You will eat delicious seafood from

Iceland ́s lonely fjords that you have explored on horseback, salmon from the rivers you crossed and lamb that has been roaming free in the heath land areas we have been riding through. With all dishes, we serve fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms. If we were lucky on the hunt for wild blueberries during the day we might also prepare a delicious blueberry skyr cake for dessert.

A Riding Iceland tour into the Icelandic mountains is a spirit cleaning natural experience, which aims to take you out of your daily routine and put you into intimate touch with nature. You will find yourself having left all daily routines and duties far behind and leave this country with memories that will last a lifetime.

Your New Friends

It is almost impossible to participate in a Riding Iceland tour without knitting very close and lasting friendships both with men and horses. Together you will face the different challenges of the day and together you will solve them. In order to safely cross rocky lava fields, high mountain passes, conquer raging rivers and treacherous swamps you will build an unbreakable trust in your horse. It is also an incomparable experience to enjoy the mutual support among your fellow riders while taking care of the herd of lose running horses that is part of every Riding Iceland tour. According to the old traditions, there is a custom of feeding the horses, cooking and singing together at night, which is a big part of the magic in creating strong fellow- ship and making friends for life. This way you will quickly become a part of the country, the culture and experience the surprisingly powerful energy of trust and collaboration. Your new friends are waiting for you!
