Great way to experience lava fields! - Very fun experience, just enough thrill without feeling like it was unsafe. Guillermo our guide was very cognizant of making sure all our safety measures were implemented and showed us how to really have a good time in the buggies.

Great Dune Buggy experience! - This was an awesome experience. My boyfriend and I took part in this experience in December so it was reallyyyy cold. However, it was still really fun. Driving out in the hills and seeing different scenery within Reykjavik was amazing with the snow glistening in the background. Our tour guides were fun and checked in on everyone constantly. I would recommend doing this tour!

Fun trip but too focused on speed - Honestly, it was a fun trip. But the emphasis of the trip seems to be on speed. I heard a lot of people besides myself, saying they were just going really really fast. We were hoping to stop more to see the scenery and take it in. We did do one stop or we saw some steam vents and a boiling mud pit. But the focus was definitely on how fast we could get from one place to another, which really was not ideal.
