An amazing way to see Iceland from the mountains. The ATVs are fun and the off-road paths easy to navigate. Björgvin is a native and was the perfect narrator to the experience. Highly highly recommend!!

Great fun

Family ATV Adventure

smills3082, Jun 2025

Our ATV adventure was great starting from the communication regarding pick up/drop off, to the short drive back at our bus stop. The off road driving was a blast for our family of four and the views from the top were spectacular! We would recommend this experience to others that want a little adventure near Reykjavik.

10/10 experience!

Ellen_P, Mar 2025

Amazing tour so so pleased we did this! Weather was perfect, a blizzard at the lake then clear sunny skies at the top of the mountain. Incredible views, warm equipment throughout & excellent tour guide!

Great experience

Samantha_W, Nov 2024

ATV tour

LauraHayward, Oct 2024

An amazing ATV tour into the mountains. It’s was freezing cold and pouring with rain, and we should have been miserable. But we were warm and dry in our suits, and had brilliant fun splashing through the puddles. Our guide was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend

Great ATV ride overlooking Reykjavik

Randy_S, Sep 2024

Great ATV ride to a lake and to a mountain top overlooking Reykjavik. We would do the trip again. No problems. We were picked up at the cruise ship terminal.

quad adventure

William_H, Oct 2023

The orientation and fitment process was organized and comprehensive for all levels. Good up to date machinery and a great guide

A thrilling ride

Patricia_N, Sep 2023

This event was the highlight of our trip to Iceland! Borgvin (sp?) was incredibly kind and patient with us... I was traveling with my 93-year-old friend, and he made us feel that we were in good hands the entire time! The view at the mountaintop was spectacular. I highly recommend this experience.

A excellent quad tour!

Doug_H, Jul 2023

I will admit I was a bit skeptical of this quad tour, but my wife wanted to try it. Turns out it was a lot of fun and getting off the beaten path gave us another perspective on the Icelandic countryside. The quads were fun and easy to drive. Our guide was informative and a nice guy. I would definitely do it again!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for good words. Yes it is always fun out there and you are always welcome. See you next time :)

Fun ATV ride

Zanetta_R, Mar 2023

This was an excellent experience with a wonderful guide. I’d never driven an ATV before, but our guide was knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend this experience.

Quick gaunt out of the city

Stephanie_P, Mar 2023

Fabulous trip! Perfect amount of time for a quick tour to get out of the city. Burkewin (sorry if my spelling is off) was very attentive to us and let us stop at a few locations to snap some pictures. Would 10/10 recommend this tour!!!

Adrenline fuelled fun!

Patricia_W, Feb 2023

Amazing experience! We had so much fun on this tour. Exceptional views whilst we went up the mountain amd stopped at the lake. Brilliant price considering ot included pick up & drop off! Highly recommend this trip!

Amazing Tour!

Wendy_R, Oct 2022

In my group there was only three people which was amazing! Our tour guide gave clear instructions and kept making sure everyone was comfortable riding the ATV and made sure we were all warm since it gets pretty cold with all the wind. 10/10 would recommend this tour ended up being one if my favorites!

Great solo rider...

Milene_M, May 2022

Great solo rider experience. The distance we ride could maybe be a bit longer, but the landscape is beatiful though. Maybe the 1h experience is a bit expensive.

Fabulous experience, not to be missed

Valerie_I, Mar 2022

Fab first day in Iceland and what a way to see part if it . Picked up at our hotel , short drive to the garage , dressed up in all the gear , instructions clear and helpful and away we went . Our guide was great , explained all we needed to know and gave us time to get used to the bikes . Fabulous scenery, stops for pictures and lots of information about our route and the island in general. Would definitely recommend if you feel like an exciting few hrs .

Olivia_E, Mar 2022

Such an incredible experience! I was lucky enough that I was the only one on the tour. It was definitely the highlight of my trip to Iceland, the views along the way are absolutely stunning and the guide is super lovely.

Best experience in Iceland

Vincent_L, Jan 2022

Truly such an amazing experience. Highly recommend this tour!! The owner took us on the tour and I can’t not say enough nice things about him. So kind and friendly. This tour ended up being a “private” tour due to the weather and low season in Iceland but I was not complaining. My cousin and I had the best time and would’ve rode for hours and hours if we could. The views were insane as well and trail we went on was easy but thrilling.

Amazing!

claire_w, Jan 2022

Amazing experience in the snow! Good duration of tour and friendly guide! Many thanks to the tour guide who made this experience super!

Atv tur 2tim

Mikael_B, Jun 2023

Atv tur 2tim som ledde upp på ett berg. Vi fick köra max 45min inte värt pengarna välj en Annan tur som är längre samt att guiden behöver ett större engagemang.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hallå. Tråkigt att höra att din upplevelse inte motsvarade förväntningarna. Resan du valde tar säkert 2 timmar, men då ingår hämtning och avlämning. Texten säger att själva resan är ca 1 timme. Du å andra sidan kom själv fram till mötesplatsen, så det är där den största skillnaden ligger. Du använde inte hämtnings- eller avlämningstjänsten. Vi tar en liknande rutt på varje tur, så det kan ta några minuter beroende på hastigheten du kör. Vi rekommenderar även att ta en längre resa eftersom det inte gör så stor skillnad i pris. Tack för detta förslag och vi ska försöka få bättre förklaringar angående restiden i framtiden. Detta svar görs med hjälp av google translate.
