      Verified Must do ATV excursion!
Fantastic 2 hours! The quads have some speed, gear was provided and so warm, Goodilie (sorry for the spelling) was super friendly, knowledgeable about the area and the geology/history of the area. Terrific ride to the black sand beach, into a gorgeous valley and through rivers - fun!

    Verified Amazing hike on solheimajokull!
Bart was an amazing and friendly guide. Showed us a lot of things and gave us a lot of explanations regarding the glaciers. It’s really sad that the glacier is disappearing that fast, I highly advise people to book with them, do it asap! Also the hike is really easy, beginners won’t struggle, the guides are explaining everything clearly!

    Verified Highlight of our Iceland adventures!
The ATV experience was everything we were looking for and more! Such a great way to tour Iceland’s beautiful black sand beach and famous plane wreck, as well as its stunning landscape. The staff did an amazing job explaining how to operate the ATV bikes, as well guide us and provide interesting facts about the sites we visited. Paul and Magni truly made this an unforgettable experience for the group with their fun sense of humor and infectious enthusiasm. Overall, this was definitely a highlight of our trip and would highly recommend to any adrenaline junkie tourists to experience.

We booked a three hour glacier walk tour with Saemundur (Sam). I have adaptive needs due to an injury to my spinal cord. Our guide asked about my concerns and best my abilities and he came up with a plan to get me up and walking on the ice and down safe for a “once in a lifetime” experience. Sam was very experienced, taught us about the area where we were and was safe and professional. I am so thankful our paths crossed and he was able to give me this incredible gift of an experience. Thank you we will be back!

    Verified Wonderful Experience
We booked ATV – Quad Bike Tours as part of ReyEx South Coast & DC-3 Plane Wreck Black Beach ATV Adventure I cannot express in words how satisfied I was with this activity. Everything was just perfectly organized and it became an unforgettable adventure. The key figures were our guide Gabor (Reykjavik Excursions) and Bjarki (Icelandic Mountain Guides). Gabor was extremely friendly and did much more than you would expect, fulfilled our group's special requests, made sure that we all took beautiful photos and always had everything under control, and above all, perfect timing. We also had a lot of fun with Bjarki (Icelandic Mountain Guides), who was our guide on the ATV adventure. He explained how to operate the vehicle excellently and made sure that our trip was very entertaining and that we felt very safe the whole time! It's not the cheapest activity, but Gabor and Bjarki did so much that it ended up being a great value for money. Gabor and Bjarki, thank you very much for everything, we will book this tour again next year!

    Verified 5 hours glacier walk and ice cave tour
Superb experience on the glacier thanks to the guides involved: from Ágúst who carried us around with the most friendly and professional approach, to the support team who made the caves accessible. We chose the 5 hours tour and it was definitely worth it as we were able to access three caves. Ágúst was also incredibly prepared on a number of topics related the glacier and the nature surrounding us: he topped of the experience. THANKS GUYS!
