Day 1: Friðheimar Greenhouse Restaurant – Gullfoss Waterfall - Horse Riding - Geysir
Pick up at 9 am at your hotel in Reykjavík. Please be ready in your riding clothes at pick up. Our first stop today will be a Friðheimar stable where we learn everything about the Icelandic horse and enjoy a show of their gaits. From there is a short transfer to a local horse farm for
your first private ride. After an introduction into the safety issues, tack and gaits of the Icelandic horse we set off for a lovely gentle ride over good tölting tracks through the lush countryside.
After the ride we take a short drive to Gullfoss waterfall before we go to Hotel Geysir where we
stay for 1 night. Great opportunity to visit Geysir hot spring area either after dinner or before
breakfast.
Riding: Approx 3 hours.
Day 2: Waterfalls – Glaciers and Black Beach ride
After a heartful breakfast we check out and say goodbye to hotel Geysir. Today we enjoy sightseeing tour along the Southshore, visiting the mighty Skógafoss waterfall, Dyrhólaey bird sanctuary where we might spot some puffins. On our way back we stop at a horse farm and
enjoy riding to the black beach. We start at the farm and head south towards the ocean. Along the way, we will cross several rivers and fields before reaching the beautiful Black Beach and the vast Atlantic Ocean. If we are fortunate, we may see a curious seal popping its head up to
greet us! We can also enjoy a canter in the soft black sand before making our way back to the
farm.
After the ride we visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall (without the crowd) and take a walk behind the fall. From there is only a short drive to our hotel where we stay for one night.
Riding: Approx 3 hours.
Day 3: Countryside River Ride – Sky Lagoon
After breakfast we check out and drive to our last farm (but not the least) for a 3 hours ride along the Rangá river banks. This is a beautiful ride that takes you longer next to the beautiful and quite river Rangá, crossing several times little rivers going into the Rangá river. Riding
through green meadows and next to an old lava field. After the ride we drive back to Reykjavik but before checking in at our hotel we enjoy our last bath together and the renowned Sky Lagoon where the sea meet the sky. Tour ends at your hotel in Reykjavik
