Ride the ancient Icelandic horse — a breed unchanged since the Viking Age — across lava fields and coastal meadows, then dine on a traditional Viking-inspired feast at a heritage farmstead. Living history, beautifully told.
What to expect
Your guide matches you to your horse by temperament and experience level — no riding background required. The Icelandic horse's unique fifth gait, the tölt, delivers a silky-smooth canter across dramatic volcanic meadows overlooking the sea. After the ride, the farmhouse dining room is laid with hand-hewn wooden platters of slow-roasted lamb, skyr, rye bread baked in geothermal ground, and Brennivín aquavit. Stories of the Sagas flow as freely as the mead.
Good to know
Farm is located in South Iceland, approximately 45 minutes from Reykjavík. Riding suitable for all ability levels. Helmets provided; wear long trousers and sturdy shoes. The combined riding-and-feast package must be booked at least 2 weeks ahead. Confirm return time against your all-aboard.
