Introduction

Experience Iceland’s stunning landscapes, enjoying 4 days of riding through rivers and valleys, across open plains and sandbars. You’ll even follow an invigorating trail across a shallow lake, whilst driving a herd of free-running horses ahead of you.

Hvammur Farm on the edge of the Vatnsdalur Valley is the base for this holiday. The spectacular setting was chronicled in the Icelandic Sagas and there are some excellent riding trails in the surrounding area, such as that which leads across the Thingeyrasandur sandbar to Lake Hop. Here the trail extends right across the lake, which is the fifth largest in Iceland, proving quite unforgettable.

Enjoy hearty home-cooked meals each evening in a peaceful countryside location and sleep in comfortable 2 to 4-bed rooms throughout the trek and one night in a guesthouse in Reykjavik at the end of the tour. Facilities will be shared on all nights.
