5.00I had an amazing tour of the volcano with my guide Alisa! I hadn't driven an ATV in a long time, and Alisa was patient with me as I got the hang of it. It was so fun exploring the volcano on an ATV. Alisa was very knowledgeable about the eruption history and impact to the community. I enjoyed the experience and my time with Alisa. Alisa also gave me great tips on other places to explore on the island, and I visited each place she suggested. I hope to be back one day.
Superb experience!

5.00This was the highlight of our week in Iceland. Mar, our guide, was excellent - very enthusiastic and engaging and really showed us around. It was also great fun with the ATVs being simple to use and v comfortable. We had 2 ATVs between 4 of us so just swapped drivers at various stages. Worked great
Great excursion - one of our favorite in Iceland
