About the Seyðisfjörður e-bike tour

Seyðisfjörður is a narrow fjord in East Iceland surrounded by steep mountains, and this e-bike tour is a good way to get into terrain you would not easily reach on foot in the same time. You ride an electric mountain bike, which takes most of the effort out of the climbs, while a local guide leads you along the fjord to waterfalls that are hidden from the road.

The tour is tailored to the group, so the exact route can vary depending on conditions and what riders want to see, from higher mountain tracks to a gentler ride along the coast with stops at viewpoints. A helmet and the e-bike are provided, and you get a light snack partway through.

East Iceland's weather can change quickly, and the terrain includes gravel tracks and some steeper sections, so a reasonable level of fitness and comfort on a bike helps. Layers and a rain jacket are worth bringing even on a clear morning.
