Respect
Iceland boasts thousands of kilometers of off-road trails, all accessible under strict regulations. Violations are rigorously enforced and can result in hefty fines.
Ride Xpower has developed its off-road tracks over the past 10 years and continuously adapts to changes and new regulations. This ensures smooth tour operations and guarantees our continued welcome in Iceland. We maintain friendly relationships with landowners and farmers.
Driving independently in Iceland is a matter of respecting Icelanders and their efforts to preserve their unique culture.
responsibility
Iceland's unique vegetation regenerates very slowly due to the cool climate and long winters; damage to vegetation outside designated off-road routes takes years to heal. Everyone is urged to be aware of this and take responsibility.
