I have been hiring people in this space for a number of years and I have never seen this level of professionalism. It really feels like you are working with a team that can get the job done.
Reykjavik to Stóri Kálfalækur, Dalur, and Kolviðarnes
The journey begins with a around 12:30 pm pickup in Reykjavik, followed by a bus ride to Stóri Kálfalækur. Over there we have lunch, get acquainted, and prepare our tack for the ride of the day. Once ready, we will set off to meet our horses, who have been enjoying a rest in a nearby field. Our ride takes us through lava fields and sparse vegetation to the striking yellow sand beaches, where the rhythmic tölt of our horses blends with the sound of waves. We continue our ride in the fjords making our way to the picturesque stop, Kolviðarnes, where the horses rest overnight, while we return to Stóri Kálfalækur farm
Riding Distance: Approximately 30 kilometers.
Kolviðarnes-Stóri Kálfalækur
Today's journey is tied to the rhythms of the tide as we begin by navigating the Haffjarðará. This stream, under the influence of the tide, oscillates between a tranquil crossing and a formidable river. Guided by Siggi's deep understanding of the area, we will traverse the stream safely at the opportune moment. Our path then leads us along the edge of the Eldborg volcano's expansive lava field. As we venture further into the serene fjords, the retreating tide sculpts an ever-evolving landscape of small streams and inlets. Watch closely for eagles soaring above, scouting for fish left behind by the receding waters.
Our day's ride culminates with a return to Stóri Kálfalækur. The evening promises a delightful closure to our journey, marked by a final dinner together. We will enjoy an evening filled with the warmth of great company.
Riding Distance: Approximately 35-40 kilometers.
Sightseeing in Snæfellsnes Peninsula
Our third day is a scenic excursion to the beautiful Snæfellsnes Peninsula. We will pack up in the morning and head towards Ólafsvik, where we embark on an exciting whale watching tour, a unique opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close. This day provides a well-deserved break from horseback riding, allowing those continuing on the Grand-Tour to explore and relax. Also a perfect way to end a special adventure for those who are heading home after the tour.
Return to Reykjavik in the evening
