LAVA BEACH 2 HOUR ATV / QUAD TOUR
About the tour
You will experience:
√ Spectacular mountain views
√ Black sandy beach and old ruins
√ Gravel mountain road
√ Rugged coastline
The fun and exciting Lava Beach tour runs through historic lava fields, the old harbour area Hópsnes that now serves as a recreational outdoor area with abandoned dramatic shipwrecks and over hundred year old foundations from the beginning of Grindavík's settlement that remains unspoiled and protected for a reminder of the old life.
We continue our adventure by riding along the coastline with twisties through fun and mildly challenging mountain trails offering sightings that feel other-worldly. You’ll feel amazed by the sights on the way where you can literally feel the human-voulnerable force our earth can pull up on us.
The mountain trail leads us to the black sandy beach of Selatangar (Sealbay). In this area there are old fishing huts from sub 11th century where fisherman stationed for outrowing until 1886. You’ll see foundations of their settlements where they only had carved lava rocks to build their huts and sheds from, using driftwood as rooftops.
They have been declared inviolate but are unfortunately a portion of them are getting slowly shattered from vicious wave breaks during high tide.
'We recently took a 2 hour 4x4 tour and it was fantastic! My husband and I switched who was driving about halfway through so we could each experience the thrill of driving and the ability to sit back and relax. The topography is absolutely stunning, at times I felt like I had been transported to another planet. We went along the coast, through lava fields, on top of cliffs and even to the top of a mountain. They gave us great weatherproof jumpsuits and boots as well as gloves and helmets so that we stayed warm and the guide was incredibly nice, and very willing to take photos for us! I would absolutely recommend taking time to explore on ATV's while visiting Iceland! ''
