Shared ATV ride from Reykjavik with hotel-area pickup, warm gear, and mountain views at Reykjavik Peak and Wolf Mountain.
“This was such a fun adventure. I was worried that I would be scared but never was. I'm not real crazy about heights, but this was not a problem. The cover-all's that are provided keep you nice and warm. The pick up and drop off was effertless. Ladies..... Wear a sports bra. It's very bumpy.”
