WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Kelsey M

This was by far one of our favorite parts during our time here at Iceland.

Lisa, our tour guide was a down to earth exciting person to have guided us in this buggy experience. I was terrified but she definitely assured any worries I had. I will preface with this, if you listen to the rules and listen to the guide the better the experience you will have and the faster the speeds you may go. We had some unfortunate poor souls who did not listen which affected our experience but Lisa did end up making it even more wonderful towards the end.

You may think you are going too fast but you do need to just understand that these are made for off road so do not be afraid to let the vehicle do what it’s suppose to do.

Overall this was amazing and we got to see the geothermal pipes and the lava field which hearing the history behind was also quite interesting. Especially since the guides see environmental differences almost on a daily basis. Would def do this again.

What a great and adventure filled family experience! Everything was very well done from the start. Safari Quads figured out a way to accommodate our family of 5 with only a few days notice. They also called to confirm and made sure we knew where to meet the group a day before.

Once we arrived everyone helped us with our safety and warm weather, rain gear. Thank goodness for all this gear because it rained most of our trip, but we stayed dry.

Sir Kaktuz was a fun and engaging guide. We traveled up and down mountains, through water, and over moon like rocks.
