Travel across the beautiful Icelandic landscape on horseback while learning about the unique status and history of Icelandic horses.
This tour begins in Hveragerði and goes along the slopes of Reykjafjall mountain before arriving to the Reykjadalur hot springs where you will have the chance to take a dip in the river. The tour offers breathtaking views that are even better when experienced from horse back.
This horse riding experience is very unique compared to any other you may have done before. Not only it is a very special journey in the Icelandic country side, it is also a chance to ride on the back of the incredible Icelandic horses. Iceland takes very good care of its horse breed and there is a lot to learn about them while riding.
