RIB speedboat whale safari from Húsavík with Puffin Island stops in Skjálfandi Bay. Warm overalls, expert guides, big sightings possible.
“Saw few sights of hump back whale, wish we had seen more, but who can predict nature!! Very happy that we got to see some..”
Ride ATVs from Mýrdalsjökull to Sólheimasandur’s black sands, see the DC3 wreck, cross rivers, and chase views toward Dyrhólaey.
“This is such an exciting experience. Our guide, Anthony, was so personable and gave us a lot of attention, explaining how life is for him over in Iceland. He also talked about the history and geography in the area. It was so much fun and I’m so glad that my family did this together!”
RIB speedboat whale watching from Húsavík with Puffin Island in season, expert guides, warm suits, and nonstop coastal thrills.
“These tours can be hit or miss but the Gentle Giants tour guide and rib boat pilot try their best to make sure you get some whale sightings. On my tour we were fortunate enough to see 5 different whales, some were quite close up to the rib boat. No puffin sightings since the tour…”
Ride a quad from Reykjavik outskirts up to Reykjavik Peak for big summit views, pro safety gear, and a thrilling off-road return.
“ATVs are really fun, and the person who guided us was very thoughtful and interesting. But I didn’t realize that riding one would make my arms so tired! I’d recommend people who don’t usually ride motorcycles to try another vehicle that’s more like a car.”
Reykjavik buggy safari with hotel transfers. Drive a 2-seat automatic 4x4 off-road, then enjoy Reykjavik Peak views with a guide.
“It’s very much fun, driving the snowy mountains was a great experience!”
East Iceland 1-hour RIB safari from Bakkagerði: puffins, seals, possible whales. Small group, fast ride, photo views.
“Great view of puffins and other animals, RIB is fun. The guides are very nice and knowledgeable. Comedy schtick wears thin. Overall highly recommend.”
Guided side-by-side ATV safari around Lake Mývatn with safety gear, off-road tracks, and short photo stops in Iceland’s wild north.
“Super Guide, das hat Spaß gemacht!”
