The beautiful sites we saw, the thrilling rides on the Black Sand Beach, driving through little streams and into a beautiful valley, along with Anthony’s warm nature, made this a favorite activity on our trip to Iceland.”

4.Reykjavik Peak with Safari Quads ATV

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 335 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $129

Safari Quads takes you from Reykjavík toward Lake Hafravatn and up rocky mountain tracks for wide views of the city.

The ride lasts about an hour; the full outing takes roughly two and a half hours.

“Go Ahead and Book!!!!! Our experience was incredible—10/10! Paula, our tour guide, was amazing. She was so kind, made us feel comfortable, and even took tons of great photos for us. I decided to embrace my “passenger princess” role and rode in the back the whole time (though there were plenty of chances to switch drivers if you wanted!). It was such a fun ride following Paula and another pair of riders through all kinds of terrain—uphill, downhill, bumpy trails, and even roundabouts. The heated handlebars for the driver were a great touch, but as a passenger, I got a little cold toward the end. I’d recommend bringing hand warmers…”
