Reykjavik Peak ATV Tour
If you’re looking for a fun excursion while in Reykjavík, the Reykjavik Peak ATV Tour tour is a great choice. With a 1 hour ride on powerful ATV’s, you can get your adrenaline going on the outskirts of Reykjavík. This tour is a great activity for families. Kids from 6 years of age can participate in this tour.
Reykjavík is a growing city, but it’s surrounded by quaint natural areas. These areas serve as a playground for locals and travelers alike. Just a 15 minutes drive from the city center you’ll find the ATV base camp, ideally located for fun excursions from the city.
Your quad bike tour takes you along the lovely Lake Hafravatn, and various terrains to have fun on. Then it’s onwards and upwards as you bike to the top of Hafrafell mountain – the high point of your journey. From there, you should be able to see the Hengill mountain range, Iceland’s third most active volcanic system, together with Hellisheiði, the geothermal power plant for the capital area. A spectacular view over Faxaflói bay and the whole capital region, Bláfjöll mountain range, and Esja, Reykjavik’s house mountain, is waiting for you.
