Elves are important creatures in Iceland. They get to decide where roads can go, and houses can be built. On this tour we see some places populated by these special creatures, the “hidden people”, but as they are hidden, we will not actually meet them! So, depending on where the horses felt their presence last time, you will ride on one of two paths.

On this day tour, we explore the stunning scenery between the volcanic mountains and the Atlantic Ocean in southern Iceland. We start by riding on pleasant trails across our meadows, perfect for trying the unique gait of the Icelandic horse, "tölt." We follow the river Gljúfurá to an old cemetery near the mighty glacial river Ölusá, where we can take in the spectacular view of the river delta and the famous volcanoes Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull, depending on the weather. We then travel along a grassy path to the soft, black lava sand on the river banks and through shallow water to the lush island of Lambey. Along the way, we have the chance to spot various types of birds living in the wetlands of the nearby bird sanctuary. We stop for a lunch break outdoors before continuing through farmland to Mount Ingólfsfjall, a table mountain named after the first settler of Iceland, Ingólfur Arnarson. We take an old Viking path along the mountain Reykjafjall, where sheep and horses graze in the summer. On our way back to our farm Vellir, we have a great view of the surrounding area and the village of Hveragerði. When we return to our farm, coffee and home-baked cake await us.
