We’ll drive a half-hour from Reykjavík to the Raufarhólshellir lava tube, a perfect example of an Icelandic lava cave. Explore this magnificent lava cave created more than 5,200 years ago in one of the most active volcanic areas in the world. We won’t need to climb or crawl on this tour. The path is easily walkable. During the tour, you learn about the geology of Iceland from your specially trained cave guide. After the lava caving adventure, we’ll take you to Reykjavík, where you will have time to have lunch and rest between the tours.
After the lunch break, you'll be picked up to take a short drive to the ATV base on the outskirts of the city, where the 650 cc CanAm Outlander Max Quad bikes will waiting. There you'll be given a short safety briefing, show you how the bikes work, and then head out on a one-hour ATV bike tour to the top of the Hafrafjall mountain.
After enjoying the spectacular view over the Reykjavik capital area and mountain Esja, you'll will return to the base. Driving these powerful machines is a great way to explore the hills and mountains on the city's outskirts.

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.
