Overview

On this exceptional all-seasons tour, you‘ll enjoy the diversity of the Icelandic landscape. Our reliable and strong horses will carry you directly into nature’s tranquility and won’t mind frozen ground or scrunching snow in winter as well as the soft grassy path in the summer.

You will ride along the river Svartá over an adventure track along a hillside and will bring you to the beautiful waterfall Reykjafoss. All the time you will be surrounded by the mountain panorama of the fjord.

You will never forget the unique experience of exploring your surroundings on horseback – just like the Vikings did. Join in a ride that has „All in One“.

Please let us know if you have any previous riding experience. This helps us choose the right horses for you. You can do this on the check out page.
