Full description
Venture into West Iceland’s epic landscapes with the Private Silver Circle & ATV Adventure! Kick off your day with a scenic journey from Reykjavik, exploring the legendary Silver Circle route: Deildartunguhver hot spring, historic Reykholt, and the stunning waterfalls of Hraunfossar. Experience Húsafell, a charming mountain village, before swapping wheels for quads! After a full safety briefing, enjoy 1.5 hours of adrenaline-pumping ATV quad biking across volcanic highland tracks with panoramic views toward Langjökull glacier. All equipment provided and no experience needed—just bring your sense of adventure! Your private expert guide ensures a seamless day packed with Icelandic wonders and off-road thrills. Return to Reykjavik by 18:00 with a camera full of memories.
The Húsafell area sits at the edge of the West Iceland highlands — lava fields, river valleys, and the glacial terrain that leads to Langjökull. On this version of the Silver Circle, guests explore it by quad bike.After the full base route — Deildartunguhver, Reykholt, Hraunfossar, and the village of Húsafell — the group picks up ATVs and rides through the lava field and highland track system above the village. About 1.5 hours of actual riding, with open views toward Langjökull glacier and the surrounding highland plateau.
Full safety briefing and all protective gear provided on-site. No prior experience required. A valid driving license is required to operate an ATV independently; passengers can ride without one. Returns to Reykjavik approximately 18:00. A good option for guests who want an active outdoor adventure without going onto the glacier.

...i did not get water as ordered.the driver was a very good fellow but nt a guide
Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Excellent! Our guide was wonderful and kept the pace appropriate for my husband who has mobility issues. Although we didn’t see many cats, we learned a lot of interesting things about the city.
