Come along on a fabulous tour of the Icelandic countryside on the back of a purebred Icelandic horse. This tour is ideal for anyone looking for a personal experience with the Icelandic environment and suits all riders, from beginners to masters. Before the tour starts, you'll be matched with a mount who is perfect for your skill level, allowing you to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Groups on this tour are kept to 20 people or fewer, as well, to ensure personal attention from your guide and a truly special riding experience in the countryside. You’ll be picked up from your accommodation in Reykjavik – or you can drive yourself – to the nearby Riding Centre, for a relaxing amble about well-marked riding trails. Lava fields through which you'll be riding were created when an eruption scrapes the plains clean of plant life, resemble a pebbled, craggy riverbed, filled with huge chunks of rocks. As you ride, look for different shapes and figures in the rock formations, a pleasant pastime for local riders. Some lava fields are in the process of being reclaimed by plant life, covered in spongy blankets of moss, prickly scrub brush or delicate purple lupine. The environment is just as fantastic as your mount. The Icelandic horse is a national treasure. Fiercely guarded by the Icelandic people, these shaggy horses are descended from the horses of the first settlers, imported from Norway in the 9th century. After that, there were attempts to breed them with European stock, which led to the decline of the hardy qualities which make the Icelandic horse so valuable to the harsh lifestyle of historical Iceland. For this reason, the Icelandic parliament banned the importation of horses into Iceland by the end of the 10th century. Today, the Icelandic horse has been protected for more than 1,000 years. The Icelandic horse has been preserved in legends and sagas as well. A horse named Skalm was mentioned in the famous Book of Settlements, written in the 12th century. Her owner decided to make his home at the place she chose: when she stopped walking and lay down, he founded his settlement. What secret messages will your horse reveal on this tour?

This combo is for anyone who wants to explore the Icelandic environment in depth, or someone who can’t decide if they want something more relaxing or more active – this tour is both! You will be picked up at your accommodation in Reykjavik for the horse riding tour. You will explore the lava surrounding Mt. Helgafell volcano and ride across beautiful hillsides to the old Kaldársel sheep corral, currently a place of colourful summer camp cabins, or to Lake Hvaleyrarvatn. Lake Hvaleyrarvatn is a popular oasis for locals as well as flocks of migrating birds such as seagulls, snipes, redwings, blackbirds, plovers and more. The route of the tour depends on the season and the weather, so no two tours are the same. After the horse riding tour, you will be driven to downtown Reykjavík where you can enjoy lunch before immersing yourselves in the velvety darkness of the Leiðarendi lava cave. Leiðarendi lava cave, in the Tvíbollahraun lava field, is a capital example of a lava tube. The cave was created by an eruption thousands of years ago, with the outside layer of the tube cooling while the middle of the tube continued to flow, hollowing the interior. A distinctive feature of this cave is the flakes of lava which fall from the ceiling and walls, piling at your feet like gleaming dragon scales. The collection of these flakes causes layers which helps geologists understand the age of the cave and its changes throughout the years. Get ready for some more activity. To make your way through, you will climb, crawl and walk in your travels beneath the surface. There is plenty of beauty and colour hidden in the depths here, so get ready to work for it. Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore the lava landscape, both above and below. Check availability by choosing a date.

Jump in the saddle for a long afternoon ride with the Icelandic horse. This tour is recommended for strong, experienced riders who are comfortable on horseback and able to be in control at all paces. This tour is limited to 20 or fewer people to ensure that every person gets sufficient attention from your guide and is able to enjoy the surroundings as much as possible. After being picked up at your accommodation in Reykjavik, you’ll join your tour group at the Riding Centre in the nearby countryside. If you like, you can start the afternoon with lunch at the stable. After learning a bit about the history of the Icelandic horses, you’ll be matched with a horse and will be ready to go. We will ride toward Heiðmörk, a gorgeous nature park where millions of trees have been planted in a community effort to restore Iceland’s woodlands. The most common tree here is the spruce, but wildflowers bloom in abundance, and many birds flock to the pools of water and lush vegetation. Ask your guide to point out the night trolls, three rock formations on top of a distant mountain. Supposedly, these three trolls journeyed to a nearby beach to fetch the meat of a whale who had washed ashore. After arguing all night with other trolls who had come to eat whale, these trolls were caught by the light of the morning sun and turned immediately to stone. Don't miss this chance to canter, trot, and tölt through the beautiful countryside on the back of an Icelandic horse. Check availability by choosing a date.
Jump on this opportunity to test the strength of the Icelandic horse as you make your way through lava fields, rivers and around mountains. This tour is for experienced riders who would like to take advantage of their sure-footed mount by going off-road. You should be experienced enough to remain in control at all paces, firm seat, comfortable in the saddle for up to 7 hours. Each tour is limited to 20 or fewer people in order to ensure comfort for all and personal attention from your guide. This way, you can really enjoy the experience of putting the Icelandic horse through its paces. First crossing lava fields covered with softly creeping moss, you’ll ford Kaldá river, a popular spot for salmon and char fishing in Iceland. Up next is a longer trek around Heiðmörk Nature Park, a huge conservation area in Iceland. More than 4 million trees have been planted since 1950, and it is home to many species of migratory birds and colorful wildflowers. The choice of routes and trails depends on the season and weather, so no two riding tours are the same. The tour kicks off with an introductory ride in the morning.
