About this experience

Do you want exclusivity and remain away from the crowds? I would book this one myself.

A Westman Islands Exclusive Customizable Drive-Around in a hybrid-powered BMW is a terrific opportunity to take in some of the stunning scenery of the Westman Islands while also being environmentally friendly. The doorstep pickup in a BMW X5 Model M and the breathtaking and priceless views are included in this 2-hour outing or as Icelanders call it: bíltúr. We are going to be stopping as desired in order for you to take pictures, buy souvenirs or hike the Eldfell, whatever you see fit doing in these 2 hours to enjoy the southern-most municipality in Iceland. The choice is yours!

Do not know what exactly do you want to do? Do not worry! We can guide you!
