What To Expect

Begin with pickup from your centrally located hotel in Reykjavik.

Journey to Raufarholshellir lava cave and get suited up for an unforgettable caving excursion. Equipped with a head-torch, follow your guide into the darkness and explore the tunnel—carved into the earth by an ancient lava river. Scramble and crawl through the caves and see the otherworldly rock formations that lie beneath the surface.

After a short stop for lunch (own expense), head to base camp for your ATV adventure. Learn how to drive your all-terrain vehicle, fasten your helmet, and hop aboard for an exhilarating and fast-paced adventure.

Follow your guide on a roughly 1-hour circuit and tackle challenging terrain, zoom along dirt trails, and splash across rocky river crossings. Climb to the summit of Hafrafell mountain and pause to take in spectacular views across the Reykjanes peninsula, Reykjavik, and Hafravatn Lake.

Your tour ends with a return transfer to Reykjavik and drop-off at your hotel.

This was the highlight of my trip to Iceland, despite the bad weather. Turns out, I was the only one booked for my time slot, so it ended up being a private tour! Alessandro was an awesome guide, and hopefully he appreciated that I had driven quads before, haha! Highly recommended!

Fun on an ATV!

Susan_N, Aug 2024

So fun. Saw views you don’t get from typical outings…ATVs are fun and the differing terrain made it even better.

Fun time on an ATV

Nicole_B, Nov 2023

We accidentally booked the same ATV tour twice, but the organizer contacted us and coordinated a two hour tour once instead of two of the same one-hour tours. We went up two mountains on the ATVs on the tour - a great experience. The ATVs were easy to handle and not overly intimidating (as someone having never driven one before). The guides were helpful in making sure we felt confident in what we were doing and gave a lot of information about location/landmarks during the stops. Can't wait to do it again when it's warmer.

Awesome Experience!!

Excellent! Guides were the greatest! We had a blast. Well worth it! If you're looking for a fun adventure, this is it. No experience needed.

Alessandro rocks!

It was a tight fit for 2 people in their late 50's but it was worth it

Michael H, Dec 2016

This was a great day in Iceland. We were picked up from our hotel as promised and taken the the ATV HQ where we were fitted with snow suits, gloves and helmets. Then Indi and Alex showed us how to operate the ATVs. They made sure we were completely confident and comfortable with the machines. The ATVs were clean, newer and well-maintained. We rode off in convoy across fields, back roads and trails and eventually ended up on top of a mountain for photos, a brief stretch and a snowball fight. On the way back we splashed through mud puddles and forded a small river. It was a great first experience on an ATV. Thanks, guys! Then they drove us back in to downtown Reykjavik where we had an hour to get something to eat. Around the appointed time, we were picked up by another van for the lava caving portion of the tour. Our driver/guide sorry, but we forgot his name, but he was from Greece drove us to the lava fields and once parked, he issued helmets and lights. After a short briefing and safety check, we headed for the lava tubes. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable and one of the best parts of the tour was sitting deep inside the cave and turning off the lights to experience total darkness. We also took a few minutes to just sit and listen to the cave. We didn't descend very far - it was more of a level walk, but we did go fairly deep into the cave. There were a couple of tight squeezes, but they opened up into bigger areas quite quickly. It was terrific! I am 6'2 tall and slightly claustrophobic, but I never felt confined or restricted. After the tour, we were driven back to our hotel. Rain or shine, take this tour.

Great tour! Informative tour guide...

Great tour! Informative tour guide. The caves are amazing to explore. Highly recommended. Word of caution - there are some tight spaces you have to crawl through, not for the claustrophobic. They also offer pickup and drop off from your Reykjavik location which is great.
