A perfect first riding day where you get to know the Icelandic horse and the way of riding in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoying great views of mountain ranges, valleys and the river Hvita.

Today we explore the friendly countryside of Bláskógabyggð when we ride  towards Kjarnholt Farm and enjoy great riding paths alongside the river Tungufljót. We will cross the river at a beautiful place and ride into an area protected because of the rich birdlife. On our way back to the farm we enjoy smooth riding paths and a great view over the Geysir area and Langjökull Glacier.

Day 4 Kjoastadir-Gullfoss-Kjolur Trail-Reykjavik
Head towards the majestic canyon Bruarhlod where milky, glacier fed water passes through bizarre rock formations. Follow the ever deepening canyon to the impressive golden waterfall Gullfoss. After having spent some time there, saddle up again and follow the famous Kjolur highland trail before heading back to the farm. After dinner it is time to leave the horses before the transfer back to Reykjavik for an overnight stay.
