Overview

This experience combines off-road ATV riding with one of Iceland’s most unique food traditions. Ride through the volcanic landscapes of the Hengill region, crossing historic lava fields and active geothermal areas, before stopping to taste traditional Icelandic rye bread.

What sets this tour apart is how the bread is made. The rúgbrauð is baked in an oven heated entirely by natural geothermal energy, without electricity, using heat from the earth itself. During the stop, you will see geothermal activity up close and learn how this natural heat is used for cooking.

With a choice of 1-hour or 2-hour tours, this experience combines adventure, geology, renewable energy, and local food culture in one tour just outside Reykjavík.
