Mega cool (private) buggy tour!
We did 2 tours within 2 weeks because we liked the first one so much. The guides were super friendly and accommodating, and we were warmly welcomed at their base camp.
The tours were varied and very coolly designed. So we stopped every now and then to look at something special in nature and have it explained to us.
The 2nd tour was even a private tour, since the other guests did not show up.
This allowed us and our guide to take a much larger tour than usual, since we were moving along very quickly.
I would recommend it to everyone and would book it again without thinking!

Guaranteed:

✔️ You will get wet
✔️ You will laugh and maybe scream
✔️ You will have fun
This was our last day of our 12 day Iceland adventure. Intentionally didn’t plan any thing for today in case a tour had cancelled due to weather and we needed to rebook, found something on arrival we didn’t know about and wanted to do, etc. None of that came to fruition and was looking for something to fill our last day. Saw this tour online , but almost didn’t book bc it didn’t look all that exciting or much different than other buggy tours we’d done in other countries. For $500/couple we wanted to be wowed and an experience different than we’d had elsewhere. Website under sells the tour and doesn’t have enough photos. We almost missed out. Sooooo glad we decided to go for it
Best landscape we saw on our 12 day trip!
My speed junkie /andrenaline loving husbands favorite thing we did
Bring a change of clothes for afterwards though. You will need them.
They are very near the plane crash site. Park in their lot and walk to the site so you don’t have to pay for pkg to see the plane. 10 min walk. They are also very near the Seljalandalfoss and other you will get wet waterfalls. Combine all these in to 1 day and you have he perfect adventure day!

Beyond beautiful buggy tour
I'm actually not sure I chose the correct tour to review in terms of where we went, but we did a 2.5(++) hour buggy tour that was absolutely incredible. My 20 year old said it was the most fun he's ever had. Neither he nor I had ever driven a buggy so it took a little getting used to and we weren't the fastest buggy drivers, but we got the hang of it and just loved it!! The places we went were beyond amazing...to the foot of a glacier, and then two others with caves and hidden spots I don't when know how to put words to. It was all breathtakingly beautiful. I am so grateful to Frederick, our guide, who was patient and kind and went above and beyond to make it an experience to remember. Highly recommend!!

Great 2.5 hour buggy ride
Great 2.5 hour buggy ride. Lots of driving through water which was a lot of fun. There was too much water to go through one of the rivers so we had to do shortened route but was still great fun. Guide was really good. Highly recommended.
Operator response
Hihi, we are so glad you had fun on our buggy tour, yes, splashing in rivers is a lot of fun
Hope to see you again for more adventure

Had an AMAZING time! Great fun. We booked a private tour (totally totally worth it!!) Our awesome guide Alejandro was fun, knowledgeable, entertaining and made sure we had 5 star wet and wild experience. We really appreciated that despite the rolling rumbling fun Alejandro was true naturalist outdoorsman who respected the beautiful Icelandic landscape. He was super informative about the glacier and forest. He made sure the fun we had was thrilling and not above our off-roading experience. Driving the buggy is NOT like a car or 4x4. Great time!! Would do this again or consider a guided hike with Alejandro!! THANK YOU!!!
