After gearing up and a safety briefing at basecamp, set out across asphalt and gravel roads, mountain tracks, rocky paths, and steep ascents.

Ride past Lake Hafravatn and climb to panoramic viewpoints over Reykjavík, the bay area, and surrounding mountains. The route continues to a second summit for even wider views over the Reykjanes Peninsula, and on clear days you may even spot Snæfellsjökull glacier in the distance.

With automatic ATVs, expert guidance, and all essential riding gear provided, this experience is a great choice for adventurous beginners as well as riders looking for a more complete off-road tour near the city.

Twin Peaks ATV Tour from Reykjavik

Ride off the beaten paths in the outback of Reykjavík and experience the panoramic view over the city and the bay area from the Reykjavik Peak & Úlfarsfell. A complete ATV / Quad experience. Twin Peaks, as the name indicates, is an extended version of the Reykjavik Peak with an extra mountain top added to the mix. A bit more technical, this is definitely a more complete ATV experience, combining gravel roads, mountain tracks, rocky paths and steep ascent. Take a ride in the scenic outback area and experience the “million dollar view” over Reykjavik. The adventure begins from our base camp where we start the ride on a asphalt road for a short while and then turn into a gravel road along beautiful lake Hafravatn before heading up a mountain trail to the top of Hafrafell. Once you stand there, you get to enjoy the great view over the whole Reykjavík area and the surrounding mountain range. After this first hour on the ATV, you will get more confident and we can head safely to Mountain Úlfarsfell where the view over Reykjavik, the bay area and Reykjanes Peninsula is even more stunning. On a clear day you will even be able to see Snæfellsjökull glacier, hundreds of kilometers away. Twin Peaks is an excellent choice for those who want more than just an introduction to the quads.

Drop off (Optional)
