- Icelandic Mountain Guides by Icelandia - Mýrdalsjökull Base Camp - The tour begins base nearby the Mýrdalsjökull glacier in South Iceland. We start by going over the tour plan and safety instructions. From the base we cross some small rivers and head down to the black lava sands fields which derives from the dormant volcano Katla. Down by the black beach we stop and enjoy the amazing view up to the Mýrdalsjökull glacier and along the coast to the southernmost part of Iceland, the small peninsula Dyrhólaey. We then head along the coast to the famous aircraft wreck, from there we continue to the river Jökulsá and up to the foot of the mountain. Upon our return we follow the mountain back to the base.

It’s not just the beautiful views, it’s also the guide. - I went on the ATV tour with my family.
We had a guide named Hannis who was extremely informative about the scenes we stopped and looked at. He was funny and very personable! The ATV tour lasted around 2 hours of riding and 3 hours total.
We experienced amazing things this country has to offer.
Thank you Icelandic Mountain Guides for an amazing experience and forever memories!

Incredible views and fun ATV ride - This was a blast! They provided lots of warm gear and boots. The tour was about 2 hours with a few stops to take pictures. The ride was really fun through the black sand beach. We stopped at the famous plane crash site to take pictures. Incredible views and our guide gave some fun facts about the volcanos in Iceland and history of how the beaches were created. Our guide was Hinrik and he made our tour so much fun and made us all feel very safe. 5/5 experience, definitely recommend!!

ATVs worth every penny! - This was an amazing experience! The ATVs were a lot of fun. The views were amazing and the plane wreck was fun to see. Our tour guide Hinrik was so incredibly knowledgeable about the landscape, volcanoes and the plane wreck. He really made the experience special. You can tell he’s a proud Icelander and rightfully so!

Beautiful scenic atv tour! - It was a beautiful tour around the black sand beaches. Driving the atv was really fun and definitely worth the price. I did hope we’d do some more challenging routes instead of scenic ones but it was still really fun. The plane was really nice too!
