This biking excursion is a top-rated Mountain Bike journey in the northern part of Iceland. The adventure starts in the evening when you mount your bike and start exploring. During your ride, you’ll pause at a local ‘underground bakery’, known for its famed Geysir bread. Your journey then leads you past Iceland’s first steam generator and takes you to an old steam bath, and then to ancient bathing caves near Grjótagjá cave. Once you’re done exploring the cave, you’ll visit the Mývatn Nature Baths for an hour of leisure in the warm waters and natural steam baths. When you’re rested and re-energized, you’ll get back on your bike to return.
Either bring your own bathing suit and towel, or hire them from the Mývatn Nature Baths. The majority of the cycling part of this trip is on a gravel road.
