What to expect
This tour in the Icelandic countryside takes 1 hour and is ideal for families, groups and guests travelling in their own car. Participants will get a small taste of the Icelandic horse’s qualities and experience the Icelandic countryside on horseback. We meet at our farm and spend 1 hour of riding on excellent riding paths around Eldhestars farm Vellir. We start with a short introduction to horseback riding and then we start our journey along meadows and enjoy the farmland views as well as pictoresque mountains in the distance.
