oin us on a truly adventurous ride across Iceland on historical routes along huge
glaciers and through lava fields. We travel with a small group in the traditional style
with a large herd of free running horses and stay overnight in rustic mountain huts.
Visit the Golden Waterfull Gullfoss, the breathtaking Brúarhlöð canyon and the hot
springs of the Geysir Area. Enjoy views of the terrific Kerlingarfjöll mountain range and
follow the footsteps of the ancient Icelanders at Þingvellir Parliament place and relax
in the geothermal natural bath of the Secret Lagoon. During this tour you will cross
several glacial rivers on horseback, ride along narrow trails through vast lava fields only
accessible to horses and will feel the indescribable freedom of the highlands. On this
tour we ride with our wonderful warmhearted hosts Hjalti and Ása from Kjóastaðir farm
who know this part of the highland better than anybody else. Look forward to homemade food with love and wonderful singing in the evening. Please note: At the end or
the beginning of the tour you can add an optional two days tour to the highlights of the
north, to Akureyri town,
