Geological wonders and historical locations
Your motorcycle tour starts with a flight to Reykjavik. Upon arrival at your destination airport, you will be taken to your hotel by our partner. There, the tour guides and the BMW Motorrad bikes will already be waiting for you, so that you can do a quick test ride before your adventure really starts on the second day.
Now you can explore the natural beauty of Iceland on the motorcycling tour. On the second day, your route will take you to impressive destinations, such as the Eyjafjallajökull volcano and the Svartifoss waterfall. The Jökulsárlón glacial lake is the highlight of the day, and we have also planned a coffee break in Hella, and a potential lunch break on the black-sand beach of Reynisfjara. A unique riding experience on breathtakingly beautiful roads.
Adventurous off-road tour
The adrenaline kick comes in early on the third day, when you will challenge yourself to conquer the mountainous gravel road, the F208. The Fjallabaki region, with plenty of seismic activity, will take your breath away! Experience the majestic lava fields while riding through the mountainous region of Landmannalaugar. Reward yourself with a refreshing dip in the hot river at a campsite. You will enjoy lunch al fresco, with a view of the stunning landscape. You will get so close to the most active volcano, Hekla, that you will feel that you're right at the heart of it. The "Geysir" attraction and the unusual "Strokkur", which shoots a column of hot water into the air every ten minutes, will cast a spell on you.
On the fourth day, you will continue along the impressive gravel roads of Kjolur and visit the Gullfoss waterfall. Let yourself be fascinated by the active geothermal field of Hveravellir and enjoy the local cuisine in Varmahlid. On your way to the second-largest city, Akureyri, you will visit the port city of Husavik, which is famous for its whales. The day ends with an excursion on the water and an overnight stay at the charming harbour in Akureyri.
Motorcycling tour to majestic waterfalls
On the fifth day, you will have the option to ride on your own or as part of a group. An easy asphalt transit route takes you straight to Godafoss waterfall, which is known as the waterfall of the gods and lovers. After a coffee break, the route will take you further through the valley, past Akureyri and Varmahlid, to the north of the city of Skagafjordur with its characteristic black-sand beach. You will end the afternoon with a relaxing ride to the hotel, so that you can relax and get ready for the excitement that the next day has in store for you.
On the sixth day, you will ride along the F550 and 52 gravel roads with the group to reach the Barnafoss waterfall. Then, you will ride on a seldom used mountain road, which is also referred to as a "beginner's course". You will ride on the Kaldidalur Pass and see a typical rescue station, many of which can be found in secluded areas of the island. A lunch will be provided in the city of Borgarnes on the headland, before you visit Reykjavik again in the evening, where you can enjoy some free time.
Historic Thingvellir
On the seventh day, you will experience the fascinating history of Iceland, while riding to the historically significant location of Thingvellir on a pleasant asphalt road. The feeling of significance that this location exudes may overwhelm you when you imagine that this is where one of the oldest parliaments in the world was created and Iceland's independence was declared. The geologically unique location has constant seismic activity, causing the tectonic plates to collide and form deep fissures.
The national park in which Thingvellir is located is one of the UNESCO wonders that you can explore here. In the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to relax in the hot springs of the SkyLagoon or take a unique tour of the interior of the volcano (Inside the Volcano), before returning to the hotel. The thought of your motorcycling adventure soon coming to an end is sure to put you in a sentimental mood while you begin to make your way back home on the eighth day.
Experiencing the raw beauty of Iceland's landscape by motorcycle is a unique adventure that will leave you with memories that won't be forgotten in a hurry.
