About this experience
Like Worlds away but still so close. We are only 20 min drive away from downtown of Reykjavik. We go on the ATV,s up to the Reykjavik backyard hills where the Wilderness starts. You will witness a wonderful view over the area, volcanoes, the steam from the Geothermal, The Reykjavik mountain Esjan, the towns, the lakes, horses. You can even see the famous basalt columns on this totally 2.5 - hour Activity. If we are lucky you can perhaps see the ignition of the red sky of the Midnight Sun in the Summer time or perhaps witness the Ignition of the Northern Lights in the Winter time like in another world.
We pick up from all hotels in the Reykjavik area if it is possible. But note that the Reykjavik city has made a non pickup zones for tourist in the downtown so we pick up from special tourists bus stops over there. The nearest Tourists Bus stop is usually not far away.
If you decide to meet us at the meeting point our basecamp is only 20 minutes drive from downtown Reykjavik.
