A buggy tour is an adventure of a lifetime. On a tour, you’ll spin your all-terrain vehicle—or buggy—across Iceland’s rugged landscape. It’s a test of your off-road driving skills and a thrilling way to get off the beaten tourist track at the same time.
Buggies are powerful and versatile vehicles that are equipped to provide you with the safest off-road experiences. For example, with a roll cage and double-A arm suspension, you’ll be secure no matter what terrain you tackle.

A buggy was originally the name for a carriage. For example, in eighteenth-century London, the upper classes often went around in a two-seater “buggy” pulled by a horse. That word is now used for many different vehicles—including our all-terrain vehicles and babies’ pushchairs.
Really, though, it’s just another name for an ATV or off-road vehicle.
You need a full valid driving licence to drive a buggy in Iceland. Unfortunately, provisional licences, motorbike licences, or licences specific to particular types of vehicle are not sufficient. You also need to be at least 17 years of age. These are rules set by Icelandic law.
