One of the fun and unforgettable ways how you can explore Iceland and its famous Golden Circle route is by traveling in a buggy car.
Your day's trip will start from Skjól's Amazing Basecamp, where you'll get into a buggy car and make your way through Haukadalur Geothermal Valley. The valley is recognized for its hot springs, geysers, and mud pots. You'll then continue your tour to the Icelandic highlands. This is where you'll witness impressive views of Langjökull Glacier and Skjaldbreið Volcano. Langjökull Glacier is famous for being the second-largest glacier in Europe, covering two volcanic systems. Another important attraction that will wait for you is 32 meters high Gullfoss waterfall.
Your trip will continue on offbeat tracks, through rivers, and into the wilderness. So get ready to return dirty and wet but full of unforgettable memories.
Once you're back at the base camp, it's time to relax and refresh at a nearby Skjól Bistro.
You'll need a valid driver's license to drive the two-seat buggy car. Two people can use the vehicle, but if you prefer to ride alone, you must book it for one person and pay for the upgrade (6.500 ISK).
Yes, you do need to have a valid driving license from your home country.
No, you don’t need to have a specific motorcycle license, a regular driver’s license is enough to be able to join the tour.

Yes, we do. Langjökull Ice Cave is a magical experience, the tour has no minimum age and is a wonderful option for the whole family. Whale Watching with our partner company Elding has been a favourite with families traveling with young children, these guys have a great success rate in seeing whales (upwards of 98% in the summertime).
Another option would be the Landmannalaugar Safari on this tour you get to explore parts of the Icelandic highlands and bathe in natural hot springs. Most of our jeep tours are also suitable for children over the age of 6 years old. If you would like a nice and relaxing experience we would also recommend the Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon tour.

The standard in Iceland is 230V and 50Hz and we use F-type power sockets and plugs, so you might have to bring an adaptor if you are visiting from UK, USA, Canada or other countries using a different voltage, Hz or plugs.
We’ve partnered with the Kolviður Fund in a new carbon offsetting program, which passengers can select to participate in at the time of booking.
The Kolviður Fund is the oldest, most respected carbon offsetting program in Iceland. With your support, one tree will be planted in special Kolviður forests in Iceland to carbon offset your tour with us.
Kolviður forests are strategically planted to absorb the maximum amount of CO2 and the forests are protected for a minimum of 60 years. During their lifetime the trees absorb carbon and store it in their root system, trunk, and branches. Trees also prevent soil erosion and maintain storage of carbon in the soil.
