What to expect

What to expect

Highlights

  • 5 to 15 km (over 1 to 2 hours) of easy routes through a geothermal area and a village.

  • Wide and accessible trails for casual mountain biking.

  • Mud pools bubbling, pine woods, a warm river and a waterfall, all in one ride.

  • Pit stop for ice cream and some food in the village.

Description

GeoTrails is the perfect introduction to Iceland's geothermal landscape and the village of Hveragerði, explored from the saddle of a full suspension eMTB. Our Trailcenter team adapt the route to your pace and fitness, making this trip accessible to all active outdoor people regardless of riding experience. The trails wind through a remarkable geothermal area where mud pools bubble below the surface, warm rivers flow through the valley, and steam rises from the earth. We believe an eMTB is simply the best way to experience this landscape. Go out and ride.

Tour plan

Tour plan

1. Check-in + safety setup (5-15 min)

  • You arrive at our Trailcenter Reykjadalur.

  • Helmet fitted and quick safety briefing.

  • Bike setup and safety check (brakes, tyres, suspension, battery level, assist modes).

  • We recommend the best route for the day based on weather, trail conditions and how long you want to ride.

  • Quick pointers on key turns / landmarks so you feel confident going self-guided.

2. Start riding (straight from the Trailcenter)

  • Roll out from Reykjadalur and into the geothermal landscape around Hveragerði.

  • Expect easy-to-moderate trails with plenty to look at: steaming ground, bubbling mud pools, pine woods, warm river sections and a waterfall (route depending).

3. Choose your distance + pace (make it your ride)

  • Typical distance: 5 - 15 km depending on route choice, pace and stops.

  • Typical total time: 1 - 2 hours on the trail (longer if you take more breaks for photos and viewpoints).

  • This is designed as a relaxed intro ride - ideal if you want a shorter day or you are new to MTB trails.

4. Optional stop

  • Take breaks whenever you want for photos, viewpoints, and to explore - this is self-guided and flexible.

5. Return + finish

  • Follow the recommended loop back to Reykjadalur.

  • Drop the bike at the Trailcenter when you are done - you can finish early or extend the ride within the suggested route options.

    The pre-tour coordination and advice was excellent. It was the perfect tour for a mixed group allowing the guide to split the group along parallel trails by ability.

    the whole team at IceBikeAdventures was great- communications top notch, owners were really nice and gave us some great tips for the rest of our trip in this beautiful country. We had awesome time on this tour! The landscape was out of this world and being away from the crowds for hours and riding into this on bikes... ah, I felt very privileged!

    Friendly authentic people (at Icebike and anywhere else), fantastic countryside (even when the sun is not shining), extremely challenging ride (your own choice which level you want) - no race, but smart and cool guide caring for any individual’s pace and skills. Top quality bikes - Very professional team.

    My Icebike Adventure couldn't have been better. First rate equipment, first rate service, super friendly staff. We got mini geology and nature demos, explored caves, hiked a volcano rim.

    One of the most epic rides you could ask for. We rode the trails from the ice bike HQ and had a wonderful time. The owner is very accommodating and knowledgeable. They allowed us to move our rental day due to poor weather. Highly, highly recommended. Rent a bike and have an adventure.

    The staff are very kind and helpful with routing trails and giving advice on terrain (note- get the e-bike!). They have good quality, well maintained bikes, as well as helmets, gloves, and knee pads to borrow.
