Adventure-Filled Horseback Riding & River Rafting Combo Tour from Reykjavik

Immerse yourself in the stunning nature of Iceland with this horseback riding and river rafting combo tour from Reykjavik. This action-packed day is perfect for adventurers who want to experience South Iceland through unique and exciting activities. 

The tour starts from a meeting point near your hotel in the Reykjavik capital area, where your driver will pick you up. You will then travel to the town of Hveragerdi, in the southern region, until you reach the local horse farm, where your exciting horseback riding tour starts!

Enjoy the views on your drive and ask your guide questions about the surrounding landscapes and the adventures ahead. The Icelandic horse is a direct descendant of the horses that the Viking settlers brought to Iceland and is more than well-suited for the rugged terrain and cold weather.

The Icelandic horse is known for being friendly, having a good temperament, and being calm, making them great for first-time riders.

After a brief safety instruction and explanation from your expert guide, you will head out to the stunning countryside in the Hveragerdi area for your adventurous horseback riding tour.

During your ride, you'll pass through a soft trail with views of green meadows and volcanic mountain slopes. Your horseriding journey atop an Icelandic horse will last nearly two hours, going through varied terrain at different paces.

This exciting ride will end at a local hotel restaurant, where you will get the chance to fuel up on a light lunch. After this, you'll be picked up for a thrilling rafting activity on the famous Hvita river. 

After a short drive, you will reach the base of the river, where you will get all the gear you need for your rafting adventure. Your expert guide will show you how to use the paddle, and you will be ready to head into the water.

While rafting, you'll experience an adrenaline-pumping ride through the glacial river's waves and rapids, contrasted by its serene canyons. Altogether, this rafting tour will give you an excellent mix of wild and calm waves. As you cruise down the Hvita river, you get the chance to admire the rock walls, valleys, and waterfalls.

Your rafting tour will last one to one and a half hours, and you will travel around four miles (seven kilometers). At one point in your rafting tour, you'll also have the chance to cliff jump into the Hvita river's icy water if you are feeling brave.

After the rafting tour, you will get a chance to shower and jump into the warm sauna or hot tubs at the base, where there is also a restaurant if you want to sip a drink or enjoy a meal after your adrenaline-filled day.

End the tour by being driven back to your accommodation in Reykjavik in the evening with fantastic new memories of exciting adventures.
