Best of · QUAD BIKES
Good quad bikes sell out weeks ahead in season and the great ones go first. Below: the 3 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Start with a guided ATV ride from Reykjavik to a mountain viewpoint, then head to the old harbor for lunch and a three-hour whale-watching trip in Faxafloi Bay. Guides provide riding gear, safety training, warm boat overalls, and blankets. Drivers need a valid license, but passengers do not.
“Excelente! Muy completo y divertido. Aunque me hubiera encantado más tiempo en las ATV”
Spend about eight hours pairing a guided ATV ride from Lambhagi with a three-hour Elding whale-watching cruise from Reykjavik’s Old Harbour. Guides such as James and Hinrik have led lively quad tours, while the boat trip searches for minke and humpback whales, dolphins, porpoises, puffins, and seabirds. Hotel pickup, gear, and transfers are included.
“Our guide for the quads, James was very friendly and gave us an awesome tour I wish we could have booked a longer time with him an hour wasn't enough. The whale watching tour was equally good we saw several whales and dolphins/ porpoise as well as many birds including Puffins, we also got engaged on the boat.”
Start with pickup in Reykjavik, then ride an ATV over varied ground toward Ulfarsfell mountain. After city harbor time for lunch, board a heated boat for a three-hour whale watch in Faxafloi Bay. You need a valid driver’s license to drive, and whale sightings are never guaranteed.
“What a great trip. We were picked up at our hotel and given a ride to our next excursion. The guides were great. We were given complete instruction on the bikes. But to be able to see Iceland from the top of the mountain was the best.”
Pick a hull, a species or a month.
