Iceland, Europe’s most sparsely populated country, is a Nordic island of phenomenal natural beauty rising from between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Due to its location on the ridge of a tectonic plate, Iceland experiences significant geologic activity, from its world-famous geysers to volcanic eruptions. In fact, the island’s interior is itself a volcanic plateau, where a landscape of lowlands is interspersed with lava fields, glaciers, mountains, and glacial rivers.

Thousands visit Iceland each year to witness the greatest natural phenomenon on earth - the Northern Lights. One thing is guaranteed - Iceland is a country of spectacular and wild allure that tempts visitors craving an adventure a little out of the ordinary.

  Iceland’s largest city, home to around 36% of the country’s population, is its capital - Reykjavik. Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any sovereign state on Earth, and is believed to have been the first permanent settlement on the island. It remained undeveloped until the 18th century, and even now, is one of the safest and most sustainable cities in the world.

  A bike tour of Reykjavik is guaranteed to be a riveting ride. Witness the awe-inspiring majesty of the Hallgrimskirkja, the stunning geometric architecture of the Harpan, or the fascinating form of the Sun Voyager statue. Those seeking to delve into the Nordic heritage of this incredible island will enjoy a visit to the National Museum of Iceland, whilst the adventurous in spirit can cycle out to Thingvellir National Park, the Blue Lagoon, and Aurora Reykjavik (Northern Lights Centre).

  Beyond Iceland’s thriving capital, spectacular natural landscapes await exploration. Lake Myvatn offers visitors one of the most entrancing natural vistas they’re ever likely to encounter as emerald, turquoise, and snow-edged waters stretch between volcanic slopes seemingly limitlessly towards the horizon. A bike or mountain bike tour here promises an unforgettable adventure, ending in a uniquely rejuvenating swim in the geothermal waters Iceland is so famous for.
