About the tour

Buggy Ride into the Untamed Highlands

Take the Wheel – Buggy Ride into the Untamed Highlands

Get ready for an unforgettable buggy ride into the untamed highlands, where adventure and raw Icelandic nature come together. From the very beginning, your journey starts at the hotel, where expert guides welcome you and walk you through a quick, hands-on introduction to your buggy. As a result, both first-time drivers and experienced riders quickly gain confidence.

Once you’re ready, you drive straight into the rugged landscapes of Kerlingarfjöll. Along the way, you tackle steep hills, cross icy rivers, and navigate rough mountain tracks. At the same time, you’ll pause at carefully selected viewpoints to take in sweeping panoramas of Iceland’s wild highlands. In addition, these stops give you time to fully connect with the surrounding nature.

Moreover, this buggy ride into the untamed highlands takes you beyond the usual routes, just outside the protected nature reserve. From there, you continue toward the majestic Hofsjökull glacier, one of Iceland’s largest ice caps. Because of the ever-changing terrain, every moment feels dynamic and exciting. At times, the landscape shifts dramatically, making the experience even more immersive.

Ultimately, this adventure blends adrenaline, freedom, and breathtaking scenery into a powerful, unforgettable journey.
