The Hot Spring riding tour in Iceland

This riding tour in Iceland offers spectacular views and a surprising variety of magnificent Icelandic nature. We start with the trail to Reykjafjall Mountain and continue on nice riding trails surrounding the small village Hveragerði. The trail then takes us through a green forest to a colorful geothermal valley with hot springs.

This is a famous area which expanded dramatically during an earthquake in 2008. On our way towards the green mountain hills surrounding the volcano Hengill we have good opportunities to try “tölt”, the special gait of the Icelandic horse. The horses will then take us on a leisurely pace following narrow trails up into the valley Reykjadalur. We pass the beautiful waterfall Djúpagilsfoss and some hot springs before we reach Reykjadalur valley and will have the opportunity to take a relaxing bath in a warm stream, so remember to bring your bathing suit.

During the horse ride down the valley, we enjoy fascinating panoramas over the surrounding nature and the village Hveragerði. You will enjoy this wonderful view over farmland, the coastline, where we might see the Westman Islands if the weather permits it. We continue our ride along the mountain slopes again back to the farm, where coffee and home-baked cake is waiting for us.
