Horseback Riding Through Iceland's Meadows and Mountains

Embark on a memorable horseback riding adventure in the heart of Iceland's countryside. The "Meadows and Mountains" tour captures the beauty of the green valleys and striking peaks around Vellir farm, an area steeped in history and natural splendor. Whether you are a seasoned rider or a beginner, this experience is tailored for all skill levels and offers a unique perspective of the Icelandic landscape.

Start at Vellir Farm

Your journey begins at Vellir farm, where friendly staff and your English-speaking guide introduce you to the Icelandic horse, renowned for its surefootedness and distinct character. After gearing up with safety and riding equipment, you'll receive an introductory briefing covering basic riding techniques and safety instructions, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable ride for everyone.

Scenic Trails and Historic Views

Follow the tranquil river Gljúfurá as your horse leads you into the stunning scenery. The route takes you towards the iconic slopes of Ingolfsfjall Mountain, named after Ingólfur Arnarson, Iceland's first Norwegian settler. Along this picturesque ride, you'll trek at a gentle pace, allowing plenty of time to take in the expansive views, perfect for capturing unforgettable photos.

Between Ocean, Volcanoes and Mountains

The journey continues along the base of Reykjafjall Mountain, offering glimpses of the diverse terrain that Iceland is famous for. Riders can marvel at the contrasting elements of the landscape, where the ocean meets volcanic terrain and lush meadows. The area around Hveragerdi village is well-known for its hot springs, and while you won't ride directly through them, you'll have opportunities to see steam rising in the distance, adding to the magical experience.

Suitability and Comfort

This tour is designed to be accessible for most visitors, including families. The horses are carefully chosen for their calm temperament, making the experience welcoming and safe for beginners. Your guide will share knowledge about the environment, local traditions and the unique qualities of the Icelandic horse throughout the ride.

Your Journey Returns to the Farm

After an approximate two and a half hour adventure, the loop concludes back at Vellir farm. Finish your ride by caring for your horse and taking the chance to ask your guide any remaining questions about the region or the horses themselves.

  • Professional guides ensure a rewarding and secure trip for all.

  • All necessary equipment is provided for the duration of the tour.

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off offer stress-free logistics from your base in the area.
