A 1-hour 4WD buggy ride from Reykjavik, with full safety gear, lava, mud, snow, and a scenic lake stop.
“The buggy ride was exhilarating, great fun! Two in our group got stuck so we waited for them to get dug out of the snow. The weather was snowy, with wind blowing so our hands and face were quite cold. But the polar suits provided kept us cozy enough to enjoy the trip. Thomas is a fun and energetic guide!”
Reykjavik lava buggy adventure with pickup, safety gear, and a fast 4x4 ride over lava fields to a summit and Hafravatn Lake views.

Ride a Polaris 1000 buggy along Iceland’s black sand near Vik from Hella, with safety gear, photo stops, and small-group fun.
“Booked this experience after reading the reviews, as my son is a petrol head and loves any driving experiences. Did not disappoint!! Was great fun and really interesting. Had the black sand beach to ourselves. Beautiful low sun on a perfect late May evening. Loads of birds and seals. Expensive, but would highly recommend. Be aware you don't get a buggy each though (2 seater or 4 seater buggies).”

A 1-hour off-road buggy ride from Brú Base Camp in Iceland, with safety briefing, full gear, and waterfall stops near Vik.

“The buggy’s were fantastic. Our guide was lovely and polite. Wish we got more than one photo stop for the drivers to enjoy the views though. There was no communication with being dropped off at the BSI terminal after the buggy activity, luckily the guide was more than happy to drop us off after we requested, however had she not, we would have missed the golden circle tour. 4.5 stars for this part of the experience. The drop in stars was the golden circle tour. The guide on the bus came across rude, unfriendly and unapproachable. She made the experience less enjoyable when you are sitting on a bus for…”
