Description

Enjoy an adrenaline rush as you discover the beauty of Thakgil canyon on this fantastic three-hour buggy tour! This experience is perfect for travelers who want to visit mountain caves, black beaches, glaciers, and rivers while driving an incredible buggy.

Your adventure starts in the town of Vik, located on the South Coast, about 117 miles (188 km) from Reykjavik city. At the meeting point, you will be greeted by your expert buggy guide to start your exciting experience.

The buggies are open vehicles that are stable, secure, and easy to handle, making them ideal for new drivers. After a quick safety briefing and instructions on how to operate the buggy, you’ll be ready to set off on your adventure.

Once you are geared up with your helmet and overall, you will take a seat in your buggy, and your expert guide will lead you and your group through the stunning black sand beaches and beyond.

As you journey through Iceland’s extraordinary landscape, you will drive in Thakgil canyon, a hidden gem nestled in the mountains with the majestic Myrdalsjokull glacier towering behind it. This remote and beautiful valley is covered in vibrant green moss, making it a striking contrast to the black sand beach.

The buggy allows you to traverse the rugged terrain with ease, crossing rivers and rocky paths, all while soaking in the breathtaking scenery around you. You will also get to explore mountain caves, giving you a closer look at Iceland’s unique geology and natural beauty.

The thrill of fast-paced driving combined with the stability of the buggy allows for an exciting yet comfortable experience, no matter the weather.

Throughout the tour, there will be plenty of opportunities to stop for photos and take in the stunning surroundings.

Your guide will share stories and folk tales passed down through generations, giving you a deeper connection to the local culture and history. Whether you're snapping a picture behind the wheel or listening to local legends, this tour promises an unforgettable experience.

After about three hours of driving through the southern landscape, you will return to the base in Vik, where you’ll end the experience filled with memories of an exhilarating day in Iceland’s wild, untamed nature.
