“Honestly the highlight of my trip! The guide was absolutely incredible and really made the effort with us. We went to the airplane crash site and black sand beach and it was amazing. He had a lot of knowledge and took lots of photos for us. The tour was just myself and my partner and it was actually really nice just being us! The route we took seemed to be more on the challenging side but it was amazing! Moments where I felt slightly nervous the guide was there to help. Highly recommend!”

“Bjorgvin was a great guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and efficient. We caught all sorts of weather which is just one of the fun parts of being in Iceland. The gear and the ATVs held up and the ride, the views and the experience are well worth it: sun, rain or snow! A great way to see another part of the country and talk to someone — Bjorgvin — who is very knowledgeable and proud of his tour and for good reason. Would not hesitate to do again, and again!”
Review of Reykjavik’s Midnight Sun ATV Adventure, with mountain views, rough trails, gear, pickup details, price, and booking advice.
“A once in a lifetime exhilarating experience! If you come to Iceland and have the time, do it! The weather didn't cooperate as planned (it was drizzling & cloudy), but we got to ride for (over 20) miles on backroads/trails (and sometimes public roads to get us there). We had some amazing views overlooking the valleys of the area outside of Reykjavik. To know that we were out until almost midnight and being able to see the sights was amazing. Weronika, a sweet young lady from Poland, who has a passion for motorcross biking, was our wonderful guide for the evening (tour operator - please recognize her accordingly). She was…”

“Our family of 4 had THE BEST TIME during our black beach ATV guided tour. Our guide, I believe was named Tim (tall man who plays basketball :), was SO KNOWLEDGABLE, patient, professional, & safety conscious! Our 2 kids laughed the entire time! We didn’t feel rushed or like we bothered the guide at all. He stopped several times to show us wildlife on the beach & to explain geological features. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND using this service & requesting TALL BASKETBALL PLAYER TIM as your guide!”

Review of Reykjavik’s Volcanic Springs ATV adventure, with lava fields, Hengill Mountain, geothermal views, gear, costs, pickup, and practical tips.
“My husband and I ended up with this being a private tour as no one else reserved the same spot. My husband used to race ATV's, but this was only my second time actually driving one. The guide was very good about checking up on us me throughout the tour to make sure I was doing okay and kept the pace probably pretty slow for me. We had a great time. We also got a couple of stops along the way to check out the scenery and some nice views, as well as have a break from throttle-thumb.”
Pick a glacier, a harbour or a hot spring.
