Feel free to contact us
Description
Off-road adrenaline near Reykjavík: This buggy safari is pure action, a fast, fun ride through rugged terrain with splashy puddles, gravel tracks, and wide-open Icelandic landscapes just outside the city.
Hafravatn warm-up: Cruise past the beautiful Lake Hafravatn and settle into the rhythm of the buggy before the route turns more wild and playful.
Climb to Reykjavík Peak: The highlight is the climb toward Reykjavík Peak, where the views keep expanding with every switchback and the terrain feels made for buggies.
Panoramic summit views: From the top, take in sweeping scenery across the capital area, including Esja, Faxaflói bay, and the surrounding volcanic landscapes that frame Reykjavík.
Easy to join, hard to forget: With a local guide leading the way and gear included, this is a high-impact adventure that fits perfectly into a Reykjavík day.
