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.

  1. 1ATV Reykjavik VIKING RIDERS 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

    This tour was fantastic. I went with my 3 friends (all of us around 20 years old) on our last day in Iceland as we wanted to do something fun near the Reykjavik. To save some money we shared ATVs and switched turns driving which worked out great. We stopped I think 3 times or so during the ride and the views were great. It was so much fun riding the ATVs and our tour guide was great. He was fun and gave us some info about the places we stopped at. The other group didn’t show, so it was just my friends and I. I would totally recommend.

    Absolutely unbelievable experience. Picked up from hotel, taken 15 min out to the base. Got kitted up with everything we needed, hand warmers, gloves, snoods. The guide is so friendly, with a great sense of humour, and very informative too about the local area. Would definitely recommend.

    Such a great experience. Our ride was fabulous, our guide was friendly, safe and very knowledgeable. There was just our guide and my family of 4 on 2 ATV’s. We went off the beaten track and had plenty of stops to take decent photos. We would all highly recommend!

    Very enjoyable ride into the hills from the base location. Had all weather conditions in the 2 hours so really glad to have the warm overalls and gloves. Tremendous scenery with very informative detail from guide. I was lucky to be 1 on 1 so was spoilt with attention and iceland local knowledge. Picked up from downtown bus stop. Absolutely recommended.

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.
