Enjoy one of the most diverse horseback riding experiences in South Iceland. Our farm near Hvolsvöllur is located along the South Coast — about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Reykjavík — making it an ideal starting point for this scenic adventure toward the Írá river and Írafoss waterfall. Here we’ll take a short break and capture unforgettable photos of you and your Icelandic horse against the dramatic backdrop.
From there, we continue east past small farms and climb onto a sandbank with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. The ride then leads us along the dramatic shoreline of Lake Holtsós, where mountain scenery and coastal riding blend into one breathtaking trail. On clear days, we may even glimpse the Westman Islands offshore and catch sight of the mighty Skógafoss waterfall in the distance, along with the glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull.
The minimum age for our trail rides is 6 years. For our youngest riders, we happily offer pony rides here at the farm. Feel free to send us a booking inquiry — we’d love to welcome you!
Between Hella and Hvolsvöllur there is one road called “Oddavegur”. The sign on the main road says “Oddi” where you have to turn. You take Oddavegur all the way down until it is not possible to drive straight anymore (first asphalt, then continue on gravel path). In the end of the road you turn to the right and then the farm “Grimsstadir” is on the right side of the road
