Guided by our expert KC&E guide and an Icelandic counterpart, you’ll gain local insight, hear captivating stories, and savor incredible meals prepared fresh each night.
Ride to iconic locations like Mount Hekla and the painted hills of Landmannalaugar. Stop for lunch at geothermal hotspots and marvel at the region’s natural power. Along the way, you’ll encounter Highland sheep, Icelandic horses, and the untamed beauty of a land that feels almost mythical. Whether on a mountain bike or a gravel bike with large tires, this journey is perfect for adventurers seeking something extraordinary.
A Note About the Ride
This is an adventure biking trip designed to immerse you in Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes and awe-inspiring natural beauty. While the rides are not about speed or racing, they do require a suitable bike for the varied terrain. We recommend either a gravel bike with 47c+ tires or a mountain bike to ensure comfort and stability on the rugged roads.
While in the Highlands, we stay in mountain huts, which are the only accommodations available in this remote region. These huts are rustic dormitory-style, providing the essentials for a comfortable night’s rest. Before after the time in the highlands we stay in nice hotels.
