Safe, Bumpy & Fast - Safe, bumpy & fast
This was by far one of our favorite parts during our time here at Iceland.
Lisa, our tour guide was a down to earth exciting person to have guided us in this buggy experience. I was terrified but she definitely assured any worries I had. I will preface with this, if you listen to the rules and listen to the guide the better the experience you will have and the faster the speeds you may go. We had some unfortunate poor souls who did not listen which affected our experience but Lisa did end up making it even more wonderful towards the end.
You may think you are going too fast but you do need to just understand that these are made for off road so do not be afraid to let the vehicle do what it’s suppose to do.
Overall this was amazing and we got to see the geothermal pipes and the lava field which hearing the history behind was also quite interesting. Especially since the guides see environmental differences almost on a daily basis. Would def do this again.

Off road Iceland adventure - Our two hour buggy tour through the lava fields was spectacular! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Lisa, was friendly and knowledgeable. She understood we were experienced drivers and allowed us to use our off road driving skills. This tour would be easily adaptable for all skill levels. My teens, husband, and myself all loved it! Highly recommend!

Fully immersed in the Icelandic landscape - Definitely worth it! They didn’t skimp on experience points. Gnarly and majestic terrain with a bonus stop at some hot springs. Guillermo was a great and safe guide.

Great way to experience lava fields! - Very fun experience, just enough thrill without feeling like it was unsafe. Guillermo our guide was very cognizant of making sure all our safety measures were implemented and showed us how to really have a good time in the buggies.
