This exhilarating tour will take you quad-biking through an untouched part of Iceland’s iconic South Coast, replete with dark black volcanic beaches, mighty glaciers, icy-glacial streams and the isolated remains of a famous plane that crashed decades ago.

It is an area of spectacular contrasts, where white-crested waves wash against jet-black beaches, rugged lava fields give way to imposing white glaciers and pockets of greenery dot the otherwise foreboding horizon. There is no better way to explore it than on the back of a quad-bike, allowing us to have some heart-pumping fun amidst stunning natural scenery.
