Full description

Enjoy a mountain safari on a quad bike or ATV in the vicinity of Reykjavik. Explore the peaceful scenic outback of the capital city of Iceland just 15 minutes from most hotels in Reykjavik. Mountain Safari is ideal for beginners and for those who want to try something new while enjoying the outdoors. Exploring the back country of Reykjavik has now been made accessible for everyone in a safe and fun way. The bikes are easy to operate and before every tour the guides will give you operational and safety instructions.

Once up there, you will enjoy a breathtaking view over the whole Reykjavík area and the surrounding mountain range. Choose between a morning or afternoon departure depending on your schedule, or combine it with another activity or sightseeing trip. If your days are busy, no problem, just try the evening tour!

Maxim picked us up exactly on time and took us to the base. We were given warm clothes and helmets to wear. He fully explained how to operate the ATV and to stay safe. We had a great time driving, it was challenging but fun and 1 hour was just right! The views were spectacular! Would definitely go again!

Superb excursion. Alexander who was our guide explains the region very well. The road is not long to do the activity. The view is beautiful. If you want extreme sport it is not this outing but for the life and duration of the excursion I give 5 stars without problem.

James was our guide. He was quite personable and very helpful and patient. This was my first time out and it was very easy to learn. The ride was fantastic, fast, bumpy, careful...Whatever you make it. Lasts about an hour. At the top, there were beautiful views, awesome pictures. Will definitely go again!
