🗺️ What to Expect: Your Evening Expedition

The Preparation: Your journey begins with a stress-free pickup from your hotel. Upon arrival at our stables, you’ll be fitted with top-tier gear. Whether you are a first-time rider or an expert, our guides provide a personalized riding lesson to ensure you are comfortable with your horse’s unique personality and gaits.

The Journey: We set off as the sun begins its slow descent, winding through the vibrant green Hólmsheiði hills. We then enter Stallion Valley, a peaceful enclave of Icelandic nature, before reaching the grand Rauðhólar. These red lava formations look their most “magnificent” in the evening light. You’ll spend 1.5 to 2 hours in the saddle, fully immersed in the silence of the Icelandic countryside.

The Afterglow: Back at the stable, we gather for a light meal and hot refreshments. It’s the perfect time to review your photos and soak in the “afterglow” of the ride before we drop you back at your accommodation.
