Biking Tours

The best time to take a biking tour in Iceland is during the late spring to early fall months. Winter will see the roads covered with a blanket of snow and possible snowstorms. Whereas come summer, the roads are clear and the weather is more favorable for cycling.

For your biking tour in Iceland, it is advised that you bring with you a mixture of clothing to suit the day’s activities, including insulating layers, wind- and rain-proof layers, and a moisture-wicking base layer. Traditional lycra wear and padded pants are an excellent recommendation, as are sturdy shoes and sunglasses.

For your bike adventure in Iceland, make sure to bring bottled water, light and energy-driven snacks, your camera, and of course, a thirst for adventure. For longer biking tours, you’ll need to bring 1-2 days' worth of food and camping gear.

Cycling tours in Reykjavik City Centre will show you the main attractions in the city.
