Discover the incredibly diverse landscapes of Iceland on this quad bike tour to the Golden Circle from Reykjavík!

This excursion departs from Reykjavík, the capital and largest city of Iceland, located on the country’s southwestern coast. You'll embark on an exciting quad bike tour to the Golden Circle, one of Iceland's most popular routes home to three major natural attractions - Þingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss Waterfall.

The quad biking adventure to the Golden Circle begins at the meeting point in Reykjavík, where you'll be greeted by your experienced guide. They will transfer you to the starting point of the activity. Upon arrival, you'll receive your open-air all-terrain vehicle and safety equipment (overalls, helmet and balaclava). No previous experience is needed, the quad bikes are fully automatic and easy to use.

Each quad will be shared between two participants, with one driver and one passenger and the chance to switch if you wish. After a quick safety briefing and driving instructions, the quad biking to the Golden Circle begins! Following the guide, you'll traverse ever-changing landscapes, testing the bikes on different terrains and climbing to the mountain top of Hafrafell, where you'll be treated to amazing panoramic views of Reykjavík. Then, you'll continue on the Golden Circle tour from Reykjavík!

Throughout the quad biking adventure, you'll visit the most popular attractions in the Golden Circle, including the magnificent Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the park, you can witness the American and Eurasian tectonic plates above ground and learn about their geological and historical importance. You'll also visit the fascinating Geysir Geothermal Area where you can see Strokkur, one of the most famous geysers in the world which erupts every 5-10 minutes, sending boiling water up to 20-30 metres (65-98 feet) into the air.

The Golden Circle quad bike tour continues to Gullfoss, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland. It is created by the river Hvítá and tumbles into a 32-metre (105-foot)-deep crevice. You'll get up close to the waterfall and even feel the spray of glacier water on your face! After your exciting quad bike tour of Gullfoss, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Þingvellir National Park, the guide will transfer you back to the starting point in Reykjavík.
