Had a blast - What a way to spend our last night in Iceland! Mariana was our amazing guide! We knew we were in good hands with her and she was also fun to talk to at the stopping point to see the sunset. We covered a lot of ground and despite the rainy weather got to see a gorgeous sunset. Highly recommend!

One of the best ATV ride - Mariana ( i think that’s how you spell her name but she’s the Argentian) was wonderful!!! She was fun and had full of energy. She took care of us and made sure we were okay riding up through the mountains. This was one of the best ATV ride I had due to the differet terrains (rocky, hills, muddy, smooth, bumpy lol) I got to experience and OMG the landscape was beautiful! Fields of purple lupine everywhere! You got to book this experience and you will not regret it! They provide all the gear you need and all you really need to bring is yourself or family and friends. The ride is also has enough time for you to take it all in, not something that onl last 30mins. The view from the top of the mountain was awesome while seeing the midnight sun and Mariana was very knowledgeable of the area. I also like that at the end of the experience you get to write your name or whatever you want on the wall. Buy it!!!! :) it’s totally worth it!

Fun time - I would definitely recommend this ATV tour. We didn’t have good weather so we couldn’t see the midnight sun. It was cloudy and drizzling rain. We thought they would cancel the tour, but glad they didn’t. The operator was really nice and they provided warm overalls to wear. I was not cold at all; and I’m from Florida so I was afraid of being too cold. We drove the ATV’s for 2 hours across streets and back roads up and down a mountain. I was with my husband and 2 teenage daughters. We all had a great time!

Fun experience - It was an overall fun experience but wish we picked a daytime one. When we went it was end of summer and getting dark earlier and couldn’t really experience the beauty of Iceland in the dark. It was also pouring rain. I also wish the instructor gave a little more guidance in the beginning as this was my first time using an ATV . Not for a beginners
