Description
Ride an Icelandic horse through lava fields on this beginner-friendly tour in Hafnarfjordur, a short drive from Reykjavik, followed by a fresh waffle and a hot drink.
The tour begins at the horse center in Hafnarfjordur, about 10 miles (17 kilometers) from Reykjavik, where you meet the guides and the horses. No riding experience is needed.
The horses grow warm, fluffy winter coats and wear studded winter shoes, which keep them sure-footed even when the paths are covered with ice and snow.
Then you ride at a calm pace through lava fields, surrounded by mountains.
Back at the horse center, you get a freshly baked waffle with toppings of your choice and hot chocolate, coffee, or tea.
Take your time to relax afterward. The guides are happy to answer your questions about Icelandic horses, and you can browse horse-related souvenirs or visit the stables and paddocks to pet and say goodbye to your horse.
