Explore Iceland’s diverse landscapes on a 5-hour horseback riding day tour with small groups, personal service, and a break for refreshments along the country’s longest river, Þjórsá.

On this Day Tour, you will explore the diverse landscapes of Iceland and have the opportunity to ride an Icelandic horse for an extended period.

Small groups – Personal service!

We prioritize small groups to ensure personal service! This tour is perfect for riders with some experience who want to ride multiple horses through stunning scenery alongside Iceland's longest river, Þjórsá.

We will match each rider with the best horse, and all our horses are well-trained and have a good Tölt gait. Our journey will start in our riding hall, where you'll get to know your horse, before we head out to enjoy a ride together in the beautiful countryside.

The day tour lasts 5 hours and includes a break, during which you can enjoy coffee or hot cocoa along with sandwiches.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled tour time.
