This horseback riding is one of the standout things to do in Hveragerdi, Iceland.

Enjoy a scenic horseback riding tour through meadows, along rivers, and past mountains near our farm in Iceland. Suitable for all experience levels, the tour offers beautiful views and friendly horses for everyone.
The tour starts on soft riding trails along the meadows around our farm Vellir. We then follow the river Gljufura and continue on an old route towards Ingolfsfjall Mountain, named after the first Norwegian Viking who settled in Iceland. We ride along the slopes of the mountain Reykjafjall with nice views of the landscape between the ocean and the volcanic mountains surrounding the village Hveragerdi before we return to our farm.
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.
