Reykjavik Peak ATV Tour

Ride a 1.5-hour Reykjavik Peak ATV tour with an English-speaking guide for city, lake, and mountain views in one off-road adventure.

Getting started

If you select the optional pickup and return transfer, you are collected from your Reykjavík accommodation about 30 minutes before departure and driven to the basecamp. Self-drive guests instead arrive at the basecamp for the 09:15 or 13:15 meeting time. After check-in, your guide briefs you on the ATVs, then you gear up and get ready to set off.
