Custom Countryside Ride

If you want to enjoy a multi-day riding tour in the privacy of your family or group of friends, this is the right option for you.

 

You stay in the beautifully renovated farmhouse Minni-Vellir, close to Hekla volcano, with views all the way to Langjökull  and Eyjafjallajökull glaciers. It's the perfect location to discover the Golden Circle or the Waterfalls of the South even further.

 

We customize the multi-day riding tour according to your riding abilities and wishes, we have endless possibilities in terms of duration and difficulties of the ride.

Hekla volcano is one of Iceland's most active volcanos and got the name 'Gate to Hell' in the Medieval time, due to her explosive eruptions. While being feared, the lava and ash from the eruptions also provided fertilization of the soil and created rich pastures in the area around the volcano.

 

You will explore the lava fields from different Hekla eruptions as well as the lush pastures on this tour.

The minimum group size is 3 people, but you can stay with groups up to 10 people.

You can choose self catering or add the option of full board to your booking.
