I’ve seen ATV’s driving on a beach, isn’t off-road driving illegal in Iceland?

Yes, off-road driving is illegal. When on a tour, you will only be driving where the tour operator is permitted to drive, which could be on a beach or on private land where the land owner has granted permission.

Will the tour get cancelled if it rains?

No, Iceland’s weather is constantly changing, and the tour is only cancelled if there is a severe storm or dangerous weather conditions. If it gets cancelled, you will be notified by the operator.

What equipment is provided? What do I need to bring?

You will receive warm overalls, a balaclava, a helmet and gloves. Please bring warm clothes and good shoes.

What's better, an ATV or a Buggy?

It depends on what you're looking for. For example, an ATV requires the rider to lean in against the handlebars, while a buggy allows the driver to ride from a sitting position.

Review of Excellent 2 Hour ATV Tour in the Mountains with Transfer from Reykjavik

I wne on this tour yesterday and it was so amazing! Me and my friend shared a bike which was a good thing because some of the time I was driving end enjoying the excitement and at other times I could relax and enjoy the awesome view. The guide Kristján was really friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the two mountains we drove up to. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who likes some excitement as well as wonderful nature close to Reykjavík .

Review of Thrilling 2 Hour Buggy Tour in the Icelandic Mountains with Transfer from Reykjavik

I did this one with my 7 year old son. We both had a blast. Buggies are a safe and good family option. I would do it alone or with pals, I would opt for the quads. This operator is good, they are experienced, the vehicles are in good condition and the guides did their part to perfection. Besides the ride itself the tour offers a great view over Reykjavík.
