6-Day Motorcycle Tour (4 day ride) Geysir, Glaciers & Volcanos
Intermediate - Advanced - Off-Road
Riding Level:
An extended version of our 5 day Geysir, Glacier, Volcanos trip with one additional day. This trip takes us further East on the deserted volcanic mountain ranges of the South East.
An extreme adventure tour across the South-Central to South-Eastern Highlands. This tour takes the road less travelled to some of Iceland’s most famous sights and beyond. We take extreme highland routes and tracks past Geysir, geothermal pools, volcanos and some of Iceland’s most beautiful waterfalls. You will get close to Iceland’s largest glaciers, the monochrome lava desert landscapes and luscious valleys on the south shore and into the glacier regions to the East. One of the highlights is a visit the Tolkien like landscapes of Lakagígar, which were formed by the world’s largest eruption in historical times. The 20 miles long fissure created an ash cloud that blackened the sky in both London and Moscow in the years 1783-4.
