After donning your helmets, overalls, gloves, and other necessary gear, you will receive a brief safety lecture from our knowledgeable guide. Then it’s time to hop on board – solo or with a pal - and begin your journey from the outskirts of Reykjavik up Mt. Hafrafell! The tour guide will pause periodically along the route so that guests can take photos/video shoots or stretch their legs, plus provide insightful commentary about the terrain ahead. A fantastic adventure awaits – join us today for some serious fun in beautiful surroundings! ### Þingvellir National Park Following the thrilling ATV ride, your tour continues to Þingvellir National Park - a remarkable landmark in Iceland's history. It was established over 1000 years ago in 930 AD as the nation's first democratic parliament Alþing. It served as a powerful decision-making center during tough Viking times. In 1930 AD, this majestic national park was officially proclaimed and is now renowned for its fascinating Icelandic landscapes, natural beauty, and captivating lake Thingvallavatn –the largest of its kind! ### Gullfoss Waterfall Gullfoss waterfall, named for its golden hue, is an awe-inspiring sight. At 32 meters high and cascading over two tiers - 11 and 21 meters, respectively – it's easy to see why this magnificent waterfall has become so famous! Hvítá river carries the waters of Langjökull glacier (Iceland’s second largest), creating a breathtaking scene that any visitor can enjoy up close during summertime. During winter, there are still two picturesque spots from which you can admire Gullfoss in all its glory before heading off to your next destination; after all that exploration, you might feel peckish or parched. Don't worry: Gullfoss cafe will have exactly what you need! ### Geysir Geothermal Area End your Golden Circle & ATV Trail Ride tour by visiting the Geysir Geothermal area. Be sure to observe all signs and warnings during your visit in order to preserve nature's beauty for future generations. The main attraction at this destination is undoubtedly Strokkur, the earliest documented geyser in Icelandic history. Strokku is a sight to behold, with consistent eruptions every 6-10 minutes of unpredictable strength. Explore this marvel and other spots filled with crystal-clear water that is almost boiling! You may smell the characteristic geothermal odor, yet it only reinforces how fortunate we are; thanks to our geothermal springs, we generate more energy, allowing us to build hot tubs and pools and greenhouses! ## Inclusions - Golden Circle Tour With ATV Ride Your classic Golden Circle tour includes: ## Good To Know! ## Pickup Info ## FAQs ### What Official Documents Do I Require For The ATV Ride?
