Iceland on Horseback - Lake Mývatn
8 days - Aug-Sep - From US $ 2,421

Riding the wonderful Icelandic horse in its native land is a glorious experience. These hardy, winsome horses are delightful mounts and their gait, the tölt, is ideally suited to the rugged terrain of Iceland. They adeptly navigate their way past deep earthquake fissures, multicolored mountains, beautiful birch forest, and cool lakes and rivers, leaving you with little else to do but marvel at the passing scenery, magical waterfalls, and enormous glaciers that dot the landscape. This 8-day adventure begins on the north coast of Iceland and will lead you through an ever-changing landscape that reveals new scenery and impressions at every turn.

Experience incredible Lake Mývatn on horseback, with its countless numbers of ducks, pseudo-craters, volcano Krafla, the explosive crater Víti, and the breathtaking view of the majestic waterfall Gullfoss. To see the boiling mud pools and eerie lava formations of Hverarönd is to witness the power and uniqueness of the Icelandic landscape. At Jarðböð, relax in a hot geothermal pool under the full and beautiful Icelandic moon and reflect on the beauty of the landscape seen during the day’s journey. The ride back takes you across the beautiful and majestic lava-blackened sand of the beaches. This Icelandic adventure is one you will remember for many years to come.
