Volcanic Springs ATV adventure from Reykjavík
Feel free to contact us
Description
ATV ride into Iceland’s volcanic heart: This Volcanic Springs ATV tour is the longer, wilder option, a 3-hour off-road adventure where lava fields, steaming geothermal areas, and huge landscapes stack up into one unforgettable ride.
Lava trails and raw terrain: Power across rugged tracks shaped by centuries of eruptions, with the kind of black volcanic ground and mossy textures that make the Reykjanes and Hengill region feel truly otherworldly.
Geothermal “springs” scenery: The route brings you into areas where steam rises from the ground and geothermal activity is part of the view, a rare chance to feel Iceland’s energy up close while you’re still in adventure mode.
Big viewpoints, wide horizons: Expect panoramic stops across the Hengill area and beyond, with long views that can stretch toward the south coast landscapes on clear days.
Action-packed but guided: Your guide sets the pace for the group, keeps the ride smooth and safe, and makes sure everyone gets the fun version of the terrain, whether you’re new to ATVs or already love off-road riding.
Choose your ride style: Go shared for teamwork and laughs, or choose a single rider ATV if you want full control for the whole tour.
