This 5-hour adventure combines authentic Icelandic horse culture with volcanic landscapes, suitable for riders of all levels from complete beginners to advanced equestrians.
On this tour we offer the best rout we have available each time. Depending on weather, wind and experience, we ride for 1.5-2 hours in the surroundings of the farm.
Please note: The tour is suitable for all levels of riding experience from beginners to advanced.
