Riding into the Wild
Riding into the Wild
Join us for an unforgettable horseback ride to the abandoned farm of Kleif, surrounded by Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes. Along the way, take time to enjoy the scenery and fresh air. For those feeling adventurous, you can even try crossing the Jökulsá River using a traditional cableway, a fun and memorable challenge!
Riding an Icelandic horse is an experience everyone should try. It gives a unique feeling of freedom and a special way to explore nature, whether you are a first-time rider or experienced in horseback riding. After the ride, you can relax in our Old Farmhouse and enjoy a homemade lunch or cake buffet on request.
Each horse is carefully chosen to match the rider, ensuring both safety and enjoyment. The full experience takes about 3 hours, including choosing and saddling the horses and a stop at the abandoned farm.
