Our riding tours depart from Álftagerði farm on the south side of Lake Myvatn. We ride along the coastline of Lake Myvatn, up on top of pseudocraters as well as weaving through the old lava, partly on old horseroads that were used to transport people and supplies many many years ago. The tours take you through amazing lava formations and provides you a view over the whole lake, its islands and birds.
The riding tours are suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. You can expect to spend 1,5 hours for the experience, the time in the saddle is about one hour.
During spring time, from April through mid-May, our regular trails may still be recovering from winter and may not permit riding on. During that time we adapt the tour and ride on less travelled roads instead in the vicinity of the farm.
For larger groups (>10) and private tours, please contact us by phone or e-mail: +354-864-1121, safarihestar@safarihestar.is
Helmets are provided for each rider and flynets if necessary. Gloves may be borrowed upon request.
Please dress according to weather (warm clothes if cold, rain jacket if raining). Gloves are nice to keep your hands warm, especially in cool or wet conditions.
We kindly ask you to arrive 10-15 minutes before the scheduled starting time in order to get everyone ready in time.
Large cameras/lenses or bags should not be taken on the tour and if taken, any damage is your responsibility.
Please be advised that 110 kg (242 lbs) is the maximum weight for our strongest horses. If you weigh more than 100 kg (220 lbs), please notify us in advance so we can make necessary arrangements (safarihestar@safarihestar.is).
Please understand that horses are live animals and can be startled by loud noises such as screaming.
