Following the trail, you will reach Hengill mountain range and Hellisheiðarvirkjun, the power plant for Reykjavik. Your guide will lead you to an area that looks like the moon. The first stop will be at the geothermal area next to the geothermal power plant. The area was a film location for the movie “The secret life of Walter Mitty”.

5.00I took my 17 year old son. Pedro was our guide. We had an absolute blast! 💥 Pedro made sure to check on us periodically to make sure we were comfortable and he also was very knowledgeable about the area when we stopped and got out and walked around. I can not recommend this place enough! So many great memories were made this day that will last a lifetime!💕
Daria the Greatest -- absolutely must do!!

5.00Where do we even begin! Our guide Daria was an absolute legend. Kind, hilarious, a total kick-ass woman who made the whole experience feel like an adventure with a best friend. She had the best energy and kept us laughing the entire time while also keeping us safe and having the time of our lives. The views across the lava fields were jaw-dropping and unlike anything we'd ever seen. We are a family who loves adventure and this topped everything. We genuinely wished we could have stayed out there longer. The second the tour ended we were already talking about coming back and doing it again. If you're visiting Reykjavik, stop what you are doing and book this. You will not regret a single second. Safari Quads and Daria, thank you for one of the greatest experiences of our lives!
ATVs are fun — Safari Quads is great!
