About this experience

Viking Frame - ATV Photo Adventure from Reykjavik

Unleash your inner explorer on an exhilarating ATV quad ride through the rugged, beautiful countryside of Reykjavik. This adrenaline-pumping tour is designed with visual storytellers in mind—bringing together the raw, untouched landscapes of the Viking sagas and the thrill of off-road driving.

Cameras and drones are highly encouraged! We’ll ride through dramatic wilderness fields, making strategic stops at breathtaking vantage points. Whether you are flying a drone to capture epic aerials of the Icelandic terrain or framing the perfect shot with your camera, you'll have the time and space to document the scenery.

This tour is suitable for all experience levels, including beginners, as our quads are fully automatic and super easy to operate.
