Description

Discover the various natural wonders and fascinating sights of East Iceland in this thrilling e-bike tour from Seydisfjordur. This four-hour adventure takes visitors along a fjord's coast, passing through abandoned farms, hidden waterfalls, and an eye-catching lighthouse. The action begins when an experienced guide meets with you in Seydisfjordur. This friendly guide will give you an overview of the tour, the trail, and the attractions you'll see. They will also be happy to answer any questions about the locations. Before you explore Seydisfjordur, the guide will give you a helmet and an e-bike you'll use for the tour. They will also provide safety tips and reminders for the ride. After equipping yourself with all the safety gear, you'll start biking on gravel and dirt roads. You'll make several stops at various viewpoints and attractions along the way. Considering Seydisfjordur's dynamic landscape, you'll see the stunning backdrop of mountains cascading down to the fjord below. Your first major stop is Vestdalseyri, an old village that was once the site of a whaling operation by Norwegian whalers and merchants in the 19th century. Vestdalseyri is also home to old houses and abandoned farms. You may even find sheep walking in and out of the houses. The area is rich in history, and you can expect your local guide to share stories about the village's colorful past and the people who used to live there. In addition, you'll have some light snacks during your time in Vestdalseyri to keep you powered for the remainder of the tour. After exploring the old village, you'll bike to Vestdalsfossar, home of various natural wonders. Vestdalsfossar's features give justice to its Icelandic name, which means "west valley waterfalls." You'll see a series of cascading waterfalls tumbling over rocky cliffs. You'll also notice the area's rugged terrain and vibrant greenery, which contrast with the tumbling waters. This unique fusion of natural elements presents excellent photo opportunities. In addition, the overlooking views from the fjord will give you breathtaking vistas to enjoy. After spending time at the first waterfall, you'll head to the second one, Arnarfossar. Much like Vestdalsfossar's first waterfall, Arnarfossar offers majestic views that complement the cascade. For the final leg of this e-bike fjords coast tour, you'll head to the Brimnes lighthouse. Located on Seydisfjordur's north shore, Brimnes used to be one of East Iceland's biggest fishing estates for centuries. As for the Brimnes lighthouse, it is one of the most striking elements in Brimnes, mainly because of its colors. The Brimnes lighthouse features a bright orange color for its main body and red for the inner part, making it stand out easily even from afar. After taking enough pictures, you'll ride your e-bike one last time and return to your starting point. Don't miss this chance to experience the beauty of East Iceland on this 4-hour e-bike fjords coast tour from Seydisfjordur. Check availability now by choosing a date.
