Your journey begins at the idyllic farm Vellir, where the air is crisp and the landscape stretches out in a tapestry of volcanic mountains and lush, expansive meadows. Here, you’ll mount a gentle Icelandic horse, perfectly matched to your riding experience, and set off on a serene ride along well-trodden trails. The rhythmic sound of hooves on the earth and the gentle sway of the saddle create a soothing cadence as you traverse this enchanting countryside, with the distant peaks standing sentinel against the sky.
After a delightful ride, a hearty lunch awaits at Hotel Eldhestar, where you can savor local flavors and recharge for the next leg of your adventure. Soon, you’ll be whisked away to the legendary Geysir geothermal area, where the earth breathes steam and water erupts in a spectacular dance. Stand in awe as Strokkur, Iceland’s most active geyser, hurls boiling water skyward, a testament to the raw power beneath the earth’s crust.

The sheer force and beauty of Gullfoss are mesmerizing, a natural wonder that captures the wild spirit of Iceland.
Your journey culminates at Thingvellir National Park, a place where history and geology intertwine. Walk through this UNESCO World Heritage site, where the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia meet, creating a dramatic rift valley. Here, amidst the stark beauty of the landscape, you’ll feel the weight of history and the timelessness of nature.
