We make this tour with our great partners and tour operator Exploring Iceland.

This tour combines a wonderful riding tour with 6 riding days of 20 to 30 km daily rides to the main sightseeing highlights in the South of Iceland with cozy Country Hotel accommodation.

During the ride we enjoy marvelous views of volcanoes and glaciers, visit on horseback the Golden Waterfall Gullfoss, the majestic canyon Brúarhlöð and ride all the way up to the erupting hot springs of the Geysir field. We visit Þjórsárdalur valley with its magnificient waterfall Hjálparfoss, an open air museum with a reconstructed house from the Viking era and ride along the edge of beautiful Gjáin with its numerous waterfalls and lava formations. Enjoy tölting along the mighty salmon river Stóra-Laxá sided by fantastic basalt columns on wonderful tölting tracks.

Accommodation is offered in double/twin or single rooms with private sh/wc at three different cozy country hotels. In the evening enjoy a relaxing bath in the jacuzzis offered by all three hotels!
