Season: 1st May to 31st October

Begin in Patreksfjordur and cycle to the steel shipwreck Garðar at the bottom of the ship. Learn about the ship’s history and enjoy the surrounding landscape and birdlife. Continue uphill, over Skersfjall mountain, down hairpin curves and be rewarded with an amazing view – definitely a WOW moment!

Rauðasandur is the Westfjords’ most famous beach with its red tinted sand bordered by black cliffs and the blue sea. Rauðasandur’s tranquility, and the local guides knowledge of the best panoramic views, will make for great memories.

You can enjoy a coffee and Icelandic waffles at the French Cafe whilst enjoying the view from their terrace overlooking the sand.

You can choose to either bike back over the hills to Patreksfjordur or take a ride back in our car.
