This was an incredible tour! I was a little nervous about driving an ATV at first, but Julia was a great guide who explained everything and made occasional stops to be sure everyone was doing well. She was very encouraging and I am so glad that I did this tour. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and it is a wonderful experience. I definitely recommend this tour.
This was a highlight of our trip. The equipment seemed very well maintained and the protective wear was clean and was great at keeping us comfortable in the weather. We took several stops to allow for pictures and the staff was very informative and KIND! Totally worth the drive from the city! Do it! Then go into the small town and get the fish and chips.
The operator was very communicative. The equipment was top of the line. The guide was able to cater the tour to my expertise level. I was lucky to be the only one on the tour. Most places would have canceled. The guide was informative with local stories. It was great fun and I would not go to Iceland without doing this tour. One of the highlights of my trip.
Our ATV tour was excellent. Equipment was good and well-maintained, and our guide Julia was great: very friendly and helpful, good safety briefing. We were lucky to have a tour with just our family of four plus guide as it is off season. After a short stretch on the main road, most of the tour was on the gravel mountain track and because there was too much snow to go very high on the mountain we also went along a coastal track to the lighthouse. Total time on the ATVs was 2 hours, the driving was great fun, the scenic stops were just right. Overall, highly recommend this experience.
Had an incredible time, just our family group so even more fun! Our guide Julia was wonderful and was very knowledgeable, would recommend to anyone looking for a fun day out and wanting adventure.
