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 select between two options, a one hour riding tour or a two hour riding tour (time in the saddle). Total time is about 1,5 hrs for the one hour ride and 2,5 hours for the two hour ride.
