Description

Experience the thrilling adventure of an ATV ride through Southwest Iceland’s incredible landscapes in the most beautiful way possible, beneath the midnight sun in the summer. This tour is the perfect adventure to book for those who have come to this country to seek out unique and adrenaline-pumping experiences. 

For your convenience, this ATV adventure in Iceland begins with a pick-up in Reykjavik, the capital city. Depending on your location, you will be picked up in the evening straight from your accommodation or at a nearby tour bus stop in the city center.

From Reykjavik, the journey takes you on a 20-minute ride to a base camp in Southwest Iceland’s Mount Hafrafell. Here, you’ll meet your friendly guide, who will keep you safe and entertained for the next hour.

Before hopping on the ATV, the guide will help you gear up with the safety equipment, including an overall, a helmet, and gloves. They will also provide a safety briefing and a quick demonstration of riding the ATV.

You will slowly ascend the beautiful peak of Hafrafell, looking out as the landscapes unfold around you. Mount Hafrafell is a beautiful mountain beside the town of Mosfellsbaer. It is a popular destination for hiking and quad-biking because of the diverse terrain.

As you zoom across the mountain’s slope, you can expect to see stunning landscapes and views up close. In particular, you’ll witness a beautiful lake, a millennium-old lava field, wildflowers, trees over rolling hills, volcanoes, and the surrounding mountains in Southwest Iceland.

The sun, as it lowers in the sky, will dye the horizon with beautiful hues of red, orange, and pink. This midnight sun phenomenon, where the sun doesn’t completely set, allows adventurers like you to explore Iceland even in the evening hours.

In addition, you are unlikely to see another soul throughout the adventure, which is part of the beauty of Iceland under the midnight sun.

At Hafrafell’s summit, you will stop to admire the spectacular views, take some photos, and enjoy the birdsongs without the sound of the engine. If the weather is fine, you can also expect to see panoramic views of Reykjavik, the Reykjanes Peninsula, and Mount Esjan from this viewpoint.

If you are sharing your ATV with another driver, when it is time for your descent, you can swap seats here to enjoy the ride both as a passenger and behind the wheel. However, please note that a valid driver’s license is required if you plan on driving the vehicle.

After a thrilling adventure, you’ll return the ATV to the base camp around midnight. Following that, your guide will take you back to your Reykjavik accommodation.

Don’t miss this adrenaline-pumping opportunity to enjoy the midnight sun of Iceland while riding an ATV. Check availability now by choosing a date.
