On the horse riding tour by hot springs, you'll have the opportunity to take in a range of landscapes. The ride begins on well-maintained trails that take you up a hill, through a green forest (a rare sight in Iceland), and along the mountain Reykjafjall. You'll pass many hot springs in the impressive and colorful geothermal area above the village of Hveragerði, also known as the "hot spring capital of the world." This region underwent significant expansion following an earthquake in 2008 and is constantly changing. The route also goes through volcanic hills above the village, which boasts a beautiful location between the volcano Hengill and the vast plains of the southern lowlands. You'll have a nice view of the Varmá river (called the "warm river" because geothermal water flows through it) and green valleys with rising steam in the distance.
This tour provides the chance to witness spectacular sceneries and a variety of Icelandic nature.

As we head to the Hengill volcano, we can try the "tölt," a gait exclusive to the Icelandic horse. We make our way across the Djúpagilsfoss waterfall and some hot springs until we get to the Reykjadalur valley, where we can take a refreshing dip in a warm stream. The ride down the valley offers stunning views of Hveragerdi, the countryside, and the Westman Islands if the weather permits. Lastly, we head back to the farm and enjoy coffee and homemade cake.
