What moves the price

Single or double bike, and how long. An hour on a shared quad is the entry price; two hours solo is roughly double.

What the hotel pickup costs you

We can put a number on this rather than guess. Across 26 ATV & buggy tours , the ones you drive to yourself have a middle price of €197, and the ones that collect you from your hotel have a middle price of €506 — 157% more.

If you have a car, meeting on location is the single biggest saving available on this kind of tour. If you are relying on the bus, the difference is what that seat genuinely costs to run — it is not a markup.

Medians across 15 meet-on-location and 11 pickup tours, per person, day tours only.

The cheapest ATV & buggy tours we'd actually book

Cheapest is not always right — a €50 saving hurts less than a wasted day. These are the low-price options we'd still put our name to.

Our honest take

If an ATV or buggy tour is the thing you came to Iceland for, pay the middle price rather than the floor — the difference usually buys a smaller group and a guide with time for you. If it's a nice-to-have on a day you're already busy, the cheapest option does the job. Either way, book it for a day early in your trip: if weather cancels it, you'll have another day to try again. Most of these run in Golden Circle, Reykjanes & Blue Lagoon, South Coast, Vatnajökull & Jökulsárlón.

ATV & buggy prices: questions people ask

How much does an ATV or buggy tour cost in Iceland?

We sell 61 ATV & buggy tours from 28 Icelandic operators. The cheapest is €102 per person, the typical price is €263, and the top end is €2,364. Single or double bike, and how long. An hour on a shared quad is the entry price; two hours solo is roughly double.

Is there a booking fee?

No. You pay the operator's own price and we take a commission out of it, so booking here costs the same as booking direct — with one checkout if you book several tours.

Can I get a refund if I cancel?

On most of these, yes: cancel more than 24 hours before and you get the full amount back. The exact rule belongs to the operator and is shown on each tour page before you pay.

Where can you ride ATVs in Iceland?

In two very different places on this site. Near Reykjavík, the Hafnarfjörður lava fields, twenty minutes from town, host the ATV combos with caving, horses and whale watching (/experience/292/, /experience/1603/). In the Westfjords, Activity Tours runs one-hour and three-hour rides from Drangsnes and Djúpavík on the Strandir coast (/experience/1176229/, /experience/1167831/), with fjord views and almost no other traffic. The Westfjords rides are better; Reykjavík is easier to reach.

Do I need a driving licence to ride an ATV in Iceland?

Yes, a full valid car licence to drive one. Passengers ride behind the driver and do not need a licence, but minimum ages apply for both; check the tour page. Bring the physical licence card. Standard pricing puts two people on one ATV, with a single-rider supplement if you want your own. Buggies (/experience/7689/) are side-by-side and more car-like, if you are unsure about balancing an ATV.
