Cycle through the wonderful city sites of Reykjavík. This tour should not be missed by those who are looking for an active, immersive and exciting way to explore Iceland's capital city.

Right by the harbour, for example, is Harpa Concert Hall, a feat of modern architecture with some of the best sound engineering in the world. As you move into the downtown area, you'll see the city's humble cathedral beside its parliament, the Alþingi; you might see a protest going on here, as Icelanders love a good demonstration. This is, in fact, the world's longest-running parliament that is ongoing; Icelanders founded in as far back as 930 AD, although in Þingvellir. It moved to Reykjavík in the 1800s. You will then see sites such as Tjörnin, the downtown pond with a lot more history than it seems, and Reykjavík City Hall. The style of architecture of this building is as divisive in Reykjavík as the pyramid of the Louvre is in Paris. You will see the mighty church of Hallgrímskirkja from a distance, the iconic cathedral that sits upon the hill Skólavörðuhæð in central Reykjavík. We recommend you go there after the tour and spend some time going up in the elevator to the viewing platform in the tower.

The steep sea cliff that connects to the beach is none other than Látrabjarg, the westernmost tip of Iceland and the largest bird cliff in Europe. Between April and September, this stunning precipice is teeming with migrating puffins.  Enjoy the views and drinks at the local Café, before either cycling back or, if you’ve had enough exercise for one day, catch a ride back to town with the car, with plenty of time to visit the town’s geothermal swimming pool to end your day perfectly.  Don’t miss out on this scenic cycling tour in the Westfjords of Iceland.

Set off on a cycling adventure around the capital of the Westfjords, Ísafjörður. This tour should not be missed by those who are passionate about nature and like to keep active on their travels. Your excursion begins when you meet your guides, who have your bikes, at the location on your voucher. They’ll provide you with helmets, talk to you briefly about the route and surrounding area, then lead you off on your adventure. The region of the Westfjords is, to many, Iceland’s most beautiful. The mountains are flat-topped and vast, with countless waterfalls leaking from their steep slopes.

Of course, the highlights of the Westfjords are in their name; the fjords themselves. Incredible seascapes can be found in every nook of this region, with glistening bays surrounded by stunning peaks. These waters are often teeming with bountiful wildlife, and thus this is the best place in the country to whale-watch from shore. The journey you will take will reveal to you manmade constructions such as the avalanche barriers that protect Ísafjörður from potential disasters, and natural features such as the Buná river and waterfall. You will ascend a steep slope for the best possible view the area has to offer before you cruise back to the town.

This should not be missed by those who’d like to keep active while seeing Iceland’s most spectacular sites. You’ll start the day when you are picked up from Patreksfjörður, a local town, and whisked to Látrabjarg, a 14 kilometre stretch of cliffs up to 440 metres high, renowned for their birdlife. Upon arrival, you’ll get out of your vehicle and switch to a bike; after a quick briefing, you will set out to explore the cliffs. You will not need to look hard to seek out the birdlife; there are literally millions, nestled in the rocks or circling overhead. While there are a dozen different species, the Atlantic Puffin is the species most sought out and can be found here in abundance. As birds have not been hunted here for generations, the animals are unafraid of people and will let you get rather close without showing discomfort. Even so, ensure you stay a good distance from the edge, for your safety and that of the birds. After enjoying your bike ride, marvelling over the puffins, and taking some pictures that many wildlife photographers would be jealous of, you’ll cycle to the Hnjótur Heritage Museum. Here, you can learn all about the history of the Westfjords. Of particular interest is the story of a shipwreck at Látrabjarg; the stranded sailors would have died at the bottom of the cliffs if Icelandic farmers did not band together to descend on ropes to save them. After this, you will cycle to your final destination of the day, Rauðasandur. This beach is home to tropical-looking golden sands, and stretches for miles; cycling along it, with the gleaming ocean on one side and bird-cliffs on the other, is a joyous experience. Once you have enjoyed this area, you’ll be driven back to Patreksfjörður. This tour is a fantastic combination of birdwatching, sightseeing, culture and exercise. Don’t miss it.
