“Lovely day. First quad biking. Lovely staff friendly and helpful. Led up the mountain (along public roads) in a small (6 quads) group. Get given overalls, gloves helmet etc then a nice 5 min stop on the very top for photos etc Whale watching. Again friendly staff, have overalls and blankets should you need them. With plenty of indoor places to sit when get cold. We did manage to see whales but even if we didn’t was enjoyable just being on the boat watching the snowy mountains and over scenery as we sailed past.”

Start with an ATV ride from Lambhagi, reaching a fell above Reykjavik with wide views over the city and sea. Then head to the Old Harbour for a three-hour Elding cruise. Guides such as James and Hinrik bring a friendly touch, while warm gear and Wi-Fi are included.

“What a fun day! 4-wheeling outside, taking in all the views and seeing Reykjavik from the top of a mountain nearby! Our guide, Hinrik, was fun, funny and full of adventure. And the combination of this trip with the whale watching cruise - great day! Hint: the seas are choppy, just take the sea tablet that is offered or your whole trip will be ruined!”

“What a great trip. We were picked up at our hotel and given a ride to our next excursion. The guides were great. We were given complete instruction on the bikes. But to be able to see Iceland from the top of the mountain was the best.”
