About this experience

This 5-hour tour combines a guided ATV adventure on the Reykjanes Peninsula with the option to unwind at the Blue Lagoon — all in a single day trip from Reykjavík. Hotel pickup is included, making the experience seamless from start to finish.

After being collected from your Reykjavík accommodation, you travel directly to the Blue Lagoon area, where you transfer to meet your ATV guides. The ATV base sits just a short drive from the lagoon. From there, your group sets off on mountain roads, climbing over Festarfjall mountain before descending toward the coast.

The highlight of the ride is Selatangar, a dramatic black sandy beach scattered with the ruins of an old fishing station. You'll stop to explore on foot before continuing the mountain safari for the remainder of the two-hour ride.

Once the ATV adventure concludes, your guide returns you to the Blue Lagoon. You can choose to spend the afternoon soaking in the geothermal waters (admission purchased separately) or board the next available bus back to your hotel in Reykjavík.

Experience details

Your day begins with a hotel pickup in Reykjavík, followed by a drive to the Blue Lagoon area on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Here you change vehicles and meet your professional ATV guides at the nearby base.

The two-hour ATV ride takes you along mountain roads, over Festarfjall, and down to the black sands of Selatangar, where a guided stop lets you explore the remnants of an old coastal fishing settlement on foot.

After the ride, you return to the Blue Lagoon. You may choose to purchase Blue Lagoon admission separately and spend the afternoon in the geothermal pool, or simply board the next available bus back to your Reykjavík hotel. ATVs are shared between two riders by default; solo riding is available for an additional fee payable on-site.

Why choose this tour

This tour is ideal for travellers who want to combine off-road adventure with Iceland's most iconic geothermal destination in a single outing. Rather than booking two separate experiences, you get hotel pickup, a professional ATV guide, all protective gear, and return bus transport in one package.

The Reykjanes Peninsula landscape — lava fields, volcanic peaks, and black sand beaches — provides a dramatic backdrop that few tours access by quad bike. The stop at Selatangar adds genuine historical interest to what is already a thrilling ride, making this a well-rounded adventure suitable for a wide age range.
