Alota Lava Fun! Fast buggies and great views! - Amazing adventure on a private tour with Artur across the lava fields. We saw the geysers, geothermal power plants, spectacular views! In particular my son enjoyed the off terrain feel of it in the buggy. Thanks!

Yeahhhhhhh - ​What a memorable adventure! Having the chance to do this 2-hour solo buggy ride with our guide was a real luxury. The pleasure of driving was total, whether on winding paths or when crossing the river. It's simple: you can only smile at the wheel of a buggy! The cost is significant, but the experience is so heady that I would do it again without hesitation. The only point of improvement, if we can find one, would be to have the possibility to make a little more "sporting" detour for fun, while respecting the safety rules, of course. To summarize: go ahead, it is a unique experience!

Great Adventure - with kiddos in tow! - We had a great time and experience with Safari Quads! They made the whole experience super easy to book, check in and to locate. They were in a close location to Reykjavik for the meeting location. They also do pick ups, though we had a car and opted for the meet on location. The group size was just right (5 buggys total in our group) . It felt like we had the field area to ourselves. I am not a super adventurous person but others in my group are. I felt comfortable enough going at my speed without any pressure. Being able to see the landscapes along the way was super cool. My favorite spot in the tour - spoiler alert - was crossing a small stream and splashing through it. Our end destination was a remote hot spring. It was cool to see the spewing clay like substance coming from the ground. I was traveling with kids (11 and 8). They loved it. They were able to attend in the buggy with the parent drivers. If the passengers were of age to drive the buggy, they had an opportunity to swap drivers at the breaking point (hot spring). Safari Quad guides even made sure that everyone in the group had a photo opportunity - they took pictures of individuals on the buggy and off - whatever the groups wanted/ needed. This is always appreciated. Sometimes on vacation its hard to get group shots. them offering it up on the stops - it was appreciated!! Would recommend and do this again when in Iceland! We will be back.. Thank you Safari! WE LOVED IT!!

- We had an awesome tour on the Buggy Lava Field Adventure. Our guide was patient in explaining everything before we got started and then let it rip on the track. It was fast but not in anyway unsafe. We explored a geothermal area on our stop as well. Great staff and equipment. Highly recommend.

Excellent Adventure - Was lucky enough to have Weronica as a guide and be the only couple on the buggy tour. Veronica was great, safe and friendly and knew much about the landscape and natural hot steam bath that you will visit. Ask her about the mud bath tour and Go Bills!

Amazing! - Super fun tour! The tour wasn't too hard and wasn't too easy - fine if you've never done it before. You will receive a suit, gloves and a helmet on arrival, so you are well packed. I would recommend wearing sunglasses because of the drifting sand and any rain and wind. The views were beautiful. Definitely recommended!
