Epic! You must do this - I can’t say enough how amazing this experience was. We have traveled to Iceland twice and done many things, and this was my favorite activity! Our guide, Gonzalo was incredible and made this adventure special. Do not skip this! If you can, ask for Gonzalo.

When they say 2 hours, they mean 2 hours on the bike - Such a fun tour and a very different et way to see the countryside around Reykjavik. When the tour says 2 hours, it means 2 hours out on the bike, gearing up and safety lessons are outside this time which was an unexpected bonus. The guide was friendly and helpful and they keep the group together without rushing anyone. Most of the tour was off road which i loved. 10/10 would do again if I ever go back to Iceland.

Loved the Buggy Ride! - This adventure in the buggy took us to places that we would normally not be able to see. We got beautiful pictures and had a blast doing it! Our guide Marianna was also fabulous. She was kind, fun, a great leader and navigator and taught us a lot about Iceland.

Fun and education all in one - We had so much fun on the backroad of the lava fields. The quick stop at the natural thermal field shows the temps from the volcanic heat. Drive pass the hydro plants you see how powerful the heat from the volcanos are. Fun afternoon. Guide was awesome.
