WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Kelsey M

This was by far one of our favorite parts during our time here at Iceland.

Lisa, our tour guide was a down to earth exciting person to have guided us in this buggy experience. I was terrified but she definitely assured any worries I had. I will preface with this, if you listen to the rules and listen to the guide the better the experience you will have and the faster the speeds you may go. We had some unfortunate poor souls who did not listen which affected our experience but Lisa did end up making it even more wonderful towards the end.

You may think you are going too fast but you do need to just understand that these are made for off road so do not be afraid to let the vehicle do what it’s suppose to do.

Overall this was amazing and we got to see the geothermal pipes and the lava field which hearing the history behind was also quite interesting. Especially since the guides see environmental differences almost on a daily basis. Would def do this again.

What a great and adventure filled family experience! Everything was very well done from the start. Safari Quads figured out a way to accommodate our family of 5 with only a few days notice. They also called to confirm and made sure we knew where to meet the group a day before.

Once we arrived everyone helped us with our safety and warm weather, rain gear. Thank goodness for all this gear because it rained most of our trip, but we stayed dry.

Sir Kaktuz was a fun and engaging guide. We traveled up and down mountains, through water, and over moon like rocks.

We felt safe and very prepared to go on the ATV by the excellent guide, Sircactus and the team at Safari. The tour itself was amazing and very conveniently located to the facility we left from. It was incredible to see breathtaking views minutes away from the facility. We felt safe and also like we were having an incredible and unique adventure. These photos will be a treasure for a lifetime. Thank you so much to our amazing guide!!

This was absolutely the highlight of our trip, and I wish it was our first day instead of our last so we had time to go again!! Marina was our guide, she kept a great pace for the group while still making sure everyone was together and safe. Amazing views. A couple photo stops along the route with information. Would and will go again!

Company provides warm suit for over your clothes and gloves. Wear hiking or waterproof boots for a couple puddles. Bring sunglasses, even if it isn’t sunny.

Great Tour! we luckily had a tripple Peaks Tour due to our impressive driving. also we were in luck and just the guide and the 3 followers the guide was really nice unfortunatly i cant remember his Name (the german guy) but i Think he will know! Thanks for the Tour again. If ur in for an adventure do it u will not regret it trust me.
12/10 would do it again.

Such a fun tour and a very different et way to see the countryside around Reykjavik. When the tour says 2 hours, it means 2 hours out on the bike, gearing up and safety lessons are outside this time which was an unexpected bonus. The guide was friendly and helpful and they keep the group together without rushing anyone. Most of the tour was off road which i loved. 10/10 would do again if I ever go back to Iceland.
