our tour guide Leif and taken to the safari ATV centre. Absolutely amazing experience with a great tour guide Leif was very informative about not only the quad bikes but the place we rode around too. This is a tour not to be missed we were dropped off at the grey line bus terminal for the afternoon golden circle tour which is another tour not to be missed.
