Travel through the remote side of Iceland by going to Iceland Wilderness Center, where you’ll have a chance to saddle up a horse and ride through impressive Icelandic grounds. Explore the beauty of Iceland in a fun and exclusive way and get to meet its lovely horses.
Your adventure will start with choosing a horse you feel the most comfortable around and preparing it for the ride. Your starting point will be the Wilderness Center, known for its remoteness and unspoiled nature. Once you’re ready, you’ll head out to an abandoned Kleif farm. This is where you’ll get to admire the wilderness around you. If you’re not afraid of a little challenge, make your way through the Jökulsá River in a traditional cableway.
Please note that the tour time includes picking a horse, saddling it up, riding, and taking pictures.
The weight limit for the Icelandic horses is 100kg/220lbs. Unfortunately, this limit is non-negotiable due to animal and guest safety.
Please consider appropriate riding wear for the tour. We would suggest you bring waterproof gear with you.
Please do not wear shoes that have been used with horses outside of Iceland.
Unfortunately, pregnant guests cannot take part in the horseback riding tour for safety reasons.
For everyone’s safety, all participants should be able to understand and communicate in English.
Family tours for children aged 6–10 are available in the calendar. Please note that these tours are slightly shorter, lasting approximately 1 to 1.5 hours and require at least 3 participants for booking.
