An epic ride in stunning landscapes
Get in touch with the raw power of black lava sand in Iceland's south shore.
This tour begins after you meet your ATV guide at the Base by Mýrdalsjökull glacier. You will receive all the necessary gear and a short safety briefing before venturing to ride on Iceland’s iconic black beaches.
The guide will lead the group to the stunning coastline to witness breathtaking views of the surrounding area. You’ll marvel at the views of Dyrhólaey, a peninsula that is the southernmost tip of the country, and the marvellous Mýrdalsjökull glacier in the distance.
After leaving the beach, the group will head to the famous Sólheimasandur plane wreck. This relic has been resting in the sand since 1973. Following the plane, you will drive to the Jökulsá river and up the foot of the mountain. This action-packed tour ends when you arrive back at the base.
Please note: All drivers must be 17 years of age or older and have a full, valid driver's license.

Are you wondering about something?
If you're planning a trip to Iceland, it's important to be prepared with the right information. Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) to help you plan your trip
You need a full valid driving licence to drive an ATV in Iceland. Unfortunately, according to Icelandic law, a motorbike or tractor licence, or a provisional licence, will not be sufficient. You will also need to be at least 17 years of age.
Anyone that does not have a valid licence can still join an Iceland ATV tour, but you will have to be a passenger. You will not be able to drive.
As part of all of our Iceland ATV tours, you’ll be provided with waterproof overalls, a balaclava and helmet, and waterproof boots if they’re required. However, you’ll need to come prepared with everything else you need to stay warm.
We recommend that you wear lots of warm layers, including a thermal base layer, a jumper or midlayer, and a warm jacket. While you won’t need a hat, warm socks and gloves can be a good idea.
Yes, you're allowed to bring a camera or GoPro to capture the stunning landscapes. However, keep in mind that you're responsible for securely attaching your equipment.
Unfortunately, two year olds won’t be able to ride on an ATV in Iceland. On all our tours, you will have to be at least 8 years old to ride and at least 17 to drive. This is to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
While most ATVs are built for just a single driver, the vehicles we use on our ATV tours in Iceland can fit a driver and a passenger. This way, if someone doesn’t have a valid licence, they can ride as a passenger. If you both do, then you can take it in turns to drive!
