What To Expect
The tour begins base nearby the Mýrdalsjökull glacier in South Iceland. We start by going over the tour plan and safety instructions. From the base we cross some small rivers and head down to the black lava sands fields which derives from the dormant volcano Katla. Down by the black beach we stop and enjoy the amazing view up to the Mýrdalsjökull glacier and along the coast to the southernmost part of Iceland, the small peninsula Dyrhólaey. We then head along the coast to the famous aircraft wreck, from there we continue to the river Jökulsá and up to the foot of the mountain. Upon our return we follow the mountain back to the base. The ATV experience itself lasts approximately 2 hours. You will ride 2 people per ATV, with one driving and one as a passenger. If you are traveling alone, or in an odd-numbered group (3, 5, 7 etc.) there is an additional charge payable locally for single riders. The adventure will provide stunning photo opportunities in good weather, so don't forget to bring your camera! You will be provided with everything you need for a safe and comfortable ride. No ATV experience is required to take part and the skill level for this activity is deemed as 'easy'.

5.00Had an amazing experience with Icelandic Mountain Guides! Our guide, Hinrik, made the whole adventure unforgettable. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the area, but also brought a great sense of fun and energy to the trip. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it made all the difference. Highly recommend this company—especially if you get Hinrik as your guide!
Icelandic 2 door 4 wheel buggy well worth it

5.00We took the 2 door 4 wheel buggy across the lava sands, beach, stopped at the plane wreck, a beautiful ravine, and up a steep incline to see the views from up top. Our guide Hinrik was friendly, knowledgeable, cautiously adventurous, and an all around great time was had by all, even my 83 year old mother had a blast - she was holding on for dear life but that was due to my newby driving ability. I never once felt unsafe or in jeopardy. I would book this tour again in a heart beat.
