First, your driver will pick you up from your designated location. Then you will head to Olfus, where it's time to observe stunning nature all around you with an easy-level horseback ride. The ride takes about 1.5-2 hours and follows smooth trails amid green meadows with gorgeous volcano views.

Marvel at the breathtaking surroundings and enjoy the easygoing nature of Icelandic horses. Known to be friendly, intelligent, and curious, they have a special relationship with the people of Iceland. You'll also be able to try their unique gait, the tolt.

Most horse species have only three gaits, whereas Icelandic horses boast five. The tolt is one of those extra gaits, likened to an exceptionally smooth trot. Icelanders love the tolt for its mix of speed and rider comfort.

After an enjoyable ride, relax and warm up with a delicious fish soup at Hotel Eldhestar. Then it's time to head to Drumbo Basecamp for a rafting adventure on the Hvita river. A thrilling experience awaits on the wild water of this glacial river. 

Traverse its length on a raft taking in magnificent scenery such as the stunning Bruarhlod Canyon. The 4.3-mile (7-kilometer) journey takes up to 90 minutes and is accessible for most people.

Relatively gentle currents on this class II river allow thrillseekers to bring the excitement to the next level if desired. Cliff jumping opportunities are waiting, and you can also have fun jumping off the boat and having a splash around. This rafting trip is the perfect combination of fun and action.

Following the rafting excursion, finish your day with the ultimate relaxation before the driver takes you back to Reykjavik. Warm and loosen your muscles in a hot sauna, the perfect complement for the day's activities.
