Bike Tour on the East Fjords of Iceland
Pedal through dramatic fjord scenery, discover a remote Icelandic village, and reach a stunning black beach on two wheels.
This East Iceland bike tour takes you on a guided 10-kilometer cycling route through the historic village of Djupivogur, out to a volcanic black beach, and up to a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the surrounding fjords. Riders of a basic to moderate fitness level will find this tour well within reach, with gentle uphills and the option to walk sections of the route.
Djupivogur is one of the oldest trading posts in Iceland, and cycling through its compact streets offers a perspective that larger tour buses simply cannot match. Your guide shares local history, points out cultural landmarks, and keeps the group moving at a comfortable pace throughout the circuit.
