ICELAND UNLIMITED: The most EPIC Motorcycle Road Trip
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This motorcycle journey through Iceland moves from Reykjavík to remote coastal regions, then into the island’s highlands on a sequence of named roads and excursions. Recorded in August 2022, the film combines a broad circuit of Iceland with detours to volcanic, geothermal and glacial landscapes.
About this film
Got2Go’s Iceland trip is presented as a motorcycle ride, with the route ranging from the capital and coastal towns to remote islands and highland roads. Its itinerary asks, in effect, how to travel the island: by the Ring Road or by taking F-roads, with the chapters showing a mixture of both approaches. The journey includes stops at Flatey, the Westfjords, Siglufjörður and the Mývatn geothermal area, before moving through the Eastfjords and along Iceland’s southern sights. Later sections turn inland, including an excursion to Askja and crossings on Routes 35 and F26. The film is a standalone Iceland journey within the creator’s wider motorcycle-travel work.
The journey
After arriving in Reykjavík, the ride heads west to Flatey and the Westfjords, then north to Siglufjörður and Lake Mývatn. An excursion to Askja takes the itinerary into the highlands. From there, the route continues through the Eastfjords, past Stokksnes Beach and onward to Jökulsárlón, Fjallsárlón and the Black Beach at Vík. The later chapters add Þakgil, geysers, waterfalls and hot springs, followed by a crossing of Iceland using Route 35 and F26. Landmannalaugar and Route F208 lead into the final listed destinations: the Laki Craters and F210. The description identifies these as adventurous and off-the-beaten-track roads, but does not detail specific riding conditions.
People, places and moments
The film’s appeal lies in the contrast between a long island-wide itinerary and its focused excursions: a remote island stop, northern and eastern coastal regions, geothermal terrain around Mývatn, and journeys into the highlands. The Eastfjords section is associated in the description with puffins, while Askja, the Laki Craters and the routes to Landmannalaugar provide the journey’s volcanic and highland emphasis. The listed landmarks also include glacier lagoons, a black beach, waterfalls and hot springs. The motorcycle is a Yamaha Ténéré 700 called Fox, identified by the creator in the description. Together, these details make the film useful for viewers interested in Iceland by motorcycle, particularly those weighing a main-road circuit against more remote F-road excursions.
