Description

This Reykjavík lava field buggy tour takes you deeper into the landscape than a short city-area ride. Drive across rugged trails, lava fields and open terrain with views toward Hengill and the geothermal countryside around the capital.

The buggy gives the route a fun, powerful feel while the scenery keeps it distinctly Icelandic. It is a great choice if you want an active tour close to Reykjavík but with more variety than a simple viewpoint stop.

Your guide leads the route and provides the safety briefing, making the tour accessible for first-time buggy drivers.
