HORSEBACK RIDING BY DAY AND NORTHERN LIGHTS BY NIGHT

For all those who want to travel with a bit more comfort, we are pleased to offer for a first time a four-day autumn and winter tour with hotel accommodation during the whole tour. All rooms with shower/WC and the little bit of extra privacy requested by many of our guests. This tour is equally suited for riders and non-riders since there is always the option of taking part in non-riding activities. Riding, hiking and relaxing in the geothermal water underneath the Icelandic winter sky ablaze with dazzling stars and the dancing Aurora Borealis. Bonfire, Traditional Stories and great Icelandic food combined with visits to the Secret Lagoon and a Northern Lights hunt in the saddle in the dark are fascinating features of this tour! On the way to Reykjavik we stop and visit Gullfoss and the Geysir Hot Spring Area.
