Ride Iceland’s purebred horses through Reykjadalur’s hot-spring valley, learn the tölt gait, and stay comfy with gear and tea.
“Great experience we really enjoyed ourselves lovely horses and beautiful scenery and the guides were really friendly and knowledgeable. If winter put lots of layers on when you think k you have enough add a few more as soooo cold.”
Fly over Iceland’s Black Canyon on long, fast twin zip lines in Hveragerði, with a short hike and easy, English-led setup.
“Tågen kunne de jo ikke gøre noget ved men har aldrig oplevet så upersonlig og ligegyldig betjening før”
Mega Zipline in Hveragerði: a 1 km conventional ride with Svartagljúfur waterfall views from a seated harness. Book ahead.
“Longer Zipline but more site seeing than adventurous. Literally took 5 min to do whole line costly for what it was about. Couldn’t see landscape as it was foggy and pouring rain.”
One-hour beginner-friendly horse ride from Vellir near Hveragerdi, with safety gear, English guide, and countryside views.
“Esperienza molto bella con la mia famiglia (due bimbi di 10 anni)”
Family-friendly 1-hour horseback riding in Reykjadalur, South Iceland. Gentle Icelandic horses, small groups, rain gear and coffee/tea.
Ride a 5-gaited Icelandic horse through Reykjadalur near Reykjavik. Small group, included gear, and a real taste of tolt.
“Great experience riding Icelandic horses, good for beginners as well as more experienced riders. We lucked out and had a really small group, which was extra nice. We got a real taste for riding in Iceland’s beautiful countryside, including riding through a few low rivers and experiencing the famous tolt! It would have been nice to learn a bit about Icelandic horse culture and the area we were riding through, but it was a short tour.”
Ride Icelandic horses near Hveragerði on guided trails through meadows, lava fields, and river crossings, with tölt opportunities.
“The horses were fabulous! The weather made it difficult to talk but nothing to be done about that! We loved the ride!”
Private Reykjadalur geothermal hike with pickup, crampons, and a warm river swim in Iceland’s Steam Valley for a small private group.
“Amazing! This was an absolute highlight of the trip. Our tour guide was brilliant. It was so nice to go for a decent hike with beautiful views and swim in a steamy hot stream.”
