About tour

Discover the best of Icelandic adventure with this exciting combo tour that combines horseback riding and an ATV ride, all just a short drive from Reykjavik.

Start your experience by meeting our friendly horses and guides at the stables located about 20 minutes from Reykjavik city center. Ride along excellent riding paths through beautiful lava fields and green hillsides while getting to know the unique Icelandic horse. Our specially trained guides make the tour enjoyable for both beginners and experienced riders. When possible we organize the groups according to riding ability so everyone can enjoy the ride at a comfortable pace. The slower group rides mostly at a walk while the faster group moves at a quicker pace (trot and tölt). After the ride relax at the stables with complimentary coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and learn more about the Icelandic horse from our staff.

Your adventure then continues with an exciting ATV ride through rugged trails and scenic paths around Lake Hafravatn. Drive across varied terrain as you head up to Reykjavik Peak where breathtaking views await. From the top you can enjoy wide views over the surrounding landscapes including mountains, lava fields, and the coastline. This ATV experience is suitable for beginners and offers a fun and memorable way to explore Icelandic nature.

This combo tour is perfect for travelers who want to experience Iceland from two different perspectives in one day. Ride through peaceful countryside on horseback and then enjoy the thrill of driving an ATV to one of the best viewpoints near Reykjavik. A valid driving license is required to operate the ATV and each vehicle has two seats.
