RIDING, NATURE, EXPERIENCE

8 DAYS – COMBINED RIDING AND NATURE SIGHTSEEING TOUR

We will go riding in our home-region between the Highlands and the Coast together with free-running horses, along fine bridle paths, off the beaten tourist tracks to the sea side and up to the highland. Discover Iceland also by mini-bus and hiking, enjoy a good view of the beautiful nature in the West of Iceland. Visit rather unknown places such as the woodland Húsafell – Europe's biggest hot spring Delidartunguhver – the magic Waterfall Hraunfossar and the Lava Caves Surtshellir  or Viðigelmir.
