A RIDING TOUR IN REYKJAVIK FOR EXPERIENCED RIDERS!
Are you an experienced rider who wants to see the capabilities of the Icelandic horse? Then the exciting Viking Tour day-trip is for you. You'll ride on excellent riding paths through lava fields in Heiðmörk Nature Park.

The tour starts with a shorter introductory ride in the morning (Lava tour) before you make a stop for lunch. Upon completing lunch, you continue exploring the different gaits of the Icelandic horse – be prepared to ride trot, the unique tölt or short canter in a beautiful scenery.

In the afternoon your group will be joined by fellow travelers on the Viking Express tour as you continue exploring both the Icelandic horse and dramatic landscape the surroundings have to offer. Please note that this tour is for strong intermediate riders that are comfortable and in control of the horse at all paces. The final choice of route is dependent on both season and weather and is subject to change to ensure a fun and adventurous experience for everyone.

We take pride in our personal service and limit group sizes to be 20 or below per riding group to ensure a safe and enjoyable tour for all of our guests. We look forward to showing you the Icelandic horse in its natural surroundings! Our stables are located a short 20-minute drive outside of Reykjavik’s city center.
