Description
Discover South Iceland from the saddle of the friendly Icelandic horse, riding through open countryside where volcanic earth, mountain views and fresh coastal air set the scene.
The smooth tölt, compact strength and calm character of this remarkable breed make the experience as distinctly Icelandic as the landscape itself. Clear organisation and expert guidance make it easy to relax into the experience and enjoy every memorable moment.
Transfer time, check-in and equipment fitting bring the full package to about five hours. Actual time in the saddle is approximately one and a half to two hours, with the final route chosen for weather and trail conditions.
