Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Iceland’s countryside with a tour that combines the thrill of horseback riding with the relaxation of soaking in a warm swimming pool. This experience is perfect for anyone looking to connect with Icelandic traditions and culture in a truly authentic way.

Begin your day with a convenient morning pick-up from Reykjavik, from where you'll be heading south to the horse stables located just outside the picturesque town of Hveragerdi.

Here, you'll meet your trusty Icelandic horse, which will be carefully chosen to match your riding experience and personality. This horse breed is known for their friendly and gentle nature and are the ideal companions for both new riders and those with more experience.

The Icelandic horse has played a crucial role in the survival and history of Icelanders for centuries. With their small yet sturdy build, these horses were once the primary means of transportation, navigating the challenging volcanic terrain with ease.

On this tour, you'll have the unique opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Iceland's ancestors, exploring the countryside on the back of this loyal and dependable animal.

You’ll spend approximately 2.5 to 3 hours in the saddle, riding through a diverse landscape that includes both dark, rugged lava fields and lush terrain. As you explore the farm’s surrounding areas, you will witness stunning views of Iceland’s natural beauty, making this ride an unforgettable experience.

After your ride, you'll head to a local hotel where a light lunch will be served. This meal is the perfect way to recharge after your morning adventure.

The next part of your tour takes you to Hveragerdi’s local geothermal swimming pool, where you can experience another very popular Icelandic tradition: bathing! 

Soak in the warm waters of the hot tubs, which are naturally heated by the earth’s geothermal energy. These soothing waters are perfect for easing any muscle tension after your time in the saddle. If you’re still feeling energetic, you can swim a few laps in the pool or unwind further in the steam sauna.

After your dip, you'll be driven back to the stables for some homemade cake and coffee or tea. This will be your chance to ask your guides any further questions you might have about this trusted animal.

End the day back in the city with a smooth drop-off at your accommodation in Reykjavik or the surrounding area.

This tour offers a perfect blend of outdoor exploration and cultural immersion, giving you a true taste of Icelandic life. Don’t miss the chance to spend a day horseback riding through the countryside and warming up in a soothing pool like a true Icelander. Check availability by choosing a date.
