The Grapevine's take

Safari Quads

Safari Quads are a Reykjavík-based provider of ATV and Buggy tours that have been around for over twenty years, which is rare in Icelandic tourism. “If you find yourself in Reykjavík, but want to have an active, rugged experience that goes against the urban vibes and landscapes, this is perfect,” one panellist put it. Good for solo travellers, excellent for groups.
