Mountain Safari ATV
You will be picked up from your hotel or designated bus stop by Safari Quads shuttle bus starting at 9:00, taking you to their base camp in Úlfarsárdalur. The Mountain Safari tour starts at 09:30 and total riding time is 1 hr. including short stops. Your quad bike tour takes you on a route along the lovely Lake Hafravatn and a variety of terrains to have fun on. Then it’s onwards and upwards as you bike to the top of Hafrafell mountain – the high point of our journey. Breathtaking views of Reykjavik and the surrounding mountains await! Note that passengers need to have a valid driving licence to operate the bikes but children can ride on the back of the bike.
Please select "solo atv" for each person that wishes to ride alone, or "sharing atv" for anyone that wishes to share a bike. If you are alone and choose "sharing atv", we might pair you with another rider or ask that you upgrade to "solo" on arrival.
Whale Watching
After the tour tour you will be driven to Reykjavík's Old Harbour where you can visit our Whale Watching Centre and walk around the harbour area before the whale watching tour which starts at 13:00. You can expect to see Reykjavík from a different angle, the surrounding areas and towns of Faxaflói bay, Snæfellsnes glacier and volcano and whales and dolphins such as minke whales, humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins and porpoises. After exploring the wonders of the whales and seabirds Faxaflói offers you return to the harbour around 16:00 and hop onto our bus as we take you back to your hotel or designated bus stop.
