An amazing experience riding on the black sand beach next to the crashing waves. Yonas was a great guide, shared lots of knowledge of Iceland. We saw a whale bone, a shipwrecked cargo ship, beautiful views and a surprise waterfall. Highly recommend! So much fun on the sand

We had a great time on our buggy tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the history of the area. He didn't rush us, and even treated us to some hot chocolate and cookies. I would highly recommend this tour!

Booked this experience after reading the reviews, as my son is a petrol head and loves any driving experiences. Did not disappoint!! Was great fun and really interesting. Had the black sand beach to ourselves. Beautiful low sun on a perfect late May evening. Loads of birds and seals. Expensive, but would highly recommend. Be aware you don't get a buggy each though (2 seater or 4 seater buggies).

Wow what a great excursion! Started off with a warm welcome, then got set up with all the essential gear and explanation on how the buggy operates. The thrill of driving through town and then the trails in an open air buggy was so much fun in March weather. But then we finally reached the black sand beaches and what a sight! Heavy waves crashing in the distance along with black sand as far as the eye could see. We were the only ones on the beach that day and we drove for almost an hour before our guide stopped for photos and shared Icelandic treats and hot chocolate / coffee with us. Very accommodating guide and friendly demeanor throughout made it comfortable and memorable.

Buggies were top of the line. Owner was waiting and ready to go when we arrive. He had all of the necessary equipment to keep us protected and warm as it was raining and windy. It was a beautiful ride and gave us another perspective of the incredible landscape of Iceland that we could have not seen otherwise. We made several stops along the way to learn more about the area and the history. We also had hot chocolate and a delicious Icelandic treat along the shore. We highly recommend you add this experience to your Iceland itinerary--you won't be disappointed.

Amazing time! If you're on the fence, do it. You won't regret it - trust me. Our tour guide was great and so patient and thoughtful. The views were unmatched.

Awesome tour with a beautiful drive to the secluded beach alongside the river. Views of the volcano were amazing and the knowledge and history parts were very cool. The beach is so remote there is no one else there. I would highly recommend.

This excursion was absolutely phenomenal. The ride to and from the beach along the river was so pretty and the beach itself was indescribable. The tour guide let us have fun and was also very knowledgeable about the area and what we saw. There was a couple of extra stops along the trip that was also just so fun. I still can't believer that we were the only ones on the beach. It was fantastic.
