Tour itinerary
This is a guided tour designed for those who crave bumpy, dusty and dirty driving thrills and is a unique way to enjoy the Icelandic nature. It’s a fantastic adrenaline treatment and there is no extra charge for dust, mud, water splashes, or even snow! The tour is available all year round and is enjoyable in all weather – yes, even in rain… The Wetter the Better!
We are based only 15 minutes from downtown Reykjavik. Get dressed in our waterproof gear, strap into your two-seat Buggy and prepare to overcome obstacles in the rugged landscape by the slopes of the Reykjavik Peak city mountain.
We drive directly onto bumpy mountain roads, climb hills. We stop mid-way for the view, to take photos and to change drivers should you and your travel partner both want to experience the joy of driving a Buggy. You can also book a private buggy to get more driving time, but we promise that being a passenger is also brilliant fun.
All you need is a spirit for adventure and a valid driving license for the driver!
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about this tour
I've never driven a buggy. Is that difficult?
No, our buggies are very easy to drive. They are automatic machines that you will master in only a few minutes.
Do I need off-road experience to drive your machines?
No prior experience is needed. You will be driving an automatic 4-wheel-drive UTV with a full roll cage and long-travel suspension. It has the same controls as any automatic car or truck. Put the shift lever into drive and go. Even shifting into 4-wheel drive is just the push of a button.
What clothes should I wear?
Wear something you don't mind getting wet and/or dirty. It is a very good idea to bring an extra set of clothing. Wear a warm base layer (the one touching your skin); wool and synthetic materials are best.
What safety riding gear do you provide?
We provide our customers with a helmet, gloves, a balaclava and waterproof overalls.
What is the minimum age of buggy drivers and passengers?
The minimum age for buggy drivers is 17 and the minimum age for passengers is 6. A driver's licence is required.
Are these buggies safe?
Yes. These buggies are very safe. They are built with a low centre of gravity, so they are not tippy, and passengers sit in a 4-point harness inside a complete roll cage. They are much safer than ATV quad bikes.
What is the pace of the tour?
You set the pace of your tour. The pace always depends on the slowest driver. The tour is not a race. It should be fun, and you will also be able to enjoy the scenery.
What kind of machines do you use on your tours?
At Buggy Adventures we use top-of-the-line, factory-made 4-wheel-drive Can-Am 800cc buggies. They were designed with quality, performance and safety in mind, and their long-travel suspension provides the smoothest ride possible over rugged terrain. Wild enough for the off-road pro and tame enough for the first-time novice, our machines will not disappoint. You'll be coming back for more!
Will the tour be cancelled if it's raining?
No way, it's even more fun riding in the rain!
