Great Adventure - We had a blast on the Black Sand Beach ATV tour. We rode the sands to the beach and plane wreck, had fun riding through some dunes and then headed back to the canyon for additional exploration. Beautiful scenery. Even with rainy weather it was a great time. We stayed warm and dry in the provided gear. Loved our guides Anthony and Magni. They were knowledgeable and fun.

Best Buggy experience thanks to Bjarki! - It was the first time for me to drive such a buggy and I don't regret a second of it. I've even made this account on TripAdvisor to tell everyone about it and to thank Bjarki again. Thank you! ️
