About this activity

Tear across Iceland's volcanic landscape on a guided 2-hour ATV adventure from Grindavik, riding through otherworldly lava fields and black-sand beaches while summiting peaks with panoramic views of the Blue Lagoon. This high-octane tour combines raw geothermal terrain with genuine Icelandic wilderness, far from typical tourist routes.

We ride to Krísuvík peninsula over the mountain Festarfjall and to the beach Selatangar where we take a short break before heading back for some more mountain safari. We ride on ATV through lava and black sand and up onto the mountain Hagafell, where we can expect a good view over the Blue Lagoon and the island of Eldey.

Highlights

  • ✓Ride through sprawling lava fields and black volcanic sand on all-terrain vehicles
  • ✓Summit Hagafell mountain for views spanning the Blue Lagoon and Eldey island
  • ✓Cross Festarfjall mountain en route to the remote Selatangar black-sand beach
  • ✓Explore the rugged Krísuvík peninsula's dramatic geological features
  • ✓Experience authentic geothermal landscape shaped by Iceland's volcanic activity

Insider tips

  • ★Book in the dry season (June–August) for better trail conditions; winter routes may be restricted due to snow and ice.
  • ★Wear multiple layers even in summer—wind on exposed mountain sections is noticeably colder than in town.
  • ★The Hagafell viewpoint is best visited mid-morning when cloud cover is typically thinnest and light is strongest for photos.
  • ★Arrive 15 minutes early to familiarize yourself with ATV controls; most participants have no prior quad experience.

Good to know

  • •Bring waterproof outer layers, sturdy closed-toe boots (not sneakers), and gloves; dust and wind are unavoidable.
  • •No prior ATV experience required; briefing and safety gear provided by the operator.
  • •Tour departs from Grindavik (roughly 45 minutes' drive from Reykjavik); confirm exact meeting point and pickup options when booking.
  • •Not suitable for pregnant women or those with serious back/joint conditions due to terrain roughness.
  • •Maximum vehicle weight limit typically applies; confirm with operator if you have mobility concerns.
