Our journey commences in Reykjavik from where we take a 4 wheel drive through the centre of Iceland, with a short but spectacular walking tour in the rhyolite mountains. On the 3rd day, fabulous straight forward cycling commences in the wild remote interior followed on the next 5 core days with cycling around several massive fjords to Akureyri; followed by the waterfall Godafoss; the wild north coast with whale watching opportunities at Husavik; the great canyon at Asberygi and the River Jokulsa which has created a gorge known as Iceland’s Grand Canyon and features Dettifoss, Europe’s highest and most powerful waterfall; and finally after riding through the cold desert with amazing far reaching vistas we arrive in region around Lake Myvatn where volcanoes abound with active areas of fumeroles and boiling mud pools, the 1984 lavafields (still warm), and the lake scenes which are spectacular. Several short walks including volcano treks.

All cycling and hiking is non-technical with only a few steep climbs – well within the capabilities of any reasonably fit person who has undertaken some regular cycling training in the two months preceding the ride. Previous experience of off-road cycling is unnecessary.

This adventure is a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed. We restrict the number of participants to 12 on this trip, so book early to avoid disappointment on this one! We are one of the few tour companies operating in this area and we have over 40 years’ experience in Iceland.
