Let an adorable Icelandic horse heat your body and soul! After one hour on horseback, riders can soften up in the big and warm hotpot in Hveragerði’s famous swimming pool, where there is also a steam sauna for the really brave. Imagine sitting in the steamy water as a light snowfall turns the grass around you white. At Hótel Eldhestar we then have a light lunch.
Please note: The tour is suitable for all levels of riding experience from beginners to advanced. During booking process, we ask our clients to inform us about their riding experience, which helps us to choose the right horse for everyone. Beginners and experienced riders ride together. We always try to tölt as much as possible, but do not gallop for safety reasons.
Hveragerdi is rewarding year-round, but spring and early autumn typically bring the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer. Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular horseback riding slots in Hveragerdi sell out.
