Dear friends of Iceland, new and old guests,

at the end of the Christmas days, that are counted in Iceland until January 5th., we had a special celestial phenomenon in the morning called Glitský.
We hope you had a cozy Christmas time and a good start into the new year 2025! We got already a lot of bookings of the tours, but depending on the tour there are still places available!
For example, our season opening riding tour „Horses and Hot Pools“ at Easter, well suited for non-riders, riders and also families.
And we are always active on facebook and Instagram, take a look: abbi-island.

Greetings from Iceland…

Dear Iceland friends,

Winter has arrived in Iceland, the horses are on vacation on their winter pasture, our most important employees Leo and Þula are adjusting to a lot of office sleep, our homepage has been revised for 2025, so you can now use the darkest time of the year browsing our homepage, Insta and Facebook (Abbi-Island) and thinking about a trip to Iceland.
For the hiking trips we have a new one in the program that is important to our boss: Iceland Impressions (active but in the spirit of slow travel).
And there will be no more printed brochures from us, many have unsubscribed from our mailing list, with a note to save paper – „you can also be seen on the Internet“. But it’s a little heavy on our hearts now without a brochure….
We wish you a nice Advent season and we look forward to hear from you!
Greetings from Iceland…

Dear Iceland friends,

Autumn has arrived with lots of sun and beautiful colours. We are still working on the timetable for the 2025 tours on our homepage. We hope to be able to update it soon. You can always ask us here info@abbi-island.is, a lot of tours are already set up and ready to be booked.

Now we are looking forward to 2 tours of „Northern Lights“, and the „Silence of winter“, now in October!
Greetings from Iceland…

Dear new and old friends and guests Iceland,

Winter still has us under control here in Iceland but we’re looking forward to spring and summer when hiking and horseback riding will become more enjoyable again!
Our „Spring Pearl“ tour starting May 28th will be the first hiking event to start the season. It’s the favourite tour of our boss Arinbjörn: Nature awakens, lambs are born and migratory birds reclaim the land and fill life with its songs.
We walk on foot, by minibus and go on a ferry ride in the western part of Iceland. It’s time to enjoy the awakening nature, take photos and let our soul unwind. Our first riding tour of the year „horses and hot pools“ opens the season (good off-season price). Beautiful rides through our great surroundings, rivers, hills, mountains and a lot of side program are inviting also non-riding friends, family members and partners (non-rider discount).
You can follow us on Insta and FB under Abbi-Island.

Dear Iceland friends,
a long summer has come to an end and autumn is here with all its beautiful colors. We are working on the 2024 program and also to bring the homepage up to date for 2024. Until that’s finished you can always request tours/dates for next year at info@abbi-island.is or simply call 00354 4512938.

Spring is a long time coming here in Iceland after an unusually harsh winter, but the days are getting longer and the nights are getting bright! At Easter is also our first riding tour, so the stable is full of horses for training and riding horses that start their work again after 5 months of winter vacation…

Booking overview:
There are still a few places left on our summer riding tours and the horse round-up (the highlight for every Icelandic horse rider).

On the hiking tours there are only 3 places left for the tour lava, caves, moor IV (25.7.23) and 2 places for the tour lava, caves, moor V (08.08.23).

Then later in the year at the end of the summer we have our special tour for hikers: The great sheep event on 06.09.23. This tour is a long way off the beaten tourist tracks in Iceland and you’re in the middle of 2- and 4-legged Icelanders and the northern lights season has started – for this tour we received Nordic Travel Award 2016!!

In October our northern light tours are starting (12.10.23 / 26.10.23).

We are looking forward to seeing you and a nice summer!

Dear friends of Iceland,
an eventful summer is over, autumn has arrived and we say, as it‘s the custom in Iceland: „Thank you for the summer“. Now we are working on our 2023 program and our homepage. All dates and tours 2023 are scheduled, if you can’t wait any longer send us an e-mail 😀 On our New Year’s program there are only a few places left but there are still enough places on our Northern Lights Tours 2023: 09.02. – 14.02. or 23.02. – 28.02. Welcome!

Dear friends of Iceland,
a harsh winter has been staying here in Iceland, but spring is coming and we are longing for it ☺
Our spring tour for nature friends and bird lovers on 9.6. is fully booked. Our season opening tour „Horses and hot pools“, very suitable for riders, non-riders (discount) and families, with comfortable accommodation, a lot of program and off-season prices, still has places available. There are still places on some summer tours, hiking and horseback riding, but partly very limited. The flights have become more expensive in 2022 and the cheaper seats are already gone on very frequented flights, so it pays off not to wait too long to book!
If you are traveling with a rental car in Iceland and looking for bed & breakfast, our guesthouse will open for individual travelers from April and you can stay with us very cheaply im May if you stay several nights (3 for2). During peak season are still a few opportunities left.
Like all nordic countries, Iceland is gradually withdrawing its strict Covid rules for entry and within the country. All travel insurances are set to Covid and cover also this risk – so nothing stands in the way of a nice travel season and happy holidays in Iceland!

All information about entering Iceland can be found on the website www.covid.is in German and English.

Since the entry requirements keep on changing in Iceland, you can find out about the latest status.
