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

You and your gang have motivated me to get my license, finally. My daughters prefer watching this than the crap pumped out on UK TV. Thank you for this adventure. Ride on gal, we got one life...
Yey!! That's so cool! I love that!!
@@TheGirlOnABike by the way if you know any reputable crash course providers (training and licence over a 1 - 2 week period) let me know. I have found one company in Manchester, but would to know of others rom an expert. Cheers and all the best.
@@Harrym207 ah I'm sorry that makes me feel old. I did my test 13 years ago [didn't have a bike then until post accident but just got my licence for fun] so it's been a while since I've done that. I did a 4 day course near Portsmouth but I actually think the test process has changed since then too. lol. Showing my age! haha Sorry that is such a unhelpful reply!
@@TheGirlOnABike haha age is just a number. I'm 43, in the military 20 years ago i played with Harley Davidson 500 cc cross country, but i never showed interest to take the licence back then. Anyway, all the best to you and your closest. keep up with the good videos. Bye bye!
I adore Iceland... if I thought I’d cope with the dark winters, I’d move there in a heartbeat. People, scenery and hospitality are all just marvellous! Inspired by your trip!
I know what you mean! A blink of light in winter must be so toughto cope with. I love the sun hehe
Arent the immigration laws really strict in Iceland?
@@Neonator08 AS THEY SHOULD BE - WISH UK WAS THE SAME , EVERY 3rd WORLD REJECT GETS IN HERE
@@SAXONWARLORD1000AD Oh i wasn't being racist like that. i just think its hard for anyone to get in there. I'm a Canadian born and bred and I doubt I'd get permanent status in Iceland either. Too bad as I'd definitely buy a summer home there :D
@@Neonator08 good question, I have no idea
This is Death Stranding IRL
My thoughts too. I think Hideo must have got a lot of inspiration for the landscape from Iceland.
Oh yeah!! Good point
@@DarthScosha I believe it was mentioned, it’s absolutely beautiful
Thumbnail had me thinking that.
same
Motorcycling in Iceland is actually on my bucket list
Really cool to actually see it
Yey! You'll absolutely love it dude!!
from what ive been told it very cool, like freezing cold cool,
This film gave me that immersive feeling I love from watching a good documentary. Thank you 😊
Wow thank you. That's a wonderful reaction ❤️
Wow! What an amazing trip. I so have to go to Iceland, yours and ItchyBoots’s trip earlier in the year looked to have been incredible
It's like not where else I've very seen or heard of! You'll love it dude 💖
I've been to Iceland 3 times, but never on a motorbike. It's on my bucket list!
You'll love it! One magical way to see the place
Thank you for letting us tag along on this fantastic adventure across such a beautiful place!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching, make sure you subscribe so you don't miss part two! It's coming soon!
Soundtrack, scenery, editing, WOW, What an amazing and inspiring video, well done!! Thank you for sharing, can't wait for part 2...Iceland bucket list added!! Stay safe!! 👍👍
Thank you very much! I love that you enjoyed it! Gosh I would go back tomorrow if I could [although December might be a bit dark and cold hehe] Thanks for watching
This is one of the best videos I've seen from Icland on a motorcycle. Looking forward to part two. .Amazing
Wow, thanks! That's so cool to hear! Thank you
These are moments where I am happy that this is my country!
yey!! You live in a beautiful place!
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.
My daughter is 4, I like to think we could do stuff together some day, if she’s interested that is. Even some travelling off the bike would be nice. Never gave myself the chance when I was younger
Great video 👍
Loved Iceland can't wait to go back one day and definitely on a motorbike for the ultimate experience 👍😁
Yeah!!! I so agree. I'd jump on it tomorrow if I could hehe best bike trip I've ever done hands down. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment dude 💖
It looks amazing! I'm looking forward to watching part 2 now.
Oh yey!! That's awesome. Thanks so much for watching! Part two awaits 👏🏼
Cool trip. Still on my bucket list.
I loved Iceland. The natural scenery is simply breath-taking; the vast ice plains, glaciers, huge and I mean huge waterfalls. Never seen anything like it in my life.
I so agree! I was going wow around every corner hehe ❤️
Went to Iceland and few years back and rented a 4x4 to explore since then I've always wanted to go back on two wheels!
Wow I bet that was awesome too! There is something pretty magical about doing it on a bike. I'd go back tomorrow if I could!
Same here brother
And expensive 😯
Very well done, was looking forward to this video - brings back all the memories we had. Can't wait for part 2 and sorry for the yellow jacket ;)
Haha yey! Good memories dude! Haha the yellow jacket 👏🏼💪🏼 hopefully part two will be this side of Christmas!
Wow, really awesome scenes, thank you for sharing your adventure with us, keep on riding 👍 👍 👍
Aw yey. Thank you. So appreciate you taking the time to comment. Really happy to hear you enjoyed it
.....when beauty of the nature comes along with your beauty the result is AWSOME
aw hehe thank you! Iceland is the big beauty! hehe
You're living the best life. Keep it up
As opposed to what? U only get one life so u cant compare it to anything, that statement is so dumb...
@Beserker Of Odin yeh but the whole "living your best life" line is what irks me, as the life you are living 'is' the best life and only life, u cant say im living my worst life. If you lived twice and the first one was shit THEN you can say you are living your best life, im going crosseyed thinking about it

Thanks dude. It's taken a horrid journey to get me here with the accident but I'm doing my best! See my channel for what I mean about the accident. It was pretty life changing. I'm determined to make the most of what I have now and lead the best life
@@NaturalSeaWave there is only one true lord. Raptor Jesus.

After being limited to riding a cbr600 in London for 2 years that does seem like so much fun, a very beautiful experience
I hear you! Lock-down has been long hey. It's definitely a save up and plan trip but so worth it.

I can understand that. I think it's my top too! I'd go back tomorrow if I could. Such a wonderful place ❤️
What a fantastic place to experience and ride, thanks for showing us. It’s great to see you so genuinely into enduro bikes, more girls should try it and experience the fun 👍😀
Thanks John. I so so agree! I don't understand why more don't as it's SOO fun hehe
wow, this is just amazing. I was there in 2018 and spent 3 days and it was an absolutely incredible experience. Wish I could go back for at least a week or 10 days to explore the landscapes a bit more and feel the true essence of what Iceland is all about.
I know what you mean. It's the sort of place where you could have 3 months and still not see it all. Wonderful country ❤😘
Thank you this was fantastic....

Nice scenery! Thank you for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it, it really was incredible to ride there
Came here on a school trip in 2019 and I've been dying to go back ever since. A huge solo ride around the island and then straight across is the goal.
Nice! Sounds epic. Make sure you have good comms if you're out there solo. It's an unforgiving place! You might enjoy my other video on 15 things to know about motorcycling in Iceland

Wow! That's a great video. The scenery around the lake is so beautiful. The vast unpaved road excites my mind. The stream of the crater rising into the sky gives me energy. Especially, the scene of the waterfall is the best moment in the video. Your swimsuit at the spa looks like a scene from a movie. I'm glad to be a friend of your great channel.

Always wanted to go to Iceland.... those views, no wonder you have a permagrin the whole time!!! Great vid!
Cheers from Montana, US.
Permagin! haha I love that
Hi, I like your video, and I am glad you have enjoyed your stay in my country. So here are some facts, Hekla hasn't erupted since the year 2000. On 14 April 2010, Eyjafjallajökull resumed erupting after a brief pause. It was so huge that it threw volcanic ash several kilometers up in the atmosphere, which led to air travel disruption in northwest Europe for six days from 15 to 21 April 2010 and again in May 2010.
Wow that's mega, thanks for the info Petur. You have an incredible country. I feel so lucky to have been able to experience it
I know someone who did this exact trip a few years back, they flew there and the group hired bikes, they said never again, they were cold and wet every day for 10 days, and it got harder every morning to get on the bike and when each day was over they sat in a hot tub for 3 hours,
Just incredible.
LOVE LIFE!!!!! ❤️
it really was epic
The best tour ever ❤️
Yey thank you. I agree that Iceland is the best too
Great vid!! And tectonic talk!!!!! First see, looking forward to more, keep up the great work.
Aw thank you. So happy you enjoyed
Ah I miss Iceland sooo baaaad! Did 10 days in a 4x4 camper and had an amazing time but looks so cool travelling around on the bikes. Great vid
