Description
Grab the wheel of an off-road buggy and drive scenic gravel tracks just outside Reykjavik on this guided buggy adventure, with optional pickup from the city. This buggy tour near Reykjavik suits couples, friends, and families who want a fun, hands-on way to see Icelandic nature without a long drive from town.
The 2.5-hour tour is Buggy Iceland's most popular ride, and it is rated easy, so no off-road experience is needed. You can share a buggy with two to four people or book a single ride and drive on your own, with a local guide leading the way.
Your day starts at Lambhagavegur 13, on the eastern edge of Reykjavik, where you meet your guide. If you would rather not drive there yourself, you can add pickup from your hotel in downtown Reykjavik when you book. Departures leave at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and you should arrive 30 minutes early to get ready.
Tours run all year, and each season changes the ride. In summer, long days light up green slopes and open views, while in winter the tracks may be covered in snow and the landscape turns white.
At the base, you receive an insulated overall, a helmet, and a buggy balaclava to keep you warm and protected from wind and dust. Your guide then gives a short safety briefing and shows you how to handle the buggy before you head out.
From the base, you follow your guide out of the city and onto scenic gravel tracks. The buggies are built for rough ground, so you feel every bump and turn as you drive over loose gravel, small hills, and uneven trails.
As you leave the city behind, the views open up over the Icelandic landscape just beyond the capital. Your guide stops at scenic points along the way, so you can catch your breath and take photos.
The pace suits the group, so first-timers can settle in while more confident drivers enjoy the open stretches. Riding as a passenger is also an option for anyone who would rather sit back and take in the scenery.
Since the base is close to the city, the tour fits easily into half a day and leaves time for other plans. After about 2.5 hours, you return to the base at Lambhagavegur 13 and hand back your gear, and if you booked pickup, you are driven back to your hotel in Reykjavik.
