South East Buggy Tours – Forgotten Airfield Adventure

Get ready for an unforgettable off-road adventure along Iceland’s remote South East coast with South East Buggy Tours.
This guided buggy experience takes you far beyond the beaten path, where few travelers ever go. You’ll drive powerful off-road buggies across rugged terrain, coastal tracks, and dramatic black sand beaches shaped by wind, ocean, and time. One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to a forgotten airfield, hidden in the wild landscape — a fascinating relic from Iceland’s past that adds a unique historical edge to the journey.
Along the route, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, wide open shorelines, and raw, untouched nature that truly captures the spirit of Iceland. This is not a sightseeing bus tour — it’s a hands-on, adrenaline-filled experience where you feel connected to the land with every turn of the wheels.
No previous buggy experience is needed. Before the tour begins, you’ll receive a full safety briefing and clear instructions on how to operate the buggy. An experienced local guide leads the way and shares stories about the area, its history, and its powerful natural forces.
Whether you’re looking for adventure, incredible photo opportunities, or a truly authentic Icelandic experience, this tour delivers excitement, scenery, and a sense of exploration you won’t find anywhere else.
Ride where planes once landed. Explore where few have been.
