Mountains & Meadows Horse Riding Tour
Feel free to contact us
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.
The guide can adjust the pace and amount of tölt to the group, so the hour feels engaging without turning into a technical riding challenge. Clear weather can open views towards the volcanoes and glacier country beyond Hella.
