Your excursion starts at Myrdalsjokull Base Camp, where you'll meet your experienced guide and the rest of the guests on the tour. Your guide will give you a thorough safety briefing and teach you how to control the buggy.
Your buggy is an all-terrain vehicle, similar to a dune buggy. It has large tires and is specially designed to navigate through Iceland's diverse terrain. This buggy tour will take you where conventional vehicles can't reach.
Your guide will also give you all the protective gear you'll need for the ride, including a helmet, overalls, and a balaclava. You should wear warm, waterproof clothing and bring gloves to keep your hands warm.
You'll take a five-minute test drive around Myrdalsjokull Base Camp to ensure you're comfortable driving and familiarize yourself with the buggy. Then, it's time to set off on an unforgettable adventure.
The buggies have enough space for two people, so you'll ride alongside someone and can take turns driving. Anyone driving the vehicle needs a valid driving license. Children aged eight and above can ride as passengers.
You'll drive over the Myrdalsjokull glacier's rugged terrain, going up steep hills and navigating sharp twists and turns. Your guide will tell you more about the incredible landscapes along the way, and you'll have some time to take photos, so don't forget to bring your camera.
The Myrdalsjokull glacier is one of Iceland's most impressive glaciers. Covering an area of about 373 square miles (roughly 600 square kilometers), it conceals the infamous Katla volcano. In places, the ice thickness reaches up to 2,300 feet (about 700 meters).
The glacier is home to dramatic ice formations, deep crevasses, and glacial outlets. The ice river also plays a significant role in shaping Iceland's landscapes, feeding numerous rivers and creating striking ice caves like those in the nearby region of Vatnajokull National Park.
A tour highlight will be driving up to the glacier's edge if weather conditions are good and it's safe. Here, you'll appreciate the beautiful contrast between the ice and the dark volcanic sands of the desert below.
