About the tour
What to expect from this tour
Calling all horse lovers seeking the thrill of the Icelandic horse’s faster gaits amidst the diverse landscapes of our beautiful country!
Your adventure begins amidst lush green fields and little farms, framed by a majestic mountain range. As you bond with your equine companion, soak in the picturesque surroundings, perhaps even spotting sheep and horses grazing nearby or high up in the mountains.
Quickly transitioning into a faster pace, you’ll head towards a hilltop vista offering unparalleled views of the bay below. Take a moment at the peak to rest and admire the breathtaking scenery before descending into the rugged embrace of a nearby lava field.
Here, you get to witness the true prowess of Icelandic horses as they effortlessly navigate the rough terrain. Traversing this barren landscape, envision the vikings who once trod these very paths, guided by the enduring stone towers that now lead you out of the lava field towards a tranquil lake. Here your four-legged friend enjoys another well-deserved rest.
Rejuvenated, you continue your journey by crossing the lake and riding onto the beach, where you’ll relish thrilling gallops alongside the waves of the North Atlantic, with the iconic Snaefellsjökull glacier standing sentinel in the distance.
After 2 to 2.5 hours in the saddle, your guide will lead you back to the farm, concluding an unforgettable adventure.
