Feel the thrill of adventure as you mount a sturdy Icelandic horse, renowned for its unique tölt gait, and set off on an exhilarating journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Iceland. The tour begins with a gentle ride along lush meadows, where the rhythmic beat of hooves on soft earth sets the pace for an unforgettable experience.

Continuing onward, the terrain shifts to the soft banks of the Ölfusá River, where the horizon opens up to reveal a panoramic view of Iceland's majestic volcanoes, Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull, their snow-capped peaks piercing the sky.
The journey takes a tranquil turn as you ride through a vibrant bird sanctuary, the air alive with the calls of myriad bird species. The experience is a symphony of nature's sounds, the whisper of the wind, and the distant rush of the river. As the tour concludes, you return to the welcoming embrace of Vellir farm, your heart full of the wild beauty and serene moments shared with your noble steed.
