Description

Begin your tour at the golden-sand beach of Nauthólsvík. Breathe in the fresh sea air and take in views over the bay. Get ready, check your bike, and set off on your ride. Cruise into Fossvogsdalur, a peaceful valley between Reykjavík and Kópavogur. With soft paths, tall trees, and small streams, this is a quiet place where you can breathe deeply and enjoy the beauty of nature. Take it easy here – no rush, just rhythm. Next, reach Elliðaárdalur – one of Reykjavík’s best-kept secrets. Ride along the river, past little waterfalls, lava rocks, and forests. It feels like you’ve left the city far behind, even though you’re still in town. This is the perfect place to stop, take photos, and feel the power of Icelandic nature. Finish where you started, back at the beach in Nauthólsvík. Take a moment to relax, dip your toes in the sea (if you’re brave!), or enjoy a warm drink and chat with the group.
