Description

Discover the magical northern lights and enjoy authentic rye bread during this exhilarating buggy tour close to Reykjavik. Travelers keen for an adrenaline rush under the beauty of the aurora borealis and some delicious rye bread cooked in a mountain hot spring should book this tour now.

Your nighttime excursion begins at 7:00 p.m. at the tour operator's headquarters, 20 miles (33.4 kilometers) southeast of Reykjavik. It's next to the Hveradalir geothermal area, an otherworldly landscape that will invigorate your senses.

This tour begins when you meet your expert guide and the other participants. You'll put on a full-body suit over your clothing to keep you warm and protected throughout the ride.

Your guide will run through the safety procedures before your group sets off on an exciting ride into the night. Buggies are easy to operate, safe, and comfortable. Drivers must be 17 or older with a valid international driver's license, while anyone aged eight or older can enjoy riding as a passenger.

Buggies are all-terrain vehicles with two or four seats. They're fully automatic, inspected, and road legal. They boast excellent safety and design features, such as a roll cage, safety belts, and double A-arm front suspension, allowing them to safely and efficiently handle rugged terrain.

Your group will drive the buggies into the night, a unique way to enjoy Icelandic nature. The vehicles have heavy lights for excellent nighttime visibility, so you can safely enjoy this excursion to its fullest.

Riding behind the mountains, you can drive at your chosen pace while enjoying the adrenaline rush and your beautiful surroundings. The landscape is a stunning natural playground where you can test the buggy's capabilities or simply enjoy the ride!

Far from the interference of city lights, you'll have a prime location for viewing the northern lights. When they begin to dance overhead, your group will turn the buggy lights off to witness the aurora borealis in all its glory.

The northern lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed. However, your experienced guide will check the aurora forecast before your trip to ensure ideal conditions. They also know the best spots to see the sky alight in splashes of green and purple, an unforgettable spectacle.

This tour also comes with the bonus of naturally-baked rye bread. You'll drive to a hot spring high in the mountains to retrieve the fresh bread that has been baking underground for you all day! Tuck in and enjoy a taste of authentic Iceland cooked to perfection, an experience you'll remember for years.

You'll finish your excursion at the tour's starting point, where you'll part ways with your group and return to Reykjavik or your nearby accommodation.

Don't miss this memorable northern lights tour with a thrilling buggy ride and hot spring-baked rye bread close to Reykjavik. Check availability now by choosing a date.
