Buggy Safari and Golden Circle Tour from Reykjavik
Ride the rugged highlands of Reykjavik Peak, then discover Iceland's most iconic natural wonders on a full-day Golden Circle journey.
This Buggy and Golden Circle combo tour pairs the raw excitement of an off-road buggy ascent with a guided coach exploration of Iceland's most celebrated landmarks, all in a single action-packed day.
The day begins with a hotel pickup and a short drive to the buggy basecamp, where guides outfit every participant with safety gear and walk through all necessary protocols before departure. No prior off-road experience is required, making this an accessible adventure for first-time riders and seasoned explorers alike.
After the buggy segment concludes at the BSI Bus Terminal, guests transition seamlessly to a comfortable coach for the Golden Circle tour, visiting Gullfoss waterfall, the Geysir geothermal area, and Thingvellir National Park before returning to Reykjavik.
Tour Highlights
Stand beside Gullfoss, one of Iceland's most powerful waterfalls, as massive volumes of water cascade into a deep glacial gorge.
Watch Strokkur, Iceland's most active geyser, erupt skyward at the Geysir geothermal area in the heart of the Golden Circle.
Explore Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where geological and historical significance converge at the rift between tectonic plates.
Reach the summit of Reykjavik Peak by buggy for panoramic views spanning Faxafloi Bay, Esja mountain, Blafjoll range, and the capital region below.
Ride along scenic Lake Hafravatn through varied terrain, including challenging tracks that lead to Iceland's third most active volcanic zone.
All safety gear including helmet, gloves, overalls, ski mask, and rain gear is provided, so guests need only dress warmly and bring outdoor footwear.
Two trusted operators collaborate to deliver a smooth back-to-back experience with a convenient lunch break at the BSI Bus Terminal between segments.
Itinerary
Guests are collected from selected Reykjavik hotels, major bus stops, and the cruise ship port. A short drive brings the group to the buggy basecamp, where a 30-minute briefing and gear fitting takes place before departure.
The off-road route traces the shoreline of Lake Hafravatn before ascending through diverse volcanic terrain toward the summit of Reykjavik Peak. From the top, guests take in unobstructed views of the Hengill mountain range, Hellisheioi geothermal power plant, and the city of Reykjavik spread across the peninsula below.
After the buggy experience concludes, guests are transported to the BSI Bus Terminal in Reykjavik. Approximately 45 minutes are available here for a self-arranged lunch before boarding the Golden Circle coach.
The afternoon coach tour visits the Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall, and Thingvellir National Park. Expert guides from Reykjavik Excursions provide context and commentary throughout each stop.
Following the final stop at Thingvellir, the coach returns guests to selected drop-off points across Reykjavik, including major hotels, bus stops, and the cruise ship port.
