I had initial reservations about this tour due to a high cost, but having now done it, I needn’t have worried! You get a full 2 hours on the quads and see some great sights along the way. The guide was absolutely fantastic, really chatty and helpful with knowledge especially about the crashed plane that you visit as part of the tour. The guide caters the tour to the abilities of the group. If you can keep up they will go all flat out. If you’re thinking about booking this activity my advice is book it before it sells out. Thanks to G from ICELANDIA for a great tour. We will be back!

Cannot describe how good this was! It’s up there with one of the best experiences of our lives and had the best time doing it in the snow. Anthony was an amazing guide, really good fun and knowledgeable - can’t recommend him enough. We drove from Rekjavik which took 2 and a half hours but it was soo worth it and lots of other things to do around the area.

Beyond expectations. The sun was out and our tour guide was amazing taking us along the band sand beach to places we would never have experienced otherwise.

It was awesome, great value for money. Driving on the beach was cool as well as across the rocky lands.
