How to choose

Both tours run through Icelandic Mountain Guides and welcome all fitness levels, but they cover very different terrain. At 105.75 €, the Vík í Mýrdal Black Sand Beach quad safari runs 1h to 2h and puts you directly on the iconic volcanic shoreline backed by the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. At 235.01 €, the buggy safari climbs closer to Mýrdalsjökull itself over 2h, trading raw beach access for glacier-edge terrain and a more powerful vehicle. The 129 € price gap reflects the buggy's larger engine and more technical route. Pick the quad safari for a shorter, beach-focused rush. Go for the buggy if glacial landscapes and a longer, harder-hitting ride are the priority.
