Combine a wonderful horseback riding experience surrounded by beautiful nature with a visit to the fascinating Wonders of Iceland exhibition at Perlan.
Start your day with a horse riding adventure just outside Reykjavík’s city center. You will experience the Icelandic horse surrounded by amazing nature as your friendly horse and specially trained guide take you along excellent riding paths through lava fields and green hillsides.
When you arrive back at the stables, enjoy complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate and feel free to ask our staff any questions about the Icelandic horse. This riding tour is ideal both for beginners and more experienced riders.
After you say goodbye to your horse, your journey continues at Perlan, one of Reykjavík’s most unique attractions. There, you can explore the Wonders of Iceland exhibition and discover glaciers, volcanoes and the natural forces that have shaped the country.
You can walk through a real indoor ice cave and experience interactive exhibitions that bring Iceland’s nature to life. From the observation deck, you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views over Reykjavík and the surrounding area.
This combination offers you a perfect balance of outdoor adventure and engaging discovery, all within a short distance from the city center.
We reccomend that you bring warm gloves and a thin hat that can fit under the riding helmet. Included in the price is that you can borrow a helmet, winter overall or rainwear, as well as rubber boots.
Maximum weight for a rider is 110kg/242lb.
Riding clothes. Riding gear (riding trousers, jackets, etc.) needs to be washed (40°C) or dry cleaned. Items which can not be washed or dry cleaned (riding boots, riding hats) need to be cleaned and disinfected at least five days prior to arriving in Iceland. The Icelandic Veterinary Authority recommends the broad-spectrum disinfectant Virkon S for disinfection. Used riding gloves, whips, saddles, bridles, chaps and other used leather gear may not be brought into the country.
Kindly note that these precautions are necessary because there are no contagious animal diseases in Iceland. Horses are not vaccinated and are therefore susceptible to infectious agents from abroad. Please help us to protect Iceland’s fragile nature! For further information please take a look at: Import of riding equipment | Matvælastofnun
