ATV Reykjavik Peak Tour & Golden Circle Day Trip
Quad bike to mountain summits, then journey through Iceland's most iconic natural wonders in a single unforgettable day.
This ATV and Golden Circle combo tour lets you experience two of Iceland's most sought-after adventures back to back, starting with a thrilling quad bike ascent to Reykjavik Peak and finishing with a guided coach journey through Gullfoss, Geysir, and Thingvellir National Park. Combining these experiences in one day saves time and gives you more flexibility to discover the rest of Iceland at your own pace.
The day opens with a one-hour ATV ride that takes you along the shores of Lake Hafravatn before climbing the rugged terrain of Hafrafell mountain. From the summit, the views stretch across the Hengill volcanic system, Hellisheiði geothermal power plant, Faxaflói bay, and Reykjavik's beloved Esja mountain.
After the ATV segment, guides transfer you to the departure point for the Golden Circle bus tour. The afternoon unfolds across three landmark sites that define Iceland's geological and cultural identity: the thundering cascade of Gullfoss, the erupting Strokkur geyser at Geysir, and the historically layered rift valley of Thingvellir National Park.
This combination is well suited to families, first-time visitors, and anyone who wants to cover significant ground without sacrificing depth. All safety gear is provided for the ATV portion, and no prior riding experience is required.
