Description
Experience the stunning landscapes of Iceland in an unforgettable manner with the Quad Bike Tour in South Iceland. This adventurous outing allows you to witness dramatic black sand beaches, towering volcanoes, and the remnants of abandoned aircraft.
South Iceland Quad Bike Tour
At the scheduled time, we will convene at the Mýrdalsjökull glacier base camp. After the group assembles, we will don our thermal gear and receive a thorough briefing from our instructor on operating the quad bikes. Let the adventure begin!
Once prepared, we will hop onto our quad bikes and embark along the southern coastline of Iceland, unveiling some of the nation’s most breathtaking vistas. We will navigate across gentle rivers and streams until we arrive at the renowned black sand beaches adjacent to the Katla volcano.
As we proceed, we will soon encounter one of the most notable landmarks in this region — Sólheimasandur Beach and the wreck of an abandoned airplane. Here, we will pause to reflect on the history behind the aircraft's unfortunate crash.
Following our exploration, we will remount our quads and continue our journey further along the southern coast towards the majestic Dyrhólaey cliffs. At the southernmost tip of Iceland, we will cross the Jökulsá River to witness the splendor of Mount Heiðarhorn.
Eventually, we will start making our way back to the Vík base camp, arriving approximately one hour after our initial departure.
