Description

The ATV Quad Express on Sólheimasandur is built for travellers who want the famous plane wreck experience with more excitement than the long walk across the sand. Ride an ATV over the black desert landscape to the DC-3 wreck with your guide leading the way.

The scenery is stark and unforgettable: dark volcanic sand, open sky, ocean air and mountains in the distance. It is a fun way to break up a South Coast day with a real adventure stop.

This tour is beginner-friendly, with safety equipment and instructions provided before you ride.
