Experience The Ultimate Icelandic Adventure Combining Rugged Mountain ATV Riding And Majestic Whale Watching Tours

This comprehensive Icelandic adventure offers a perfect blend of high-octane mountain exploration and serene marine wildlife observation. Starting in the morning, participants are whisked away from the city to the rugged base camp in Úlfarsárdalur. Here, the journey begins with an exhilarating ATV ride across diverse terrains, including black sands and lava fields. The route winds past the picturesque Lake Hafravatn before ascending to the summit of Hafrafell mountain for panoramic views of the capital.

After conquering the mountain trails, the experience shifts from the rugged interior to the tranquil waters of the Atlantic. The afternoon is dedicated to a whale watching excursion, providing a unique perspective of the coastline from the sea. This transition from the dusty mountain tracks to the refreshing ocean breeze highlights the dramatic contrast of the Icelandic landscape. It is an ideal way to witness the natural beauty of the region from two distinct vantage points.

Safety and accessibility are prioritized throughout the day, ensuring that both experienced riders and beginners can enjoy the mountain safari. While a valid driving license is required for those operating the quad bikes, the tour is designed to be family-friendly, allowing children to ride as passengers. The professional guides provide all necessary equipment and instructions, ensuring a seamless transition between the land-based activities and the maritime exploration that follows later in the afternoon.

The tour concludes with a return to the city, leaving participants with lasting memories of Iceland's diverse environment. Whether you are navigating the steep slopes of Hafrafell or scanning the horizon for breaching whales, the day is packed with excitement and discovery. This combination package is available year-round, making it a reliable choice for travelers seeking to maximize their time in Reykjavík by experiencing the very best of the local outdoor culture and wildlife.

I have whale watched in California, Florida, North Carolina, and Alaska USA. They were all absolutely great, a whale watch is never a bad time, but Elding was PHENOMENAL. Every aspect, from booking to docking back was easy and smooth. If you don't see any cetaceans, or you only see one or two, they give you a voucher that is good for two years for you to come back. They then told the most charming story that I will not spoil. You'll have to book yourself and see. Do yourself a favor and buy a hot chocolate with cream.

Everyone was so nice, the crew was interactive knowledgeable and hilarious. We saw Humpbacks and Minke whales. They worked hard to ensure we got to see as much as they could find while still being respectful of the wildlife and their boundaries. But the best part is they send you free downloadable pictures of the animals you saw during your tour, so you don’t have to worry about not catching good pictures. Highly recommend.

What an amazing experience, we booked a Whale watching experience at short notice, following our original provider cancelling and gave the cancellation reason - bad weather, which did not seem to be the case, since Elding were providing a Whale Watching experience and the weather was acceptable. A very professional service was provided and we an amazing experience and had the opportunity to see Humpback & Minke Whales and White Beaked Dolphins, what an amazing experience and definitely definitely recommend. An experience not to be missed.
