Riding Iceland - Passion for horses, food and nature Surprise Yourself! Following the traditional riding trails into the heart of the Icelandic highlands
is a new adventure and a challenge for everyone.

We offer a range of horse riding adventures exploring the Icelandic highlands as well as various topics of Iceland's rich culture and history within our cultural theme tours. Being so close to the beating heart of nature comes along with new experiences and leads you to cross unknown boundaries. It is due to the clean and fresh mountain air, the crystal clear spring water found in the mountains of

the highlands as well as the high physical activity, that you will find to have a cleaning effect on your body and mind. It is not difficult to anticipate how much true happiness lies in a healthy appetite and a sound night's sleep after a few hours out there in weather and dust, riding through some of the most overwhelming panoramas. Every day comes with new victories - new adventures and new atmospheres. Surprise yourself every day on one of our unforgettable Riding Iceland Tours.

Last night in Flateyjardalur. Last trip of the season and it could not have been better! Lovely riding up to Heiðarhús, and there we got perfectly still weather for a bonfire. Full moon / super moon lighting up the whole valley, and despite that, the northern lights were still visible. Just magic. This place never disappoints 🥰🥰🥰

Will you join us on this tour autumn ‘25? 🙃

Yesterday we came back from 2 days of riding into the hidden valley - Flateyjardalur. The plan was 4 days, but due to snow/ice/cold weather we had to adjust a bit. We rode through the beautiful winter landscape, crossed rivers with big icechuncks covering the surface, stayed overnight in a hut with no water, electricity or reception. Northern lights treated us well during our bonfire. A trip not to forget 🥰
Thanks Cloudno9style for bringing this great group!

The guests on the Comfort Diamond tour rode to Húsavík today. The weather was great, and the ride (through the forest) looked rather ‘un-Icelandic’ at times!!

DREAMTOUR PART 3 - MOUNTAIN HUTS AND WILDERNESS

Unfortunately some of our guests had to cancel due to health reasons, which means we now have a few seats available on this great adventure into the wilderness of Northern Iceland!

Who will join us? :)
Note that this tour has long ridingdays and often pretty offbeat trails and simple accommodation (mountain huts), so the tour is only suitable for advanced riders with good stamina! If you are not sure this tour is suitable for you, please contact us by email before booking so we can advise.
Book online or send us an email ([email protected]) to book :)

Find more information and the booking button (discount already included) here:

This part is ideal for those who love the wilderness and primitive accommodations in mountain huts along the way.
