Full description

The adventure starts with a short safety briefing on how to operate the ATVs. When everyone is ready, it's take-off time, when you'll head for the majestic black sand plains of Sólheimasandur. Cross this desert-like landscape and stop by the famous DC3 plane that crashed on the sands in 1973.

The guide will lead the group further over the sands to the spectacular coastline to witness views of the surrounding area. From the beach, see Dyrhólaey peninsula, the southernmost tip of Iceland. Looking inland, you can see the marvelous Mýrdalsjökull glacier in the distance.

Heading back over the sands and following the Jökulsá river, your adventure will conclude as you cross a river to enter a stunning mountain valley.

OMG, CRAZY is the word I would use to describe our experience. Make sure you take their wool gloves and wear them UNDER your own heavy mittens or gloves. The helmet, balaclava, and overalls will keep you warm. SO MUCH FUN! We had a massive rainstorm in the morning, so most of the rivers were impassable. That being said, our guide took us to the beach, down the road, and we still got to see the plane wreck. In November, 2023, the winds were so strong on the beach, we could jump forward and still be blown backwards. We had so much fun just leaning as far as we could into the wind without falling over. Driving on the beach is smooth, and then there’s paths that are so rough, but just stunningly beautiful. Like being on another planet. Highly recommend!

I don’t typically write reviews but they really went above and beyond for us when an issue arose. I don’t want to say too much as I don’t want their generosity to be exploited, but an absolute 10/10 for service and looking out for their guests. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone had a great time on the ATV tour. Coming from east coast US it felt like being on the moon. Very surreal experience and would highly recommend. Definitely a trip highlight.

The ATV tour was so much fun. We signed up for the 1-hour express tour and switched to the 2- hour one and was so glad we did. The Guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. We saw beautiful scenery. Lots of time for pictures. A perfect 2 hours. Well worth the time and money. Highly recommend.
