Description

Meet the Icelandic horse and get a taste of farm life in North Iceland on this winter horse riding tour and farm visit from Akureyri.

You're picked up at your accommodation, the port, or the airport in Akureyri for the drive of about 30 minutes along Eyjafjordur Fjord to the farm near Grenivik Village.

At the farm, you learn about the Icelandic horse, its history, and the people who care for the horses. Then you help prepare the horses for the ride.

Next, you set off on your horseback ride. If the weather allows, you ride across the ice.

Icelandic horses are known for the tolt, a smooth four-beat gait unique to the breed.

After the ride, you visit the farm's sheep and get a look at daily life on the farm. There's also a hot tub.

The tour ends with drop-off in Akureyri.

Check availability by choosing a date.
