Day 1 Arrive in Iceland and we go to the Farm to get ready for the riding.

The adventure starts between 9.00 and 10.00 in the morning at Solhestar horse rental farm. Each customer is assigned with

two horses matching their riding experience and personality, as well as is equipped with an appropriate riding gear rain jackets

and pants, boots, safety helmets, and gloves. The tour initiates by primarily riding alongside the Ingolfsfjall Mountain on

a rocky and rugged terrain until we reach Reykjadalur (“Smokey Valley”), which is a mud spring area. From there we continue

riding through the mountain paths next to Kambar old road, which back in the days was used as a most frequented

route between Reykjavik and they are in the south. The path leads all the way up to the valley where the power station on geothermal energy, utilization, and sustainability nowadays takes place. After reaching this point, we continue riding throughKolvidarhóll, a place of a popular and an essential guesthouse for the travelers in the past. This is the affinal destination for the first day of the tour. The ride is estimated to be 28 km long, which is a total duration of

4 to 5 hours in the saddle. After the ride customers are being brought back to their accommodation, where they are able

to rest and power up for the upcoming riding day.

From there we ride to open lava field area until we reach a 25-year-old gas station on the mountain, where we take a 

short break. After exploration, we continue our riding journey through lava field all the way until we come across 

The Rauðhólar, unique natural phenomena of red lava hills on the south-eastern outskirts of Reykjavík. After riding

through stunning red lava formations we head back to the new stable of Solhestar situated next to Reykjavik. The second-day
