Excellent 2.5-Hour Horse Riding Tour in Raudholar with Transfer from Reykjavik

Saddle up for a unique adventure as you discover the breathtaking volcanic landscape outside Reykjavík on horseback. Ride around the countryside and get to know the friendly Icelandic horse on this exciting tour. It is perfect for those who wish to immerse themselves in nature without leaving the capital area.

The Icelandic horse is very gentle, so this tour is perfect for beginners and seasoned riders. Children from 10 years old are welcome to participate in this experience, making it the ideal family group activity while visiting Iceland.

This horse breed is known for its friendly temperament and adaptability to the country's rugged terrain. Smaller than most breeds, Viking settlers brought it to Iceland over 1000 years ago, and it has remained a pure breed ever since.

One of the most unique features of this horse is its fifth riding pace, the "tolt," which provides an incredibly smooth and comfortable ride, even on uneven ground.

Your adventure starts with an optional pick-up from Reykjavik, where your driver will take you to stables near Lake Raudavatn on the city's edge.

Upon arrival, you'll meet your guides, experts in horse riding and Icelandic nature. They will introduce you to your horse for the day, carefully matching you with one based on your riding experience, height, and weight.

Before setting off, your guide will give you all the essential safety equipment, including a helmet, boots, and warm overalls. After a brief riding introduction, you'll be ready to start your journey through Iceland's beautiful countryside.

The route takes you past the serene Lake Raudavatn, across lava fields, and over impressive hills, offering a scenic and peaceful escape into nature.

As you ride, your knowledgeable guides will share fascinating stories about the region's history and the volcanic forces that shaped the landscape. Along the way, you'll have opportunities to take in the views and capture unforgettable photos.

End your tour back at the stables, where you can unwind with a cup of coffee and take a moment to chat with your guides, ask any remaining questions, or share your experiences.

If you add transfers, you'll enjoy a hassle-free drop-off, returning comfortably to your accommodation in Reykjavik or nearby towns, ensuring a smooth and relaxing conclusion to your adventure.
