Great adventure!

5.00We had a fantastic time with Skaftafell Adventures on our ATV tour! They had everything to keep us warm and safe and we were so glad we chose the two hour tour because we definitely would have wanted to keep going after one. An unexpected bonus was that the husband and wife team have deep roots in the area and shared a lot with us about their family history and the land we were riding on.
Fun and informative unique experience

5.00Siggy and Erin led a wonderful tour for our family of 5. The equipment was in great condition and made us all feel comfortable and warm no matter what we arrived wearing. They took us on a ride for 2 full hours- stopping at times to explain the history and geology of the region as only locals can. It was so interesting- even our boys were talking about their stories for days after we left. I wasn’t sure what to expect but this ended up being one of the top experiences of our trip. I’m so glad we did it!

4.00Nice young couple who just launched this new quad business. We took the 2 hours package. It was fun with a lot of small rivers crossing. Be prepared to get a little wet. Wear waterproof boots.
Thank you Eyrún & Siggi ♡
