What You Need to Know

  • Icelandic weather is extreme and unpredictable. Expect rain, sun, wind, and temperatures between 5–15°C or even below freezing in the highlands. You’ll need gear for every condition.
  • Routes may change due to weather, river levels, or road closures. We’ll adapt in real-time to keep you safe and ensure the best possible experience.
  • This is not a race. We ride at a moderate, group-friendly pace with regular stops for photos, snacks, and sightseeing. It’s about the journey, not the speed.
  • Travel insurance is mandatory, covering off-road motorcycle travel. Check your bank or home policies as many already include this.
  • A valid motorcycle license and insurance recognised in Iceland are required to ride. Roadside recovery cover is also good to have.
