This combination of a
Viking Horse Riding Tour and
AH11 Golden Circle Afternoon is for those that don't have much time, but want to make the most of their day.
The Icelandic horse is a breed that has remained virtually unchanged since the Vikings brought it to Iceland in the 9th century. Enjoy a riding tour in the idyllic landscape of Laxnes, located just out of Reykjavik city. The riding tour is suitable for all ages and experience levels, from beginner to expert.
After the riding experience and a short break we head to the National Park Þingvellir, with its remarkable geological features. The Icelandic Parliament - Alþingi - was founded on the site in 930 AD., making it the oldest still-functioning parliament in the world.
We visit the impressive glacial waterfall Gullfoss and the geothermal area around Geysir and Strokkur with its spouting geysers. The tour takes us through fertile agricultural areas and we visit Hveragerdi village with its numerous greenhouses, before heading back to Reykjavik over the mountain heath Hellisheiði.
Please note: This tour is not recommended for children under the age of 6.
