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'.

5.00The ATV tour was great! There are two writers per ATV unless you have an odd number party and then one person gets to ride by themselves. We stopped three times for breaks and for information sessions and to change drivers if you wanted to. The guides were very knowledgeable.
This tour took us more...

5.00This tour took us more places than the black sands. Paul was our guide who showed us diverse terrain including the glacial outflow plains, the airplane crash, cliffs, fields, and streams. The guides tailor the experience to those who can drive faster and also for the inexperienced rider who wants to go slower. All gear and machines were clean and in excellent condition. Would recommend!!!
Unforgettable experience
