Iceland fills its good slots early, and the short winter days make that worse. Start with these 7 jeep safaris: live prices, group sizes, and the pickup arrangement that quietly decides how much morning you lose.
Húsavík RIB safari to Puffin Island and Skjálfandi Bay, with warm overalls, expert English commentary, and strong odds for big whales.
“The tour guide was great. I would certainly recommend going with the speed boat as when a whale came up we were able to get to it quickly. We saw Humpback whales and were lucky to see a Fun whale too”

“Well organized & professional. Give & Captain excellent. Only downside was not being able to get close pictures of Puffins, otherwise, really great. Saw many whales.”
Quad up to Reykjavik Peak for summit views, Lake Hafravatn scenery, and included safety gear, with hotel pickup and a guided convoy.
“My friend and I had the best time ever with Safari Quads ATV! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The tour guides were incredible—super friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You could tell they love sharing this adventure with others, and that energy made the entire tour even more enjoyable. Before we set off, they took the time to make sure everyone felt safe and confident, giving a thorough but easy-to-understand briefing. It didn’t matter if you were a beginner or had previous experience—the guides made sure everyone felt comfortable. The ride itself was an absolute thrill! We got to explore some of the most…”
Reykjavik Buggy Safari at Hafravatn: 1 hour off-road on automatic 4x4 buggies with hotel transfers, safety gear, and coffee.
“The Buggy was perfect easy to drive, get into and super fun. The staff was helpful with getting me in all the gear. Loved the entire experience.”
1-hour East Iceland RIB safari from Bakkagerði to spot puffins, seals, and sometimes whales, with a small group and fast, close-up views.
“This Puffin Zodiac Tour was AMAZING! Our guides were extremely kinda, funny, and knowledgeable about Bakkageri and the Borgarfjörður eystri area (their parents grew up there!) After taking an exciting zodiac ride to the cliffs on the sea to view many species of nesting birds, we took a ride along the harbor to see seals and a waterfall. We even had BONUS whale watching time to view a large humpback whale breaching MULTIPLE times!! We got up close and personal and it was incredible. This tour is a must.”
A 2-hour guided ATV safari around Lake Mývatn, mixing offroad fun with short stops for nature and history, plus safety gear.
“L'attività è stata tra le più divertenti fatte finora. La guida è estremamente gentile, divertente e preparata. Il briefing è stato semplice e molto chiaro. Durante le tappe del tour ci ha descritto il territorio circostante visibile dai punti panoramici. Assolutamente consigliato!!!”
