The Riding
We ride in groups across some of the most varied terrain you’ll find anywhere in the world. The Snæfellsnes peninsula has often been called little Iceland due to it’s ever-changing landscape being able to offer almost everything the rest of the country has. On this tour we will ride from the southwestern corner all the way to Snæfellsnes northeastern coast.
By picking this tour you can witness an awe-inspiring glacier, ride on multiple beaches and through ancient lava fields, on top of spectacularly tall and beautiful ocean cliffs, over waterfalls and rivers, across fields of green and rugged mountain passes, through an ocean of lupine flowers and rough rocky terrain.
On this tour we will ride both slow and fast as the terrain changes dramatically each day. For the first four days of the trip we travel along Snæfellsnes southern coast, where we will spend a part of each day on beaches. These beaches form some of the worlds greatest riding terrain as their sand, which is high in clay content is arguably the perfect ground for riding on. There we can ride for hours on the famous smooth gait Tölt and the horses can really show their worth running free without any obstacles to slow them down. The fifth day is spend traversing across a long mountain pass all the way to the north side of the peninsula and on the sixth and final day, we take the time to ride around the area of Helgafellssveit.
The Food
There is no doubt that on a ride like this that one of most important aspects is the food that is served. On this tour, you will be served with quality breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We look forward to fill your bellies each day with delicious and filling traditional Icelandic meals. The food is overwhelmingly locally sourced from our abundant community of small family-run farms and local fishermen. We serve lamb that was raised free-roaming the peninsula, fish caught fresh by our neighbors and family, dairy and beef from a nearby dairy farm, many locally grown vegetables and so much more. Each day you can expect a rich and exiting new meal. We do not offer individual meals, we all eat together and everyone gets the same food that is on the menu that particular day. Except we do offer a vegetarian option for those who let us know in advance.
The Accomodation
Even though the tour is a round-trip, and the horses stay in a field where we have stopped for the night, you’ll return each evening back to the farm where you can enjoy a time of relaxation and great food. What better way to end a long day of riding than with a filling warm dinner and a pint at the bar?
The Holy Ram
If you book your accommodations in The Holy Ram, we have beautiful rooms with private bathrooms and a great hall with a warm, rustic feeling of home, where you’ll have a magnificent view of the glacier Snæfellsjökull and the beach. In these lodgings you will have access to both a sauna and a hot-pot to enjoy after your long ride.
The Farmhouse
For those horse-lovers who care less for the luxuries of the Holy Ram and are happy with simpler accomodation while they enjoy their week long riding adventure across the rugged Icelandic landscape, we offer rooms in the Gröf Farmhouse at a cheaper rate.
