The electric bike tour begins at Nautholsvik Geothermal Beach in Reykjavik. This beach features a geothermal lagoon and golden sand, a rare sight in Iceland.
At the starting point, you’ll meet the guide for a short introduction and e-bike setup before setting off. The paths are mostly flat and well-maintained, so this is a beginner-friendly ride.
As the ride begins, open views across the bay and the quiet coastal setting make it easy to settle into the journey. A steady sea breeze and wide coastal views set the tone for the ride.
The route then leads into Fossvogsdalur, a quiet valley with smooth cycling paths and wide green spaces. The relaxed pace allows time to notice small streams, open fields, and tree-lined trails that offer a break from the busy city.
From there, the route continues into Ellidaardalur, one of the largest green areas in Reykjavik and a place often overlooked by travelers. The path follows a clear river past small waterfalls, lava rock formations, and forested trails. This area is known for its salmon river, rich plant life, and one of the city’s few wooded landscapes shaped by ancient lava flows.
The ride finishes back at Nautholsvik Geothermal Beach, completing the loop. In just one hour, the route covers a wide part of Reykjavik’s natural landscapes without leaving the city. This final stop gives time to slow down, take in the ocean views, and enjoy a calm ending before the tour ends.
