Description
Experience the beauty of Icelandic nature in a thrilling way by joining this exhilarating ATV buggy adventure. This hour-long tour takes travelers to South Iceland's countryside while riding a powerful ATV to see waterfalls and awe-inspiring landscapes.
The action begins at the ATV base at Bru, located by Road 249 in South Iceland. A friendly guide will meet with you and give a brief background about the tour. They will also discuss some important reminders to help ensure your safety during the ride. Moreover, they will provide a helmet and a snow all-in-one suit for added protection while operating the ATV buggy.
The 4x4 buggies are designed to handle the country's rough and varied terrain, allowing you to explore areas inaccessible to regular vehicles. These two-seater vehicles feature automatic transmission complete with safety features. These include safety belts, a roll cage, and double A-arm front suspension for added comfort.
Whether racing across volcanic black sand beaches, climbing rocky mountain trails, or cruising through valleys, the buggy will take you closer to Iceland's nature. As you head to the countryside, you'll drive through gravel roads that add thrill to the ride.
You'll head to the area of Eyjafjallajokull, a glacier volcano known for causing air travel chaos in 2010. Standing at about 5,417 feet (1,651 meters), the Eyjafjallajokull volcano offers breathtaking views of its glacier-covered summit and the surrounding landscapes.
The area around the volcano is marked by lush valleys, dramatic cliffs, and cascading waterfalls. You'll also drive along a black sand beach and the tundra field sands surrounding Dimon mountain.
With the toughness of your ATV buggy, you'll cross over small streams until you reach the spot where you can marvel over Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland's most iconic and picturesque waterfalls. Dropping 197 feet (60 meters) from ancient sea cliffs, Seljalandsfoss waterfall is unique for the path that allows visitors to walk behind the cascading water.
Your ATV adventure in South Iceland wouldn't be complete without riding toward the Westman Islands. Comprising 15 islands and numerous smaller islets, the Westman Islands are known for their stunning landscapes, rich wildlife, and fascinating history.
At the end of the tour, you'll head back to the ATV base at Bru. As you drive back to the starting point, you'll pass through the gravel sand and see the rugged landscape of South Iceland, carrying with you the unforgettable memories of your short but fulfilling countryside adventure.
