Tracie H, Jun 2017
Our guide for the quads, James was very friendly and gave us an awesome tour I wish we could have booked a longer time with him an hour wasn't enough. The whale watching tour was equally good we saw several whales and dolphins/ porpoise as well as many birds including Puffins, we also got engaged on the boat.

What a fun day! 4-wheeling outside...

Kristin G, Sep 2015
What a fun day! 4-wheeling outside, taking in all the views and seeing Reykjavik from the top of a mountain nearby! Our guide, Hinrik, was fun, funny and full of adventure. And the combination of this trip with the whale watching cruise - great day! Hint: the seas are choppy, just take the sea tablet that is offered or your whole trip will be ruined!

Hump back and minkey whales, plus...

Hump back and minkey whales, plus dolphins. Just fantastic!! Quad bikes good but a little well controlled. ie. no opportunity to really let rip!! Still, overall, very, very happy..
