Explore Iceland’s diverse landscapes on this exclusive 5-hour private riding tour along the Þjórsá river, where experienced riders can enjoy multiple well-trained Icelandic horses with a dedicated guide and refreshments included.

On this exclusive private day tour, your group will explore Iceland's diverse landscapes and have the opportunity to ride an Icelandic horse for an extended period.

This tour is perfect for riders with some experience who want to ride multiple horses through stunning scenery alongside Iceland's longest river, Þjórsá. With your own dedicated guide, you'll enjoy a fully personalized experience tailored to your group's interests and pace.

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.
