Tour Details
Feel the rhythm of the Icelandic countryside as you embark on a journey that marries the thrill of horseback riding with the serene beauty of geothermal wonders. Your adventure begins at the foot of the majestic Mt. Reykjafjall, where you mount a sturdy Icelandic horse, renowned for its unique tölt gait. As you set off along well-trodden trails, the crisp mountain air fills your lungs, and the gentle clip-clop of hooves becomes a soothing melody against the backdrop of nature's symphony.
The path leads you through a lush, verdant forest, where the scent of pine mingles with the earthy aroma of the soil. Sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled shadows that dance across the forest floor. Emerging from the woods, the landscape transforms as you approach the geothermal area, a place where the earth breathes steam and the ground is alive with vibrant colors. The hot springs bubble and hiss, their mineral-rich waters painting the rocks in hues of rust and emerald.
This geothermal wonderland, perched above the charming village of Hveragerði, tells a story of nature's raw power, having expanded dramatically during the 2008 earthquake. As you ride along the colorful hills, the panoramic views unfold, revealing a tapestry of volcanic mountains and sprawling plains that cradle the village below.
After a refreshing pause, where you savor local treats and delve into the fascinating history of the Icelandic horse, you feel a deeper connection to this land and its traditions. The return journey to the farm is a chance to reflect on the day's experiences, the bond formed with your horse, and the tranquil beauty of Iceland's landscapes. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned rider, this tour offers a unique blend of adventure and relaxation, leaving you with memories as warm and enduring as the geothermal springs themselves.
