Things to Consider: 

Going to Iceland is incredibly expensive as every single thing has to be imported and the country relies on tourism. When we did the 3/4 day tour in 2022, I spent (flights / food / hotel / 3 day riding experience) about $13,500. We are trying to make trip under 10K per person but with DOUBLE the riding & more days / experiences in Iceland. This is a highly curated adventure so we aren't staying in crappy hostels and and everything is planned & handled for you. Good news! We will able to offer payment options to break up the costs. 

This is a very long trip with a small group. If you are the type that needs to control a situation, can't laugh when things suck, not physically or mentally able to handle a jarring 6 straight days of rough riding, being on a bike that is a bit too big for them, being soaked & freezing then you might have a very hard time on this style of trip. We are all in this together and must share small spaces during this adventure so everyone needs to be next level kind, courteous, and mentally/physically able to handle it.

Riding experience & fitness is needed. From experience, I'd say you need to be at least a strong intermediate rider to take on the challenge. If you aren't in the best of shape, make that a priority too as this will kick your ass if not <3 

Your passport must be valid and not expiring in 2024 or 2025. People have been denied flying international at airport gates if a passport expires within 6 months of departure. 

Travel insurance is mandatory & we will send over who we personally use for our own travel to each person who books this adventure with us. We are personally responsible for each spot and only those financially and ethically responsible & committed should do so. If for any reason, you book this trip with us and can't make it for any reason, you are still 100% responsible for the financial cost and loss unless you can find someone to take your spot. 

A way more extensive schedule per day & what sites you'll see will come a bit later but if you want to get on the waitlist & be the first to know when this adventure goes live, email ashmore@babesrideout.com.
