The farm nestles in the southern shore of Snaefellsnes between the charming village of Arnarstapi and Budir hamlet.

To keep you entertained, the guide will tell you exciting stories, folklore, and trivia about Iceland as you explore around.

Known for their gentle nature and unique characteristics, these horses are excellent riding companions and well-suited to the terrain. Your guide will help match you with a horse that suits your experience level and ensure you feel comfortable in the saddle.

As you begin your horseback adventure, the guide will take you through the stunning Hraunlandarif beach, nestling between Arnarstapi and Budir.  Hraunlandarif is a picturesque coastal area in Snaefellsnes, famous for its vast stretches of golden sand with dramatic lava formations.

One of the most notable attractions here is the Snaefellsjokull glacier, towering at 4744 feet (1446 meters). On a sunny and clear day, catching a glimpse of this glacier-capped volcano in most areas of the peninsula is possible.

Besides the stunning landscapes, the guide will share fascinating information about the region's natural history, geology, and cultural significance, enriching your experience with their expertise.

The Hraunlandarif beach and its surrounding fields are home to diverse flora and fauna that thrive during summer. Your guide will point out unique plant species along the way, and if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of some local wildlife, such as seabirds or seals. 

After an hour of horseback riding, you'll head back to the farm to return the horses, marking the end of this journey.

This tour is designed to accommodate riders of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced horse riders. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned rider, you can enjoy the sensation of riding a well-trained Icelandic horse, known for its comfortable gait and majestic appearance.
