Off-road motorcycling through the heart of ICELAND – Part One – Ride With Locals The Girl On A Bike
Off-road motorcycling through the heart of ICELAND – Part One – Ride With Locals The Girl On A Bike
Follow my off-road adv motorcycle adventure in Iceland with this travel documentary style video. I was lucky enough to explore the heart of Iceland on a motorcycle with RideWithLocals. Riding the Husqvarna 701 enduro adventure motorcycle we travelled 200-240 kilometres each day off-road.
Iceland offers motorcycle riding experiences like nowhere else on Earth and I hope this video will help you see why! Footage is from my GoPro, Mavic Air2 drone and iphone.
Over 2.5 million tourists visit Iceland each year to see the big sights. Hot spas, waterfalls, glaciers, geysers, tectonic plates and lava fields. They pack into coaches or hire cars. But riding here with RideWithLocals on off-road bikes changes your perspective. We can discover the must-see spots from the less trodden tracks, skipping the crowds, and seeing things most tourists might only glimpse from the plane window. We rode up close to Hekla, slept below the Myrdalsjokull Glacier, recharged in an abandoned spa, explored huge craters without a soul in sight, picked across lava fields, crossed valley basins and crested mountains, riding volcanic ash berms. It was riding heaven combined with cultural and geological discovery: A trip only motorcycles can make possible.
We did the trip with RideWithLocals, the only Icelandic enduro company and based just a 2h 45min flight from the UK. A fully-inclusive motorcycle Iceland trip on Husqvarna 701s with a support vehicle, fuel, food, mountain hut accommodation, trail snacks, beer and all the local gen from the Vikings running it. We had six days riding, covered roughly 1400km doing 9 to 11- hour riding days and got to see the real Iceland – which is unseen by most tourists. Expect to pay around €4400 per person. www.ridewithlocals.is

Loving the drone shots, very jelous… Well done
One of the best videos I have ever seen!
19:00 There no bloody way I’d do that incase something slipped and you n the bike ended up in the drink.
Kool 👍
I’ve been to Iceland 🇮🇸 as a tourist but I need to do this when I go again
I LOVE girls who ride 😊
I do really miss riding but there’s no chance I’ll ever be able to again unless someone launches and catches me. The joys of hitting a lamppost and a road sign which ripped my leg off up to the groin. I can’t even wear a prosthetic as my pelvis is shattered. I also ended up loosing 30mm off my other leg as it was so badly damaged. I was VERY lucky that I managed to keep it as it was touch and go.
There’s loads of other bits that happened to me, like my groin being ripped open, shattered pelvis, internal bleeding, collapsed lung, brain injury aaaaaand the list goes on. But this was a while ago mind.
I used to be an electrician because it’s all I’ve ever done, apart from gigging which I really enjoyed doing along with my job. You have no idea how shit my life is with me still not being able to find work. Loosing all of my friends and half of my family. Not being able to walk because I need a very specific specialised operation. Suffering from crippling unbearable agonising pain for years on end and hating my life because of it.
Even though I love riding because it’s in my blood. I really wish I’d of NEVER of gotten another bike because it really wasn’t worth it in the end. It’s completely fucked my life up and turned it into absolute shit!! 😡🤬
FML
I should of listened to my nan
Every biker’s knows what might happen so you take precautions. But no matter how many precautions you take, a lamppost will always win against a leg. I don’t even know what happened and it’s the not knowing that kills you. But I just wished I’d of just bleed out on the scene because I’d of died doing something I loved 😍🥰
I’m sorry for the short story. But I thought I’d just tell other random biker’s, that all 😔
I hope my daughter can live an adventurous life like yours when she grows up (just 6) It’s great to see a woman getting out there and enjoying the adventures of life on a motorbike.
Would Love to experience that trip !
Very nice scenery
well, that put me off of ever visiting Iceland, may as well rode around Wales, Scotland and Cornwall and then Tierra Del Fuego in the Winter.
🤩✌
Awesome
Beer and motorcycles? Not a good combination as far as I’m concerned!
Amazing expedition. The only way to explore the island. You’re an inspiration to women.
What a Experienced Great Adventure 👊🏾👊🏾
Hi! I lived in Iceland for 20 years. With a Suzuki DR 750 Big. Would like to go back for a ride. Can you give me the contact to the guys you rode with?
This looked amazing! I hope you had fun I wish I could do that!
Hi beautiful very good video
Well … add another place to the list of places I want to ride I’ll probably never be able to ride …. LoL …. Nice vid 😉
From the thumbnail I thought this was a mod for Death Stranding.
Ok, you convinced me. I am going!
You like tour in INDONESIA
Pool needs a clean 🤣
What a dream!
Where was the motorcycle riding part all I saw was a "girl with a selfie stick" 👎👎
I’ve been to Iceland 3 times, but never on a motorbike. It’s on my bucket list!
We need more gals like you to ride and have fun on the trails.. Would be so much better!
Wow 🤩
In 11:10 .22:36 you are driving off-road and violating Icelandic laws in a bad way the fines for this is thousand of dollars
£4.5k for a 6 dayer 😳

Wow amazing you are 👍
Tectonic plates collided with your mascara by the looks of it
I went to Iceland in 2005 to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary – but nothing like you guys. One day I’d like to return – and do what you guys have just done and hopefully are still doing.
