Family Buggy Experience in South Iceland

Share the adventure in one of our four-seater buggies, built for families and small groups. The tour starts at our base at the foot of Mýrdalsjökull, where you gear up and get a full safety briefing before heading out.

From the base you drive across black volcanic sand and river plains, splashing through shallow streams on the way to the famous DC-3 plane wreck on Sólheimasandur. On clear days the ice cap of Mýrdalsjökull stands out above the dark sand; when the clouds are low, it can be hidden from view.

The buggies have a protective roll cage and a seatbelt for every passenger, which many families and older travellers find reassuring. Children from 6 years old can join, and we have seat cushions so younger riders sit securely.

Good to know: The buggy route crosses the sand plains below Mýrdalsjökull and does not go onto the glacier. Whether the ice cap is visible depends on the weather on the day.

Note: A valid driver's licence is required to drive the buggy. Pricing is per vehicle. If your group isn't a multiple of four and one or two people are left without seats, you can book a 2-seater buggy for them.
