Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled buggy ride from Mýrdalsjökull Base. After a safety briefing, you head out across black volcanic sand and river plains, splashing through small streams to the beach formed by the volcano Katla. You stop at the famous DC-3 plane wreck on Sólheimasandur, where on clear days you can look up to the ice caps of Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull and along the coast to the sea arch at Dyrhólaey, before heading back to base along the mountains. Good to know: The buggy route crosses the sand plains below the glaciers and does not go onto the ice. Perfect for thrill-seekers, this tour promises a unique ride. Whether you’re a couple, friends, or a solo traveler seeking excitement, all you need is a driver’s license and a passion for adventure.
