We did the 2 hour tour and it was amazing! It was fun riding along the beach, seeing the plane, and going through water crossings. This is a must do, specifically the 2 hour trip!!

Absolute must for anybody visiting Iceland - massively over delivers for the price. We got to see so much and experience ATV driving through various terrains. The two guides were fantastic - very informative, helpful and caring - as well as hilariously funny and they made it an absolutely wonderful experience!
