1 / 8This horseback riding is one of the standout things to do in Hveragerdi, Iceland. Rated 4.2/5 by 5 travellers, it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €244 per person. Short on time? This tour lets you ride horses and go whale watching all in one day, with lunch included. It is a great tour for all riding levels!
Are you short on time but longing for activities? On this tour you have the chance to experience two big beautiful animals on the same day, the horse and the whale! We start the tour by riding for 1.5-2 hours at our farm Vellir. After the riding tour we have light lunch at Hótel Eldhestar before driving you to the Whale Safari boat.
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.
