Description

Explore the spectacular landscape around the Snaefellsnes peninsula on an e-mountain bike when you book this exciting day tour, for just up to four people. Those eager to embark on a new adventure in Iceland's beautiful scenery while getting active should book this group tour now.

On this small group e-mountain bike tour, you'll get the opportunity to get to know Iceland from a unique perspective. Experience the country's natural beauty on two wheels.

Your adventure will start by meeting your guide at the e-mountain bike base camp, located just outside of Stykkisholmur, a small fishing town on the north coast of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. 

This settlement is home to picturesque scenery, historic Icelandic houses, and plenty of local folklore, typical for the area.

Here, your guide will give you a safety briefing. Your guide will also give you your helmet and the other safety equipment you'll need for the ride. 

Your guide will then teach you how to operate your bike – don't worry, it's easy! Electric mountain bikes are great for exploring different terrain.

They provide additional power during pedaling (useful when going uphill!), and you still get all the thrills that you'd expect from everyday mountain biking.

Then it's time for you to set off. The fitness levels of the group will determine the pace of the ride. However, you'll need to be moderately fit to embark so that everyone can get their adrenalin pumping.

On the route, you'll explore the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Snaefellsnes is a long peninsula that is home to a spectacular volcano and a glacier named Snaefellsjokull. 

This area is often called "Iceland in a nutshell" because it's got it all! You'll find examples of all the natural features Iceland is known for, including fantastic mountains, black beaches, long white sand beaches, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and lava fields.

There are also tranquil fishing hamlets, villages, and towns along the peninsula, not to mention stunning views of the rugged coastline.

During the small-group tour, you'll ride through the fantastic Berserkjahraun, a 4,000-year-old lava field full of peaks and craters for you to explore. The area is located between the towns of Stykkisholmur and Grundarfjordur.

You'll have plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the incredible views and take some photographs during the ride. You'll want to remember your ride for years to come!

Don't miss this exciting e-mountain biking experience in the stunning Snaefellsnes peninsula, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. Check availability now by choosing a date.
