We will cycle on mountain bikes from our office at Reykjahlíð village towards the geothermal area of Bjarnaflag. There we will see where our local bread “Geyser Bread” is baked in steam holes in the geothermal ground. From there we continue past the first geothermal power generator in Iceland. We then cycle to a Cave where the locals used to steambath in the old days. Then we visit the Mývatn nature baths and taste the local Geyser bread with smoked “Arctic Charr” and then we go bathe in the lagoon for about one hour. We cycle back to our office at around 8:45pm and are back to our office at 9pm. Entry to the baths and Geyser bread included.
Bring Swimsuits & towels with you or rent some at the Nature baths.

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. Though there are a few small elevations, it is generally a comfortable journey. There will be several stops for you to capture memorable moments and appreciate the beautiful landscape.
