NAME CIRCUIT

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

    Riding abilities

    Am I good enough to join this tour?

    First of all, you don’t need to be a hard-core off-road/rally expert to join our tours. We have different levels and our Iceland tour is a level 2 tour (out of five). You’ll need some experience with travelling and with riding on gravel and preferably have joined a (two) day off-road course. The days can be long, depending on many factors, so you have to be comfortable in most situations in order not to suffer fatigue to quickly.

    The pace is relaxed; it’s not a competition. We are traveling and will take a break frequently. There will be time enough to take pictures, movies, rest etc. On this tour we’ll have a resting days (optional) to enjoy all the local cultural highlights and to refuel energy. We do want to emphasize that for our off-road tours that you need to be healthy and in a good physical condition. The riding, in combination with the weather can make it challenging en strenuous.

    WHAT TO BRING ?

    Some weeks before shipping your motorcycle we will send a separate instruction and packing list. Especially those who will ride with their own motorcycle need to bring some extra equipment (spare-parts etc.), which they can transport on the bike in the sea-container. Next, you’ll find a list with the most important items.

    1Shipping your own motorcycle by sea-container.
    We will send you a separate instruction when shipping your own motorbike to Iceland. It needs some forms to be filled in, but when the red tape is done, it’s just a matter of handing in your precious one in the harbour. On Iceland we will take care of it and pick your bike up in the harbour!
    2Documents
    • PASSPORT valid for 6 months upon arrival. Please check Visa requirements for your country of origin, prior to travel.
    • DRIVER'S LICENSE (Must be in English with a photo). Alternatively an accompanying official.
    • INTERNATIONAL DRIVERS LICENSE. Not mandatory, check your foreign department.
    • MEDICAL AND TRAVEL INSURANCE DETAILS (including helicopter medevac). Bring the contact info and policy number of your insurance.
    • there are ATM’s in most of the small towns and at gas stations. Payment with card almost everywhere (Visa/Master).
    • CASH You can withdraw cash (Icelandic Kroner) already on the airport.
    • VISA: For EU-members not needed. Non-EU: please check with your Foreign Affair Authorities.
    3Gear / Clothes
    • Sleeping bag (and inflatable pillow) Please bring a sleeping bag and pillow for the nights in cabins. The cabins are heated, so a thick 4-season sleeping bag is not needed, a 2-season will do.
    • Waterproof soft-bag. You’ll leave your big hard suit-case in the storage at KEX and bring a soft-bag (like 60 litre) for bringing your personal clothes during the tour. It might be transported on the roof-rack or trailer, so that’s why it needs to be water-proof.
    • Protective riding gear (suit, helmet, gloves, etc.). The temperature can fluctuate between 5 Celsius and 25 C° (that’s a heat wave in Iceland!). Prepare for cold and wet weather.
    • Boots. Bring hard (enduro)boots with ankle protection. It will safe your leg/ankle! (and your holiday). In combination with Sealskinz socks (see below) this works very well to keep your feet dry and warm.
    • Warm/long woollen socks. Sealskinz socks are waterproof. Woollen socks keep your feet warm. Crossing rivers will make your boots wet. Changing socks often (in combination with a plastic bag) will do the trick and keep your feet warm.
    • Rain gear /rain jacket. Staying dry is key to keep your body temperature stable. Gore-Tex gear is recommended.
    • Warm/woollen underwear. Merino is great material to keep you warm when cold and cooler when hot (and it doesn’t smell bad after some days using!)
    • Casual wear for evenings in the cabins and non-riding days. You don’t need much as we’re staying mostly up in cabins in the Highlands.
    • Warm fleece and woollen beanie. Dress in layers, when riding and after during those cooler days/evenings.
    • Camelbags/Hydration back-pack. Necessary very handy to prevent dehydration (even when it’s cold). Highly recommended!
    • Camera. These magnificent views you want to capture!
    • Headlight (like Petzl). Some of the cabins have no electricity.
    • Power pack. Electricity is not always 24/7 available in the cabins so bring a battery pack as a back-up for charging you electronic equipment/phone. We can charge also in the car.
    • Travel towel. Please bring a quick drying travel towel
    • Swimming trousers/bathing suit You don’t want to miss having a beer in the hot-springs!
    • Tank- or small (waterproof)tail-bag (when renting a bike). If you’d like to bring some stuff on your bike (camera, rain-gear), please bring a small bag which you can strap on the back, or you can bring your own small tankbag.
    • ROK-straps/bungee cords. If you’d like to strap something on the back of your bike, please bring (16 mm) ROK-straps. They are the best!
    • Your spirit for adventure!

    GENERAL USEFUL INFORMATION

    Iceland is a Nordic island country between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. It has a population of 332.529 and an area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi), giving the island the lowest population density of any country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Reykjavík. Reykjavík and the surrounding areas in the southwest of the country are home to over two-thirds of the population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle.
    UTC/GMT +0
    In Iceland they say: “Bad weather? Just wait 5 minutes!” Weather conditions can change swiftly on Iceland and it can be cold, rainy and windy or warm and sunny and everything in between, and all in one day! The average temperature in the summer is around 12 C. Good (rain)gear is essential for keeping you dry & warm, so you can still have fun while riding even though the weather is not that good
    Icelandic Kroner (ISK)
    The value is 1000 ISK = 65 SEK / 6,17 € / 7,2 US$ (Sept 2020)
    There are cash machines at the airport, in towns and gasoline stations available where you can withdraw Icelandic Kroners.
    We will create a kitty, a common wallet, where we pay food and drinks from, which we bring with us in the support vehicle. We have to do grocery shopping several times during the tour (be aware that Iceland is one of the most expensive countries when it comes to food and alcohol).
    We will stay mainly in cabins when up in the Highlands, far away from the touristy ring road and often on amazingly beautiful places. Some of them are very basic and have no electricity (power pack!). A hot shower is available in all of them, but sometimes it costs money, as they bring up the gas with trucks. Some have a hot-spring or hot-tub J. Sleeping is either on matrasses on the loft, or in bunk beds, so bring a set of ear-plugs. We’ll bring our own food and drinks, there are no restaurants up in the Highlands, and cook for ourselves. Your help is highly appreciated and contributes to the team spirit!
    Water in Iceland is very clean and safe to drink. It’s actually one of the cleanest in the world. You can even drink from clear-water rivers and streams!
    In Iceland the power sockets are of type F. The standard voltage is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz. Again: not all cabins/huts do have electricity.
    Wi-Fi is available in the hotels and guesthouses, but not in the cabins up in the Highlands.
    To call/roam from Iceland can be expensive. Bring an extra phone and buy a pre-paid sim-card (including internet) for € 20 to call, send a message or use internet (3/4 G almost all over the island).
    In Iceland the traffic is on the right-hand side and very organized. Especially in the Highlands you will not see many cars. The risk hitting a sheep is so much higher.
    Keep an eye out for the designated speed limit as these may vary depending on road conditions and law enforcement does take place next to the road.
    You should bring a valid driver’s license issued in your own country.
    Fuel is not included in the tour price and we will refuel with the whole group at gas stations. We’ll bring an extra jerry can with fuel for emergency reason when up in the Highlands.

    MEDICAL / VACCINATIONS

    Besides standard vaccinations no special vaccinations are needed.Please contact your local health authority for which vaccinations are needed/mandatory. This varies per country.

    • Medicines. Don’t forget your personal medicines
