About this experience
We ride through the Reykjanes peninsula where we see the Reykjanes tip, the Reykjanes lighthouse and parts of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that lies between the continents of North America and Europe. We then drive along a black sandy beach where Clint Eastwood shot his film Flags of Our Fathers. We will stop at the old lighthouse. There is no age limit for passengers, but a driver’s license is required for the Buggy driver.

Cancellation for this tour
Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
If the weather cancels this tour
Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is storm-force wind — rain and mud do not cancel it. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 14x4 Adventures Iceland / Fjórhjólaævintýri decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
- 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
- 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.
What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?
The nearest cheaper Volcano ATV Tour from Volcano ATV is €107 — €394 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.
| 4x4 Adventures Iceland / Fjórhjólaævintýri · €501 | Volcano ATV · €107 | |
|---|---|---|
| How long it runs | 3 hours | 1 hour |
| Changing your mind | Free until 24 h before | Not stated |
The €394 buys you 2 more hours out and free cancellation up to 24 h before. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.
Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for

An absolute must if you’re visiting Iceland. Our tour guide, Oliver. was knowledgeable and made our experience a memorable. The AV was fun to ride and crossed the harshest of terrains. All snow suits, gloves and helmets were provided. Will definitely come back when we revisit Iceland.

4x4 Adventures was an absolute gem of our trip to Iceland. Oliver was an incredible guide. His knowledge of the volcano system and rescue operations related to previous eruptions turned a fun 4x4 tour into an experience. Since Oliver’s tour, we have been inspired to learn more about volcanoes and cheering for Grindavik and its defenses. During our next trip to Iceland we will definitely come back!

We did the 4 hour ATV tour with our guide Ollie. This was so much fun. Ollie was so knowledgeable and I would recommend this tour to everyone.

We had a great trip with Oliver! Learning the history of what happened with the eruptions, getting to see first hand what they caused and seeing how massive it was. Highly recommend this tour!

ATV & buggy — questions people ask
Where can you ride ATVs in Iceland?
In two very different places on this site. Near Reykjavík, the Hafnarfjörður lava fields, twenty minutes from town, host the ATV combos with caving, horses and whale watching (/experience/292/, /experience/1603/). In the Westfjords, Activity Tours runs one-hour and three-hour rides from Drangsnes and Djúpavík on the Strandir coast (/experience/1176229/, /experience/1167831/), with fjord views and almost no other traffic. The Westfjords rides are better; Reykjavík is easier to reach.
Do I need a driving licence to ride an ATV in Iceland?
Yes, a full valid car licence to drive one. Passengers ride behind the driver and do not need a licence, but minimum ages apply for both; check the tour page. Bring the physical licence card. Standard pricing puts two people on one ATV, with a single-rider supplement if you want your own. Buggies (/experience/7689/) are side-by-side and more car-like, if you are unsure about balancing an ATV.
What do I wear for an ATV tour?
Old clothes and closed shoes. The operator gives you a helmet, overalls, gloves and often a balaclava, because Icelandic tracks are mud in summer and slush in winter and you will get sprayed. Wear warm layers underneath; you are sitting still in the wind. Sunglasses or goggles help with grit. Leave anything white at the hotel. A shower afterwards is not optional.
Is ATV riding in Iceland dangerous?
It carries real risk, which is why the licence rules exist. You ride in a line behind a guide at a set pace on marked tracks, so the danger is mostly in overconfidence on loose gravel or steep sections. Follow the guide's speed and keep your feet on the footrests. Travel insurance that covers motorised activities is worth checking before you book; some standard policies exclude ATVs.
