Horse Riding and Hot Spring Bathing Tour from Reykjavik

Spend a day like a Viking by riding an Icelandic horse before taking a dip in a natural hot spring in the wild nature. What sets this fantastic full-day riding tour apart from others is that aside from riding the famous Icelandic horse, you’ll get to unwind in warm, geothermal waters.

This tour starts early in the morning when the guide picks you up from Reykjavík. Then, the guide will take you out of the city and to a horse farm in southwest Iceland. They will pair you with a horse there, and you can spend a few minutes getting to know it before heading out into the countryside.

Following your guide, you’ll ride along the slopes of Mt. Reykjafell or “smokey mountain”, as it is known in Icelandic. Next, the path will take you through a green forest surrounding the inactive Hengill Volcano. Here, you can try the famous tölt gain, unique to Icelandic horses.

You will then head into the geothermal valley of Reykjadalur, or “smokey valley”. The path to the valley is scenic, and your horse will traverse it at a leisurely pace so you can take in the scenery. En route, you will pass a beautiful waterfall and a few hot springs that bubble with boiling water.

Once in Reykjadalur, you’ll dismount for your lunch break, an optional hike, and a dip in the natural hot springs. So remember to bring your bathing suit! After the soak, it is time to head back to the farm, where coffee/tea and a homemade cake are waiting for you. The scenery on the way offers you panoramic views of Hveragerði Town, picturesque farmlands, and the southern coastline.
