After an introduction to Icelandic riding, we begin our ride along the glacial river Thjorsa. This day is ideal for getting to know the Icelandic horse in a relaxed atmosphere. We leave the horses in Sandlaekjarmyri and drive back to the Kalfholl guesthouse, where we spend the evening. (approx. 16 km)

Today we continue our ride from Sandlaekjarmyri. We'll traverse the diverse landscape of South Iceland on idyllic bridle paths, enjoying expansive views of the verdant surroundings. Water conditions permitting, we'll cross the Stora Laxa River and ride on to Solheimar Farm, where our horses will spend the night. Afterwards, we'll return to Kalfholl for dinner and overnight accommodation. (approx. 20 km) After this eventful day of riding, a special highlight awaits us: a relaxing bath in the popular Secret Lagoon, one of Iceland's oldest natural bathing lagoons. Here we will end the day in pleasantly warm water.

Today's ride begins at Solheimar Farm. From here, we ride through the tranquil and expansive landscape of South Iceland, passing the historic village of Hruni. Our route continues past traditional sheepfolds made of basalt columns and into the stunning natural beauty of Hvitardalur. Finally, we reach Bruarhlöd, a captivating gorge on the Hvítá River, which also feeds the famous Gullfoss waterfall. After the ride, we return to Kalfholl, where a group dinner and our accommodation await us. (approx. 20 km)

Today we begin our ride in Skjol and follow the bridle paths through green meadows and the open landscape of the Icelandic highlands. On horseback, we approach one of the country's most famous natural wonders: the mighty Gullfoss waterfall. Once we arrive at the waterfall, there will be ample time to experience the immense power of the water up close. We will also learn more about the story of Sigridur of Brattholt, who once campaigned for the preservation of the waterfall and is still considered an important figure in the history of Gullfoss. After a leisurely break with time for photos and unforgettable views, we ride back to Skjol along the same route. (approx. 20 km)

On our last day of riding, we set off from Skjol towards the famous Geysir area. The route leads through the Haukadalur forest, one of Iceland's few wooded areas, and along varied riding trails with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the geothermal landscape. Upon arriving at the geyser, we'll take an extended break while our horses relax in a nearby paddock. Use this time to explore the impressive geothermal area and experience the regular eruptions of the active Strokkur geyser up close – a fascinating natural spectacle that has captivated visitors for generations.
