Join us for a private 3-hour riding tour through the breathtaking landscapes of Skagafjörður, a region celebrated for its wide valleys, glacial rivers, and deep-rooted horsemanship traditions. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, this tour is tailored to your pace and skill level. You’ll ride one of our friendly, sure-footed Icelandic horses — famous for their gentle nature and unique tölt gait — while our guides share stories of the land, the horses, and the strong bond between Icelanders and their steeds. Our routes vary depending on your riding experience — from calm, scenic trails ideal for beginners to more challenging terrain and longer tölting stretches for advanced riders. No matter your level, you’ll enjoy stunning views, open meadows, and the fresh northern air as you explore Iceland’s untouched beauty.
