1hr ATV Reykjavik Peak Adventure

Highlights

Stop for panoramic photos at the top of Reykjavik Peak
Enjoy hassle-free hotel pickup and drop-off
An instructor and all the necessary equipment makes the trip accessible to first-timers

Summary

After morning pickup at your Reykjavik hotel, watch signs of civilization recede into the lunar-like landscape on the short drive to base camp. Meet your experienced guide and prepare for the adventure with a protective helmet, gloves, and warm overalls. If you opted for a 2-seater quad bike, decide who takes the wheel. No experience is necessary, as all drivers get an orientation to the bike’s controls and take a practice spin around a safe area to get comfortable. Once ready, set off with your guide in a convoy, first along paved roads that wind through the open grasslands surrounding the city outskirts. Turn off onto gravel tracks and make your way to the shores of Lake Hafravatn lake, where you can admire the glassy surface framed by snow-capped peaks in the distance. Feel the true power of your bike’s off-road capabilities as you climb the rocky slopes of Reykjavik Peak. From the summit, enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the capital below, surrounded by sweeping stretches of grassland and icy ranges. Get an adrenaline rush as you cruise down the mountain tracks and back to base camp. Relax in the transfer vehicle on the drive back to your Reykjavik hotel, where your tour concludes.

About operator:

Safari Quads is an ATV & Buggy tour operator located in Reykjavik, Iceland. Our company was established in 2003 making us the oldest ATV Quad tour company in Iceland! Our operation had quite a humble beginning; we set our first roots on a farm in the countryside of West Iceland. Our tours were rugged back then – we like to think of them as ‘vintage’, but this was the birthplace of our passion and that is one thing that has not changed. We aim to provide our guests with an authentic experience with intimate exposure to the fascinating spectacle that is Iceland´s natural landscape. We left the farmland behind in 2008 and returned to civilization in Reykjavik to set up our latest and greatest basecamp. We are now located under 15 minutes away from the heart of the city making our tours easily accessible to adventurous travellers. Reykjavik´s backyard has proven to be an alluring natural playground for our ATVs and buggies with pristine mountains and stunning lakes.
