“My friend and I had the best time ever with Safari Quads ATV! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The tour guides were incredible—super friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You could tell they love sharing this adventure with others, and that energy made the entire tour even more enjoyable. Before we set off, they took the time to make sure everyone felt safe and confident, giving a thorough but easy-to-understand briefing. It didn’t matter if you were a beginner or had previous experience—the guides made sure everyone felt comfortable. The ride itself was an absolute thrill! We got to explore some of the most…”

Ride ATVs from Reykjavik to Lake Hafravatn and mountain trails, with city views, warm gear, transfers, and a beginner-friendly guide.
“Transfer were easy, collected from outside our hotel and only a 15minute drive out of Reykjavík. Our driver/instructor was very informative and friendly. The experience itself is amazing. After a quick tutorial on how to ride the ATV’s we were off. We had to drive on public roads before going off road, and were treated to a variety of different types of terrains. The instructor stopped quite a few times to check we were all ok and then we stopped for a break, a few photos and then the journey back to base. Would definitely do again!! Thank you guys 🥶”
